Who is "Mr. Big Pot"??Assault? Preston, Oliveira, Strohmeyer ties??

    Bill McManus, who has run for Supervisor is District 3 without success and was one of the main campaigners for Michael Oliveira, has been making a lot of noise lately. He now claims he's been assaulted!


   Mr. Oliveira claims McManus built his deck for him at his Arnold house (with permits?). Most only know McManus as "Mr. Big Pot"
 for his mouthy opposition to marijuana for medical use of any kind.

    He is also known as best friends with a man who ran his supposed campaign for Supervisor, Michael Preston.  Preston is infamous for his racism and violent comments to many who have reported them to us.

   In fact, Preston was noted after that campaign about money spent and why everyone deserted the campaign. McManus called the Sierra Sentinel and defended his best friend, but never provided us with any proof of votes or accounting of the money.

   Women were personally insulted by Preston and bad decisions were made, as they were in the Oliveira campaign, to abuse women and Oliveira approved apparently all of them.

   Why Mr. "Big Pot" McManus is railing against marijuana, has been questioned by many, but everyone we've spoken with say his drug of choice is "BOOZE".  He spends a lot of time with Oliveira and Preston. What they do together is anyone's guess.

   If you recall Pat and Karen Strohmeyer were also part of the Oliveira harassment at our HOME (all well documented, with photos).

     Strohmeyer is the CHP who was fired after being turned in by a female officer in Stockton for beating a young Hispanic man in handcuffs and then writing a false report.

We are well aware of Mr. Strohmeyers racist and anti-women comments. To tell you the truth, sadly, they all disgust us! Is this what Calaveras County has become???

   You may also recall that it is McManus who was accused of violence against a girlfriend or wife a few years ago, forcing her to run to Women's Crisis for help.  So who is actually violent here is still in question in our minds.

   After reading Baptista's article, it sounds like he hates all business people (jealousy is a horrible sin) and tries to find ways to sue people who own them.  How badly does he need money?  Sounds like he's claiming "serious injury" from the handshake and pat on the back? hmmmm
