As study has been conducted on the Sheriff’s election. Factors utilized were monetary contributions, straw polls, yard signs, bumper stickers, endorsements, blogs and debates. The properties were analyzed and the objectives and constraints consisted of some expected values of prescribed variables with parameters. I’ll just get to the point – Rambosk will be victorious with a projected minimum of 62% of the vote. (Margin of error is 2 points)

Geeride...I agree with U despite your bombastic diatribe.

Rambosk has everyone beat!

He has values!

He has a family without an exwife or a shoplifter of a kid involved!

He's geniunely a remarkable citizen within Naples in his service to the community.

He has my vote!

Nuf said!

Vinny and Victor are BOTH breaking the law, right now, as I write this. They have systematically been installing their campaign signs (both large and small)on public right-of-ways, county road sidings, and bridge abutments.

When I reached out to better understand this situation I was informed that their signage placements are in direct violation and can be cited by code enforcement for EACH VIOLATION.The citation would demand that they have 72 hours to remove their illegal signage or be subject to further legal action. So within 72 hours the election will be over...these two bums are breaking the law by using a 72 hour time-loophole to get their name out there. They are playing all of us for fools.

Just remember, any sign you see for Vinny or Victor should read "Vote for me, I'm a lawbraker." Or, "I know the loopholes, vote for me to put one over on you."

I have been a supporter of Kevin Rambosk from the begining of his campaign, I support him today and I will be voting for Kevin Rambosk on August 26th. KEVIN RAMBOSK FOR COLLIER SHERIFF, VOTE ON AUGUST 26TH FOR KEVIN RAMBOSK FOR COLLIER SHERIFF.

Beetle, please pray tell who has a daughter who is a shoplifter? And, Jake, why don't you say anything about all the supporting, factual documents you were sent that showed your candidate was not accurate. How about not being able to determine his 10 year volunteerism in N.J. (means he would have had to start at age 12 as a cop explorer, or whatever that was). Can't confirm that, yet you don't say so. Wait, how about the letter you just sent to several people including the state FOP? Are you upset that someone knows how many PRBs you've had and how many were sustained? Is that why you are quoted saying that in this article? Oh, how about Rambosk somehow miraculously received his bachelor's degree what, six years AFTER he left N.J. and before distance or computer learning was in place? I wonder how he accomplished that. I can't believe that anyone could build up that much leave time to go back to N.J. and complete a degree. yes, I know, you will say at least he has one, but if you want facts to come out, then so be it. Even the facts about your PRBs. Are you willing to post those facts?

Hey Marco, do you want the photo of the ex-undersheriff's campaign sign on county property, and by that I mean the Immokalee Jail Center property? I've got it if you want it. What about that? I think some other people have it too..Hmm, I wonder who?
Oh wow, a code violation. Heaven forbid. But, I guess it's better than violating STATE and FEDERAL laws now isn't it?

The NDN failed to mention Mothernature who has also has been blogging on LEOAffairs under the screen name AngelAngel. This person posts lies and make outlandish accusations about the Sheriff’s Office and its deputies. When people counter her comments, she complains to the moderator asking that the counter-posters blogs be removed and that they be banned from posting there – she is actually attempting to take over the thread for herself. I would really like to hear from the NDN just how many times Mothernature complained to them about posts she did not like and how many posts she's suggested for removal.

excellent post,mothernature! how about the naples daily news expose those deputies who have 4 or more complaints against them with I.A.

Also, Carolyn Rambosk and Bsmith, please send me that e-mail address again so I can forward you all the information you requested on the problems at the CCSO/investigations, etc. The message got deleted out of my spam folder before I could send it. I know you want to try to find out before the election what all is out there. I'll try to comply with that request. But, after Tuesday, don't you think it will be moot because Victor Ortino will be the sheriff-elect?

thanks Monk...I have a list myself with several of them. Of course the CCSO PIO is dragging their feet taking two weeks just to acknowledge the request. I guess they can't do real work when they are out campaigning and filming every bit of that other candidate's stuff. I guess Charlie Crist got to Don Hunter and said listen Don, I know you think we are good friends, but I won't let your PIO office screw up my chance at vice president and go against my Office of Open Government. I finally got an answer that they received it. Now just waiting for even more documents, especially the ones on the Canadian border incident and some others. I wish we could post PDF files here, do I have some doosies already.

GeeRide, why won't you send me your e-mail address so I can send you the documents. Oh, wait, maybe I have it. We'll see tomorrow won't we when people start getting stuff in their inboxes from me....I haven't marked anyone for their posts here that I can recall. What, are you one of the ones who I have a PRB file request out on? Are you scared of me finding out the info?

