Steve Madison of the infamous PMZ (Petrulakis, Madison, and Zagaris), the cabal which has ruled Modesto politics for many years, sang his song of intrigue and deceit to Modesto today in the McClatchy Bee.
He wrongfully blames Ron Freitas for the nine cities wanting to explore a more advantageous tax sharing plan with the county.
Ron, a former County, StanCog and LAFCo planner, was someone the cabal believed they could control.
But much to their chagrin, Mr. Freitas, after retiring, became his own man.
A free spirit so to speak. Someone who has seen the political games from the inside and now refuses to play their game of manipulation and deceit.
Ron Fritas is standing up for every citizen of the county and some just plain don't like it.
