InlandPolitics (Saturday, January 21, 2012 , 06:15 p.m.) The highway funding arm of the U.S. Department of Transportation has cleared San Bernardino County Third District Supervisor Neil Derry to resume voting on federally-funded expenditures in his...

What does San Bernardino have in common with 29 Palms?

Shazam! Redevelopment, performing arts theaters and hapless arrogance! The City of San Bernardino is now ranked #2 on the list of the poorest cities in America, behind Detroit. Twentynine Palms is not on the short list however there are similarities in regards to redevelopment plans both cities are pursuing. What is San Bernardino doing about its unwanted ranking? The City Council is embarking on a ridiculous half-baked redevelopment plan to revitalize the city’s downtown area by revamping an old movie theater. The city is nearly bankrupt, half of its...

Neil Derry: The San Bernardino International Airport debacle

Expert analysis needed at SBIA By Supervisor Neil Derry 10/12/2011 San Bernardino Sun For years, I and many others have watched in utter shock and amazement at the unfolding debacle known as the San Bernardino International Airport, which should be called the “airport to nowhere.” It has always defied a logical explanation. A convicted felon who has served time in prison and been banned from the aviation industry is tapped to develop an airport that is only minutes from an existing international airport.

S.B. County: Supes staffer writing for attack blog

“White’s blogging was on county time of course.” — Administrator, inlandPolitics inlandPolitics.com | Thursday, July 21, 2011 | By Administrator (Jim Erwin) You know the saying. How does it go? What tangled webs we weave. Looks like the saying may apply to Joshua White. White is a paid staffer for San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford.

State had no felony cases to begin with

By Fritz Koenig | Commentary |  Opinion | July 21, 2012 EXCERPTS The State’s felony charges were weak from the very outset.  The effect of this prosecution has been to suspend Derry’s public proposals to install anti-corruption systems.  Such errors are routinely processed by the Fair Political Practices Commission. In fact, Neil Derry did report the money in question as coming from the entity that was written on the face of the check.  Yet the only remaining charge against Derry was a “failure to report” misdemeanor about an act...

Suggesting conflict of interest, Derry seeks new judge

SB Sun | By Joe Nelson, Staff Writer |  07/17/2011 11 Initially viewed in inlandPolitics.com A pretrial hearing for San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry will likely be delayed because Derry’s attorney will ask that a judge from another jurisdiction preside over the hearing.”Derry, as a supervisor of the county, technically could have the power to make decisions about the judge presiding over the preliminary hearing,” George Newhouse, Derry’s attorney, said Friday. Newhouse said his request should delay the preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Thursday in San Bernardino...