Also GeeRide, I have the documentation to prove my statements that I have made. What about your posts on LEOAFFAIRS and here? Hmmm???
Once again, personal attacks begin. At least this time it waited until the second post before someone bashed an Ortino supporter. Wow, that's late for some people. Just give the facts and I've been saying from the beginning, I will e-mail anyone who wants the documents. I've posted my e-mail address on both blogs. So why is it just now an issue? I don't think it is...Oh well. Victor Ortino will do what is right and legal, unlike some others I know about....

On Wednesday morning the sun will come up to a new Sheriff-elect for the first time in 20 years. Kevin Rambosk will be that Sheriff-elect.

The other candidates and their supporters can try and spin it anyway they want--it's still going to end up that way.

The nice thing about Sheriff Rambosk is that he is professional and ethical. He will be everyone's Sheriff, not just his supporters.

Too bad Vic and Vinny aren't cut from the same cloth. Of course, if they were they would never have run in the first place because of their lack of qualifications.

Good night all. Happy blogging. I've got to get ready to go to work...

Mothernature...10-98, repeat 10-98.

You wish mother! Did you already complain and suggest my comments for removal? I know there is only one truth - your truth. I would think that if I was afraid of you I would not be here. However I am afraid that your zealousness may have taken you off the map of sanity. Everyone is still waiting for the "bombshells" you've been promising. Those documents you are sending out are of no value. Remember Kevin will get 62%.

Ortino is a class act. The other guy has shown he cannot or will not keep his word, and has shown no leadership at all in five years at the sheriffs department or in managing his campaign.

ORTINO for sheriff.

Oops...before I go, I made an error, it wasn't Immokalee, but East Naples where the sign was...too much Fay on the brain

Mother, since when did you get a job? You've been blogging nearly 24/7 the last few months - or is this just a dodging tactic?

Another sales job by Ryan for his man. What you been promised Ryan? I have a photo of the ex undersherrif's sign at the East Naples Substation that is in violation. What about all the yard signs Rambosk people putting up illegally without permission. I know cause I've stopped in places & they said they didnt' have permission & the owner of the property went took them down. The article fails to mention Jake handing out cards for his website & they say it's non profit & the IRS said they have no record of them. All the open PRB files they won't close cause could hurt the ex undersheriff like the Lt. working while on duty & same Lt. made sure his wife didn't get charged with shoplifting. Etc. etc. The latest to come out the cover up for the current undersheriff's son. It's all coming out & you all know it's true. Yes you have been campainging while on duty. Why is Bridget so scared to give up time cards, pay stubs & other public records requests requested weeks ago. Don't forget you can still file complaint with election law people after the election so not to worry. You are all full of crap you at the CCSO know it's all true & the coverups are unbelievable. Anyone else read the 35 page interview Williams did with one of the women Freeman sexually harrassed? What about him getting people to do this homework for his Masters degree while they were on duty at the jail on his personal laptop.

We need a change at the Sheriff's office. Twenty years of good old boy's, coverups and politics is just too much. Rambosk will not change a thing, he has been part of the problem.
We need change. Vote Ortino!

I was mingling around today at a sign waving event. If only the voters of this county could hear the supporters of the incumbent -- who by the way was forced to resign to avoid prosecution for willful violations of federal law -- and the incumbent act and speak when they think no one can hear or see them. Outrageous does not begin to describe them. Pitiful.

Ortino for sheriff. It's what must happen to restore integrity and equity in accountability in the sheriffs department.

ORTINO FOR SHERIFF

oh Andy give it up for pete's sake. Mingling?

You're right Coyote - and all ten of Vic’s supporters were aghast! And I really hate to correct you but the incumbent, Don Hunter, is not running for re-election. But I guess you CAN call Rambosk the incumbent come Tuesday night….

Geeride, AndyCoyote lives in Lee County and isnt really aware of what is happening here in Collier. He just likes to make stuff up.

So I've noticed..

#20 Toesmom: what can you tell us about this quote from an article in the NDN?

“What I did was childish, sophomoric, amateur, and failed miserably to adhere to the standards of this agency or to professional management and leadership as a whole,” Lauer wrote in a letter."

Is it really true that a deputy made sure his wife did not get charged with shoplifting while three innocent young men were arrested by the CCSO for a crime they did not commit punishable by life in prison?

There seems to be a lot of resentment towards the current CCSO administration and deputies. It would be nice to have a positive experience and community relationship with the deputies. It seems like many of them are on an ego trip and using their positions to make up for their inadequacies. Unfortunately, the current administration doesn't feel this is a problem and probably won't make any changes.

Yes, let’s vote for someone with NO PROFESSIONAL law enforcement experience as sheriff of one of the TOP sheriff’s office's in the NATION. Ortino was a traffic cop for 3 years, the only thing that qualifies him to do is writing speeding tickets and sleeping in the median. If he is elected sheriff, it will HURT the whole county. I have talked to MANY people that are employed with the CCSO from civilian, law enforcement and corrections. They all say the only one that is able and capable to be sheriff is Rambosk.

VOTE RAMBOSK!!!!

Muthanature, you're going to work on Saturday night? What are you doing this late, are you walking up and down old US41 trying to make a busk or two?????????????????????

momforjustice...are U weed smoking while posting again?

STOP THE STUPID QUESTIONS...these types of questions R 2 stupid for even Beetle to waste brain cells with.

mothernature...Ortino's adult daughter had sticky fingers while working at Target.

She stole more than a few things, 2.

More than $1,000 in goods if I recall correctly.

Then his wifey pleeded and posted to forgive her daughter's DUMB actions.

Why Ortie is running with his frantic family life is completely shocking 2 Beetle.

http://www.electortino.com/Open_Lette...

Sorry, but our crime rates have dropped the past few years and that is enough for me to vote for the person who has inside experience with how CCSO works already....RAMBOSK!! Ortino will just mess everything up and MARK MY WORDS crime rates will spike! Ortino also has sticky fingers if you want to get technical, he was making money that he wasn't working for and only got his job back as a state trooper b/c others had done it also, yeah that's who I want to lead our county as Sheriff. Oh and Vinny give me a break he doesn't even qualify at all he just wants his 15 minutes of fame LOL!!!!

This guy obviously does nothing but spend all day blogging on every article in the newspaper and 90% of what he has to say are inflammatory and insulting remarks (1236 comments posted) attacking every person that any article is about. There are 124(!) pages of comments that this nut has made. Why would anyone even bother reading his drivel about any subject, not just the election?

I was under the impression that it is against federal law to electioneer at polling places.
Has the Bush Thing trashed that law too or is the Rambosk campaign comitting another violation of the law?
Perhaps ala his previous violation, he "doesn't agree with the law"?

Mothernature, You continue to bash honorable deputies with innuendos about some fictional Canadian Border incident, some deputy who went through a divorce, etc... You never provide any names or proof. Is this because you know you will be liable for slander because your relentless allegations are baseless. Do you think people will vote for a guy whose wife(Mothernature) continually trashes the reputation of the people that her husband wants to lead.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but Kevin Rambosk has maintained his honor throughout this election. He has not allowed you and your campaign to drag him into the mud where you are so comfortable wallowing.

Kevin Rambosk has a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, a certificate from the FBI National Academy, and 30 plus years of actual experience in law enforcement. His opponent has lied about his experience, his opponent has lied in his campaign platform, and in his forum statements. For the truth about the candidates go to WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4INTEGRITY.ORG or WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4TRUTH.ORG to see the actual public records. There is no conjecture, just the facts from the public record.

I think Beetlejuice is a woman.

greathornedlizard, I think you have to be outside of the property boundaries.

Go to WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4TRUTH.ORG or WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4INTEGRITY.ORG for the facts on the Sheriff's candidates. The information is taken from the public record. You can see the ACTUAL PUBLIC RECORD DOCUMENTS on the web site.

W-Coyote,

“What I did was childish, sophomoric, amateur, and failed miserably to adhere to the standards of this agency or to professional management and leadership as a whole,” Lauer wrote in a letter."

Will this former sergeant who was busted in rank for cause and has been campaigning and blogging for Ortino, be re-promoted if Ortino is elected?

What say you?

Re: Campaigning near and far.

Thank you, Jeff and NDN for some wise comments.

From Jeff Lytle's column today:

"All the chest-thumping and name-calling on the Web in local races, especially for Collier County sheriff, is such a waste.

It is for the enjoyment and consumption of the participants. No serious voter is going to consult that food fight for input on thoughtful decision-making."

Good luck, Sheriff Rambosk.

I personally enjoy your enthusiastic supporters. I honked at them every day on my ride home. What a fine group! You should be proud.

#28 yes said Lt. has many open PRB files they won't close before the election cause it's not good press. I'm sure he'll be cleared after the election of all wrong doing since he's protected by someone high up. He did go to the call where his wife was picked up for shoplifting & made sure she wasn't charged.

As for the undersheriff's son the paper was filed with the court on Friday & the CCSO wants the story killed, at least till after Tuesday.

There is so much more if the public only knew. What about another Lt. with an open file cause he was caught having sex while on duty at headquarters with a dispatcher. Why hasn't that one closed? Too embarrasing for the ex-undersheriff? He is knee deep in these & even the Current under-sheriff's son coverup. We don't need someone like him in office. VOTE ORTINO.

In some elections, you chose the "least bad" candidate. In this election we are fortunate to have one really good candidate, Kevin Rambosk. I hope he wins with a lot more than 62% of the vote. If people knew both candidates, Rambosk would win by a huge landslide.

Ortino supporters are fountains of toxic waste and I am sick of their mud slinging. As we've noted before, though, that's all they have, since their candidate has no qualifications of his own. It will be great when Wednesday rolls around, Rambosk wins, and the Ortino supporters, all 50 of them in Collier County, can go out and get a life.

As an Ortino supporter, not surprisingly, I see it a bit different. We believe the CCSO Senior staff is ethically challenged. We also believe they spend a huge amount of time and effort in covering up their ethical lapses. Now the problem, most citizens don't know this and we need to get the word out. We are limited in this endeavor because the NDN either doesn't really take this seriously, or are so smitten by their candidate they wish to over look it.

We are not spewing toxic waste. We are not passing on falsehoods, we are doing our best to be factual and give people and the NDN information of the command staff failings, with the former under sheriff at the top of the list.

Should we fail, Collier County will suffer another four years, after enduring the past twenty years of failed leadership and ethics. The citizens deserve better.

Now for all you concerned voters who aren't decided, just think of this....what if we are partially right (and we're much more than that) how can you support the existing twenty year mess.

We strongly encourage you to vote for change. Vote Ortino.

No one is reading this nonsense to make up their minds, that's for certain.

Thank you, Jeff Lytle.

(Oh, and congrats Sheriff Rambosk!)

Why are you thanking a NDN staffer?

Toesmom is Tony Lauer's wife. If you remember, Lauer is the Sergeant that was demoted to Corporal because he did NO work for three months, and he openly encouraged his subordinates to do no work. He led this open insurrection because he didn't get a desired transfer to a cushy job at the gun range.

Mothernature is Sarah Matheson who is the front person for the ORTINO SMEAR MACHINE. She pulls all kinds of public records on deputies' divorces, etc...and blogs about their personal lives that have nothing to do with their job or the election. She is careful not to use names because she knows that her diatribe is largely misleading and can lead to libel for slander.

Get out of the mud and run an honest campaign without lying about the facts.

Who cares "who is who". Bottom line the ccso consitently lies and does not police their own. Countless documents have shown this. Why not print all prb files that have been opened this year?

Because Monk, they don't want to? You want the numbers from the last few years, here....(These are the years that the ex undersheriff was employed by CCSO until he was forced to resign because of federal law violations).
Opened PRBs per year

2003 243
2004 316
2005 283
2006 288
2007 283

Sustained PRBs

2003 38
2004 44
2005 44
2006 difficult to read number but believe to be 35
2007 28. And seven still active.

For 2008, at least three are still active, but the CCSO won't release the numbers even though they must under the state's open records act. You wouldn't believe what I've gone through just to get some records. Even Charlie Crist has been notified his good friend Don Hunter's office won't give up public records. I bet Charlie is ticked because of the vice presidential thing and Hunter's office is going against Charlie's pet project, the Office of Open Government....

As for who I am, I am not the front person. That's just so funny...

It is time to CLEAN UP GOVERNMENT get rid of all the incumbents this is especially true of Rambosk. Who along with Hunter endorsed the gang Vinny elided to. The Ivory Tower GANG “THE TRIBE” with their TATTOOS and Kool-Aid-Drinking members. Rambosk’s coverup, of the three guys the sheriffs used as fall guys to coverup Jeff Storrar’s involvement in the beating of an individual.

How many innocent people has the sheriffs department railroaded to jail??

I don't know about mothernature being the Sara person. Because of her apparent closeness to the campaign, her knowledge of personal family issues, and the venom that she constantly spews; I think mothernature is Ginny Ortino.

Mother, your total number of people voluntarily leaving the CCSO is 109, that's different than the 138 that Victor quoted in the paper. If you use your 109 number the turnover for CCSO would be 7.9 percent.

