Too Fun!: The SLO County District Attorney's Office Has a "Public Integrity Unit"
[Note: Eric Dobroth is a Deputy District Attorney for the SLO County DA's office.]
Hello Mr. Dobroth,
I noticed on the SLO County DA's web site, at this link:
... that your office includes a "Public Integrity Unit,"
that will "aggressively and proactively seek out public
corruption at all levels of government," however, what I didn't
see on that page was contact information for the PIU, so, I was hoping
I could email the following information to you, and then, if you would
be so kind, you forward the information to the PIU to
"aggressively" review.
I also wanted to quickly let you know that I published this
entire email on my blog, at this link:
Thank you,
Ron

Hello SLO County District Attorney's Public Integrity Unit,
I recently read on the SLO DA Public Integrity Unit's web page
that "all matters referred to the Public Integrity Unit for
consideration will be thoroughly and fairly reviewed."
I'm requesting that the PIU "consider" the following
"matter."
This case involves the SLO County District Attorney, Dan Dow, and
how it appears that he accepted fraud money to initially get elected
in 2014.
Here are the details:
I'd like to start with this graphic:
... from the SLO County campaign finance web site, that shows how
Dan Dow, in 2014, received $200 in campaign funds from a Los Osos
couple, Gary Karner and Pandora Nash-Karner.
Now, as I've been reporting for over a decade, the Karners
committed massive fraud in Los Osos, starting in 1997, when they
"developed" a known-to-them-to-be-dead-on-arrival sewer
system for Los Osos (now, I realize that sounds unbelievable -- that
an ordinary married couple, he a landscaper, she a graphics-type
person, would develop, in their living room, a sewer system for their
community -- but that's exactly what happened, for reasons that are
about to become crystal clear.)
I'm not going to reset their entire fraud (I've done it many
times already, and I'll provide the links below), but, for the main
question of this inquiry -- "Did Dan Dow accept fraud money from
the Karners in 2014?" -- the PIU will need to get your heads
wrapped around obvious fraud things like Gary Karner's SWA Group connection ("He specialized
in project management and risk management with SWA for 27 years and is
currently retained by SWA to consult on risk management," yet he
failed to disclose that crucial fact when he wrote in 1997, "We
recommend (these) firms be retained for professional design services
when this Plan is accepted," and one of those firms
"recommended" by Karner to be "retained for
professional design services" "when" his (and his
wife's) fake project was "accepted," was the SWA Group,
which is exactly what happened), and Pandora Nash-Karner's fraudulent "Summer 2000,"
newsletter, that she produced when she was an elected Los Osos CSD
Director, and, very importantly, what I call "The Karner
Confession," where they actually confess to knowing that their fake project was
"blown out of the water" in early 1998, yet they spent that
entire year heavily marketing their fake project, then used it to form
the Los Osos CSD, where Nash-Karner was elected as a CSD Director, and
then she immediately used public money to hire her husband's firm as a
contractor to "develop" their
known-to-the-Karners-to-be-fake project, and, after thousands and
thousands (millions?) of public dollars was completely wasted on their
fake plan, it never even came close to working, of course, but not
until Gary Karner's firm made a ton of money off of their scam.
So, in a nutshell that's the Karners' obvious fraud. It's open
and shut. To be clear, there's no question about whether the Karners
committed fraud. They did, and it started as early as 1997.
But, again, the question in this matter isn't really about the
Karners' documented fraud, it's: "Did Dan Dow KNOWINGLY accept
fraud money from the Karners in 2014?"
Now, I'd like to point out another key piece of evidence here.
It's a March 11, 2014 Facebook post from Dan Dow, where he
writes:
"Enjoyed a wonderful evening in a Los Osos home (Thank you
Pandora Nash-Karner) making many new friends and discussing my vision
for the future of our District Attorney's office. Received many new
endorsements!"
So, here's Dan Dow, in 2014, at the home of known fraudsters, and
then he ends up collecting $200 (at least!) from those known
fraudsters, some five years AFTER the Karners' fraud was
exposed.
So, again, in 2014, how did Dan Dow NOT accept fraud money from
the Karners to help him get elected? I mean, there's really no other
answer. He did. Which means the only other question becomes, was he
aware of the Karners' fraud when he went to their house for
"endorsements?" I argue he SHOULD have. A simple Google
search of "Pandora Nash-Karner" is all he had to do BEFORE
he went to the Karners' home that night, and he could have read up on
stories like at this link:
... from 2009, where I first exposed the Karners' SWA Group
scam.
Or, this link:
... from 2011, where I exposed "The Karner Confession,"
where they actually confess to knowing, one month after rolling out
their fake project, that their fake project was "blown out of the
water," and, therefore it was nothing more than a vehicle for
them to make money, which is exactly what happened.
Then, there are my emails to Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham, at
this link:
... and this link:
... where I show, among many other things, the massive fraud
Pandora Nash-Karner committed with her "Summer 2000"
newsletter from her Los Osos CSD.
[By the way, I confirmed with Assemblyman Cunningham's staff that
he received those emails, but he never did anything about it, despite
the fact that, as I show in those emails, the Karners' fraud not only
has about 4,000 property owners in Los Osos funding the Karners' fraud
until the year 2034, but the San Luis Coastal Unified School District
will ALSO continue to be fleeced by the Karners' fraud until 2034, to
the tune of about $400,000, but Assemblyman Cunningham, surprisingly,
simply doesn't care. So strange for an elected official whose District
includes all of the Karners' victims.
Maybe the PIU could look into that, as well: Why doesn't
Assemblyman Cunningham care that thousands his constituents are
victims of a massive fraud, and they will continue to be fleeced by
that fraud until 2034, yet he just doesn't care? Why doesn't he
care?... would be an interesting question for the PIU.]
So, that's the "matter" I would like the PIU to
"aggressively seek out": Did SLO County District Attorney,
Dan Dow, KNOWINGLY accept the Karners' fraud money, or, was he unaware
of the Karners' disgusting (I will add) fraud when he accepted their
fraud money?
If you have any questions, please just ask.
Thank you,
Ron
P.S. If you go to "Dan Dow 2022" "endorsement"
page, at this link:
... and scroll down to the "Community Leaders" section,
you'll see that the first person listed is, "Pandora Nash-Karner,
SLO County Park Commission, Chair." So, I'm left assuming that he
is STILL accepting the Karners' fraud money for his campaigns.
Yes?
P.P.S.:
