Appointed Sheriff DiBasilio begins his campaigning
Today is the first of the newly appointed Calaveras County Sheriff Di Basilio to begin his campaign for election of 2018, which isn't far off.
He calls it meeting the public, but we know that he needs to campaign early and often to keep this cushy job he got a political appointment for. Already, he had shown to have NO Transparency and No response to victims needs. And his extreme ties (we hear they drink together) with Supervisor Oliveira (who is hanging on by the skin of his teeth), is absolutely SCARY!!