If you include those you say the CCSO fired for misconduct(looks like CCSO is holding members accountable)9, the total leaving the agency is 118; still below the 138 that Victor quoted in the paper. Regardless, with your total number the turnover rate would be 8.6 percent.

Using your numbers, the turnover rates of 7.9 % and 8.6 % are both below Victor's erroneous assertion that more than ten percent leave the agency voluntarily. Who is right you or Victor? I don't believe either of you are right. While your stated 7.9 percent turnover rate is much lower than the national average, it is still higher than the CCSO's.

Mother, or Ginny, or Sara, Your facts are wrong and your candidate's facts are wrong.

For the sakes of your reputations in Naples, please run a more honest and honorable campaign.

Thank you Kevin Rambosk for staying above the fray.

http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2007/a...

This is the Hunter/ Rambosk Office working at its finest! PLEASE VOTE TO KEEP RAMBOSK OUT OF OFFICE... THIS COULD BE YOU...

I can cut and paste too Lucky.

Lucky,
My numbers came from Collier County Sheriff's Office Public Information Office. The information was requested Friday,July 25, at 1:20 p.m. from e-mail address tryingtofindlove@gmail.com
You can ask the PIO for the e-mail to verify the information. The information was picked up in person at, according to the receipt which is also public record, at 8:33:34 a.m. August 7. The receipt was issued by Operator No. 03126. I am not Ginny Ortino. And, Lucky, did you stop to think that maybe I pick up the phone and ask questions of Victor Ortino and that's how I get my information. He has said he will speak with whomever wants the questions answered. Don't you think that maybe he gives the answers to whomever calls? By the way, the numbers do not include retirements and don't forget to add in the number fired. So, it's possible that Mr. Ortino's numbers are correct. Maybe the CCSO PIO is sending out different sets of numbers. That's a possibility. I don't know if Mr. Ortino's number include retirements and firings. So sorry to burst your bubble. The numbers, unless CCSO gave out the wrong ones, are very traceable. I've given you all the information you need to verify. Heck, send me an e-mail address and I'll forward the PDF files to you. tryingtofindlove@gmail.com

Wow Disney, did anyone else read the comments posted below the article Disney pointed out? Seems like the bloggers were knowing the truth about the CCSO way back then before Ortino even announced he was running. Those comments are something else. Reading those comments make me know for sure that the current regime has to go. No one can say those folks were against the other guy, you know, the one who had to resign because of federal law violations? Vote Victor Ortino for sheriff.

No one cares. No one is listening to this babble and made up information from this very sad, misguided soul.

Thanks for running for Sheriff, Kevin Rambosk. You'll be a great Sheriff.

Hey annoy, don't want the facts eh? Maybe you'll get them anyhow..Keep an eye out for them. Wouldn't want you caught off guard.

A little more abuse from the Rambosk/ Hunter..Office.. want this to happen to your family

Family arrested, cleared in noise complaint accuses Collier deputy of abuse http://www.naples-daily-news.com/news...

Students at Naples High School are outraged after a classmate was tasered by a sheriff's deputy right in front of them. Now, the students want the Collier County Sheriff's Office held accountable. But deputies say the taser was justified.

http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readart...

My vote will NOT go to a candidate who supports illegal red light cameras

Zientek says the use of the Taser was a "Normal" use of force? Ummm, that scares me that Taser use is considered "normal" within the CCSO.

Too bad people didn't listen into the Latino Officers Association Radio show. Even though they were having technical difficulties, they did say there was controversy about the former undersheriff. And they also said a Latino had applied for a job at a "Southwest" Florida law enforcement agency and something derogatory was said and there's a recording of it. That will air in the middle of September, they said...I wonder what's up now?

Go Disney!

The former undersheriff lied when he was interviewed by the NDN. Apparently he did not think that the complaint of sexual harrasment by Chris Freeman needed more severe action, which violates CCSO policy.
Attached is a copy of the FDLE Investigative Report. Also copies of Freeman's retirement letter initialed by Hunter, Rambosk (ID # 452, and several other members of the chain of command approving the short-fused retirement are attached. Additionally, Hunter's inter-office memo providing glowing tribute to Freeman on his departure is provided, along with a news statement regarding Freeman made by the CCSO on June 6, 2008.
Remember, Rambosk stated in a July 28 NDN article on the FDLE Investigative Report http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/j... , that "By that time I was no longer in the chain of command or the undersheriff, and had nothing to do with the investigation of the Freeman case," Rambosk said.
All documents preceded the request for FDLE investigation, and occured well after Freeman's lightening quick retirement on May 23, 2008 following allegations by the subordinate. I assume the actions taken by the CCSO administration were contrary to their own Sexual Harrassment policy requiring investigation of any CCSO member accused of improper conduct or sexual harrassment.

