by Richard David Boyle California voters won a historic victory by defeating an attempt by state legislators to keep their gerrymandered congressional and state legislative districts by passing Proposition 20 and defeating Proposition 27. However a record $4 billion was spent in national elections and a casino boss, seeking to keep contro ofl the San Bernardino Community College District, won with a war chest of $400,000. Also the county ballot scanning system was controlled by a foreign company that refuses to say who really owns it. “We will take evidence of election fraud to the new state Attorney General,” said...

The education foundation, Teachers for a Change, will on Thursday ask students at San Bernardino Valley College to take part in a collection of books for the Indian tribe at Duroville, the Purepecha, which are enduring severe hardships such as lack of running water, raw sewage in the streets and extreme poverty. “Society has turned its back on the poorest of its citizens,” said Richard David Boyle, President of Teachers for a Change. “I am willing to donate a part of my book collection to children who have no library or in some cases even any...
$332,000 Consultation Fee Debated By Candidates by Richard David Boyle Crafton Hills College’s spending of $332,000 for a part time outside consultant to try remove the probation rating and prevent actual loss of accreditation was debated by two candidates in the Press Enterprise. Board Trustee candidate Richard David Boyle attacked the waste of taxpayer money to hire Matthew Lee, a free lance writer and friend of college president Gloria Harrison, while ten classes were shut down and hundreds of students turned away. ‘This is worse than Bell where at least those who gouged taxpayers purported to work full time,” said Boyle....
Teachers for a Change today challenged the credibility of several candidates who wrote in ballot statements and a Sunday newspaper perspective they were dedicated to fiscal conservatism and wise budgeting. Board President James Ramos said he “advocated” a $500 million construction project, however registrar expense documents show some of the $334,000 the chair at San Manuel tribal casino raised or spent came from contractors and building firms. “Future generations will be burdened with millions in unpaid interest charges,” said Richard David Boyle, president of the education advocacy foundation. Last year Boyle testified before the San Bernardino County Grand Jury about...
by Richard David Boyle For lower budget independent films, the path to an Oscar may lead through smaller film festivals, such as the upcoming Big Bear Horror Fest, running October 15th through 17th at the Performing Arts Center. The last two Oscar winners, “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Hurt Locker,” which were either abandoned or shelved by studio executives, went on to win many smaller venues, such as the Toronto Film Festival and became box office block busters and cult classics. One example may be “Solitary” which won audience raves at last month’s Big Bear Lake Film Festival. “I was turned down...
A candidate for San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees today signed a pledge for “fair, accurate and transparent,” elections and asked his four opponents to join and sign on to the national movement for free elections, Standing for Voters.

Richard David Boyle, a Board of Trustee candidate for the San Bernardino County Community College District, spoke with a Grand Jury spokeswoman about reopening an invesigation into waste in college spending, including $332,000 budgeted for an outside consultant. “Unless Democrats and Republicans get together to pass a budget,” Boyle said, “by December the college district will be forced to close its doors, and that would be a disaster similar to the Titantic hitting an iceberg.” This dire warning was confirmed by Interim Chancellor Bruce Baron who told the press that the district has to borrow money from the County just...
New charges were filed this week with evidence of violations of the Political Reform Act and perjury in the 2008 election for the Board of Trustees of the San Bernardino Community College District. The Fair Political Practices Commission, the state’s watchdog of election fraud, already fined one candidate, John Futch, $6000 for two “serious” counts and now another Board member, Carleton W. Lockwood, Jr. could face even stiffer penalties if convicted of failing to report that he received “ in kind” contributions from the district teachers union. “Futch waited a year to tell voters he was bankrolled by the San...
