VOICE OF THE PEOPLE: Kafkaesque reasoning

Columnist Arturo Bojorquez opines that democracy is badly served (IV Press, July 2) by the IVC and Imperial County Office of Education (ICOE) trustees’ votes to not hold special elections for the court-ordered vacated seats unlawfully hogged by the incarcerated Annette Gonzalez-Buttner. Conceding the IVC board “is completely in accordance with the law” regarding their latitude to fill a vacated trustee seat, Bojorquez wants them “to think twice before” they follow the path of democracy he abhors: IVC trustees mirroring the ICOE trustees’ vote to select a business owner with experience in making payroll and serving on a city planning commission.

Gonzalez-Buttner found guilty on all counts

BRAWLEY — A Superior Court jury on Friday found Imperial County Office of Education Trustee Annette Gonzalez-Buttner guilty on all four felony counts she faced. She has been convicted of two counts of perjury, one count of grand theft and a violation of state election law, all tied to a false declaration of residency in 2017 when she was filing her candidacy on the ICOE board. Sentencing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. May 27 at the Brawley Superior courthouse. The verdict was announced Friday morning after almost two days of jury deliberation. The jury agreed Gonzalez-Buttner was actually living in Santa Clara when she filed her 2017 candidate paperwork, but listed her domicile as her father’s home in Calexico (an apartment at the Calexico Gardens Apartments on Rockwood Avenue).