It's scary that the Ortino supporters have some contempt for law enforcement. You keep posting the few incidents of misdeeds. The CCSO's incidence of misconduct is commensurate with the national average, around 2 percent. If you focus on the negative, all you will see is the negative. How about the hundreds of deputies who serve honorably. Mothernature, you and your ORTINO SMEAR MACHINE really are disgusting.

KEVIN RAMBOSK IS THE ONLY HONORABLE CHOICE FOR SHERIFF.

go to WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4TRUTH.ORG to see the truth about Ortino's firing from FHP, his lack of judgement and ethics.

State report faults Collier deputy in boy’s beating in Juvenile Center
http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/j...

Jama, (Jake)
You didn't respond to my e-mail What's wrong? Also, you should have listened to the Latino Officer's Association radio show. Even though they had technical difficulties and have to reschedule the show, they had some very interesting things to say when they were on the air. And, Jake, you are doing a pretty good smear job with that Political Action Committee Web site you have that is allegedly illegal since you didn't register a Pac with the state. Ortino's supporters have always maintained there are a bunch of great staffers and deputies at CCSO. You are just concerned about all of your PRBs coming to light. Remember that one year probation and final warning? Also, you've never answered me, why haven't you posted the information that the ex undersheriff's resume cannot be verified? Like those 10 years he spent in N.J. as an explorer or whatever? He would have been 12 when he started. I don't know of any agency which allows 12 year olds to help out. In fact, I think OHSA disallows it. Also, why did it take the ex undersheriff what was it six or eight years to complete his degree? How did he attend college in N.J. when he was living down here? That was before distance learning. I wonder how much time he took of from work to go to N.J. to complete his degree, or did he go up there?

Edison is the cousin of a former sheriff's deputy, Glendell Edison, who
was convicted of federal drug dealing and extortion charges in January.

Prosecutors contend that Glendell Edison ordered the murder of a man in a
dispute over a woman, but there was not enough evidence to arrest him.http://www.oranous.com/florida/Da...
Glendell was a friend of Hunters also ... They had breakfast together often .....

Mothernature-sarah matheson, please tell me you are smarter than you appear in your writings. If you truly believed something was unlawful about the web site WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4TRUTH.ORG, you would have filed an official complaint, which I encourage. You will be proven wrong, yet again. Kevin Rambosk's bio was thoroughly checked against the public record and found to be completely accurate. He said that he did volunteer work. He never said he was an explorer. The public record check confirmed that Kevin Rambosk started his law enforcement career in 1978 and rose through the ranks to Chief of Police, and ultimately, City Manager. He earned his bachelor's degree and master's degree along the way. The degrees are posted on the the web site and the web site staff has the the transcripts to prove the degrees were earned. Relating to your black face allegation, the public records clearly show that Kevin Rambosk was the Captain of Patrol at the time and had no connection to the Investigations Division that conducted the operation. Nice try, but again the facts prove you wrong.
As far as the PRB's go, no one is concerned about them coming out. Most people just find it distasteful that you continue to berate honorable servants who are not running for election but may have made a mistake at some point in their careers. Additionally, most of the conjecture that you spout as allegations of misconduct; such as the poor deputy who went though a divorce when his wife left him(just like when Ortino left his wife and kids to be with Ginny). You spout angry diatribe about this deputy, but you obviously don't know the facts of his case. The only thing he was guilty of was having a wife that left him for another man. Just like when Ortino cheated on his wife with Ginny.
Your vague statements that are intended to paint particular people in a bad light just shows you lack of character and responsibility.
In contrast, the web site WWW.COLLIERCITIZENS4TRUTH.ORG simply fact checked the candidates bio, platforms, and claims against the public record.

Deputy disciplined for Taser use at party
http://www.infowars.com/articles/ps/t...

I could go on forever people and post thousands of stories. These stories tell of Hunter's years in Office. If we vote in the ex undersheriff. It will be the same crap. You know you are going to have bad cops in every office... but do you want your sheriff to cover up for them....or say its ok to taze a child that didnt want to go to the office. WAKE UP ! THIS IS OUR TIME TO STOP THE ABUSE OF POWER!

