Sheriff Gary Penrod signed the Form 700’s Economic Interest Statement under the penalty of perjury as required under Government Code § 81004.

81004. (a) All reports and statements filed under this title shall be signed under penalty of perjury and verified by the filer. The verification shall state that the filer has used all reasonable diligence in its preparation, and that to the best of his knowledge it is true and complete.

(b) A report or statement filed by a committee which qualifies under subdivision (a) of Section 82013 shall be signed and verified by the treasurer, and a report or statement filed by any other person shall be signed and verified by the filer. If the filer is an entity other than an individual, the report or statement shall be signed and verified by a responsible officer of the entity or by an attorney or a certified public accountant acting as agent for the entity. Every person who signs and verifies any report or statement required to be filed under this title which contains material matter which he knows to be false is guilty of perjury.

The lack of truthful disclosure on his Form 700’s Economic Interest Statement by Sheriff Gary Penrod defeats the purposes of Government Code § 81002.

The assets and income belonging to The Counseling Team International may be materially affected by the position that Sheriff Gary Penrod holds in the County of San Bernardino. The Counseling Team International has been awarded several contracts from the County of San Bernardino. The fact that Sheriff Gary Penrod failed to disclose his wife’s ownership of The Counseling Team International is a glaring potential conflict of interest.

81002. The people enact this title to accomplish the following purposes:

(a) Receipts and expenditures in election campaigns should be fully and truthfully disclosed in order that the voters may be fully informed and improper practices may be inhibited.

(b) The activities of lobbyists should be regulated and their finances disclosed in order that improper influences will not be directed at public officials.

(c) Assets and income of public officials which may be materially affected by their official actions should be disclosed and in appropriate circumstances the officials should be disqualified from acting in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided.

(d) The state ballot pamphlet should be converted into a useful document so that voters will not be entirely dependent on paid advertising for information regarding state measures.

(e) Laws and practices unfairly favoring incumbents should be abolished in order that elections may be conducted more fairly.

(f) Adequate enforcement mechanisms should be provided to public officials and private citizens in order that this title will be vigorously enforced.

Please accept this letter as our formal complaint and request for an investigation into these very serious breaches of the law.

Sincerely,

Gail C. Fry