Oh Jama, your true colors are coming out. first off, Ortino's own ex-wife said he and Ginny were not an item at the time of the separation. Secondly, seems you are bent on bringing up cheating women. Have you read the protective order against the deputy? He even had to give up his guns. have you read the court filing where his ex wants to move back to Florida and he doesn't want her to? What about seeing his kids? don't you think that would be better have daddy closer to them? I know dang well you couldn't have gotten the records of the ex undersheriff's volunteer time while in N.J. because they were LOST in a flood. So much for you checking the facts. And, I know a complaint WAS filed against you for having a Pac saying it is a 501(c)4. That is for educational purposes, not a Pac. I really struck a nerve now didn't I? You must be scared to attack me personally. I do have the documents. Just wait, they are coming. Anyone who would like to have them, please e-mail me at tryingtofindlove@gmail.com. I'll copy you on them. Also, your letter to the state FOP doesn't mean anything. They too are getting all the documentation. So Jake, you've been in trouble at least once for conduct unbecoming. I wonder if a new PRB may have been opened on your behavior?

Disney, please keep it up. I enjoy reading those cases....

I repeat my previous comment...
I'm sorry Jama but I have to jump in here. You are the sleaziest person I have ever run in to at the CCSO. I thought the fact Ryan Mills gave you the ink he did validates he is in bed with you and your ethically challenged candidate who can't seem to obey the law. Your constant personal attacks are exactly why change is needed at the CCSO

This is hillariouly amusing. Don't you just love Toesmom? He/She has JAMA's number big time. Jama seems to have nothing but personal attacks, inuendo, hysteria and obvious panic. Toesmom, and Mothernature, Disney, longtimecitizen and some others (yours truly) have facts; facts presented in reasoned, logical and civilized fashion; facts that can be backed up with hard proof.

Ortino for sheriff. Get rid of the incumbents and the entrenched regimie of the former deputy who was forced to resign to avoid prosecution for willful violations of the Hatch Act.

you will be enlightened.

Ortino for sheriff.

Anyone who reads the newspaper article where Jake is talking about his web site knows it's a hatchet job. I've talked to a few people today that aren't really involved in the election they are just voters & they said they wouldn't believe a web site that is started by a CCSO deputy who says he's a Rambosk supporter. Right there tells them it's one sided. People are smart they aren't as stupid as Jake thinks they are.

Jake why are you talking cheating? The CCSO is full of philanderers from jail techs right up to the top ranks & everything in between including training officers who cheated on their wives with recruits. Some morale integrity is just one positive change Ortino will bring to the agency.

People are stunned at what came out Friday at the courthouse, letter about Storrar. I've passed it on to 100's of people over the weekend & I guarantee they've passed it on. Many said they will be sure to tell their family & all their co-workers & take it with them to show them all. Guess it doesn't matter that the CCSO made sure the NDN didn't print it cause it's out there anyway.

Is it true that JAMA is a deputy? A real deputy, not just some wanna be? If its true he should be ashamed of himself for his conduct and his postings. A good example of why we need to elect ORTINO for sheriff.

Perhaps JAMA was not aware of the article that appeared in the Times News Service on October 8, 1990: Nation News in Brief:
'BLACKFACE GETS EGG ON THE FACE' A Naples, FL. police drug sting operation, dubbed "Operation Al Jolson" because white detectives wore blackface makeup, in the mostly black neighborhood of River Park, was branded racist by black community leaders. "Because the sales are made predominately by blacks", reasoned Police Capt. Kevin Rambosk. The department has 1 black on a force of about 75 officers.'
Is there any reason to think that his attitude has changed? I believe this sort of thing is called racial profiling. 'Operation Al Jolson' was so offensive, it made the national news service. I'm surprised the author was not aware of this. Anyone who has lived in Naples for a while knows about it.

I just talked to a really good friend who works in the school & a deputy's wife use to work there until she got laid off & the deputy's wife actually told her they can't be friends cause she has an Ortino sticker on her car. My friend said she doesn't need those kinds of friends. This is the mentality of the ex undersheriff's supporters.

Is it Wednesday yet???? I don't think I could take 3 more months on the playground with all these chest beaters! I am honestly to the point that I where I think there is only one man that can straighten out the sheriffs dept. and bring back honesty, and integrity to the S.O.

If you take all the key points from all the blogs the past months, and write everything down on a piece of paper, it would make you wonder why any of us stay in this county! Even if only 25% of the things said here are true, listening to all sides, the one thing that the voters should have learned is that we sure have one screwed up sheriffs department and none of the current people running are going to have, or do what it will take to straighten it out!

Kevin, is just gonna be more of the same and continue to cover things up and selectively acknowledge problems. Victor, seems to have brought a lot of things to light that need attention, but he is going to have a very tough battle on his hands because of all the entrenched attitudes and resistance he will be met with.... and Vinny, well Vinny makes a lot of valid points and then steps right in big pile of it losing all serious credibility. Unfortunately he is going to take away just enough votes from Victor that Kevin will probably end up winning.

So where does that leave us? Well basically right where we were before all this started. You will continue to see bought and paid for information provided by Brigid to all the media. Coverups, and options to retire with benefits rather than face investigations, and of course civilians that are more afraid of the deputies than they are interested in helping them.... and last but not least we will never see the truth printed in the Naples Daily News due to it's relationship with the S.O. and insiders on both payrolls.

If the school system is allowed to look outside of Collier County for a superintendant, then maybe we should be doing the same thing for a sheriff.

In 2012, we need to bring in a candidate from outside of the area, someone that has been tried, and proven to be effective. Someone that will deal with crime and illegals, right here in our county, and not shove the problem off on our neighboring counties, or saying there is nothing we can do so let them deal with it. Maybe Officer Widman would still be alive if the CCSO had a true working relationship with our adjoining law enforcement agencies....unfortunately, we'll never know if everything was done that could have been done before CCSO's crack ICE team let a wanted criminal return to the streets.

Regardless, true to Kevins word, criminals WILL BE run out of our county! It's gonna be a long 4 years.

Can anyone say Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio for Collier County Sheriff in 2012????

You have many valid points no_one_wins. However if we re-elect the incumbent; (which for all intents & purposes the former undersheriff really represents, in spite of the fact that he had to step down due to Hatch Act violations) the same well-greased, old entrenched political machine will continue to rumble on. So the question seems to be same old, same old or try a new approach? Nevertheless, I think the majority of us, no matter which side of the fence we sit on, will be relieved when it's over, (and probably the candidates & their families also). Have a good evening.

Rambosk is gonna win!

Rambosk is gonna win!

Go Rambosk!

Yes, I will be relieved to see RAMBOSK win this race!

Speaking with Victor, I think he would disagree with his supporters on this blog. He speaks highly (privately) of Rambosk.

FYI, Hunter is the incumbant.

Lastly, after the straw poll in Golden Gate Ortino and his group went to Perkins on Pine Ridge for a bite. Proving you should really look around before you speak freely, Victor was having a conversation with fired pornographer Dave Rich. The conversation resulted in the discussion of the last minute "silver bullet" in the election to discredit the Rambosk campaign. I assume the fabricated story that mother and toes are speaking of must be that fabricated story. Be careful for the story you pass on may come back to you. Contributor to contributor to Victor.

Victor's negative campaigning will haunt him no matter the "victor".

Rambosk for Sheriff!

24 more hours of mind-numbing posts.

I thought one of you was "getting ready for work"....since posts were made throughout the night, this means either you called in sick or are using the internet at work for personal issues.

After the votes are counted, I predict 48 hours worth of "the results were rigged" posts, more mind-numbing mud slinging and requests for recounts because, if the candidates are anything like the people blogging here, they have too much hot air, too much time on their hands and not enough sense to know when to shut up.

Vote for your favorite candidate and wait to see who the majority wants in office. Everything here has been posted time after time after time after time. Enough already!

Tomorrow can not come soon enough!

After the dust has settled and the elephant poop has been cleaned up, we will have a new Sheriff elect on Wed morning, it will be the man with the experience, it will not be the man who's past experience cannot be verified, it will not be the man with the past experience he does not want us to know about.

Hey Vetres, they knew you were there....And, for your information, I don't recall hearing anything about a silver bullet or fabricated anything...My oh my, you must be worried to spread that rumor that you made up....

I was at that dinner and there was no mention of any "Silver Bullet" or Fabricated Story. As a matter of fact we saw the cars in the parking lot with he Rambosk stickers on our way in.

Hey all, read this article out of the News Press. Sheriff Scott doesn't mess around. Only a little more than a month to complete an IA and the deputies reported the other deputy for the false arrest. I wonder how long this same investigation would take elsewhere and for the information to be hidden, I mean, given out freely to the media?

If Vinnie wins this....the cow will jump over the moon, the dish will run FAR away with the spoon...and ELEPHANTS will FLY.

Rambosk has this race in the bag!

Disney that was FUNNY! I need my gadget, and if I'm in uniform who cares, I'll cut in line and get it.

People don't realize the kind of behavior they exhibit with their name badges and uniforms of companies and public sector government entities.

he made a very bad call there.

BUT RAMBOSK will still win anyway because the gadget guy really has nothing to do with the campaign when all is said and done.
