ive read that jaycee and terry both want to enact change so this wont happen again. suing the people you want to change might not exactly be helpful to that end so they might not sue. although, i cant see the parole office in anitoch NOT Being sued at this point.
There is no parole office in Antioch.
Your Turn: Editorial wrong about Rupf

In response to the recent Times editorial "Bureaucratic dance," I encourage the citizens of Contra Costa County to consider the following. As should be expected, the Times presented an ardent criticism of the parole office as a result of last week's scathing report regarding the Jaycee Dugard matter in Antioch. And it is well deserved.
However, the editorial appears to praise Sheriff Warren Rupf's "stand up" as a magnanimous act and gesture of good will toward this community. In reality, it's nothing more than pure politicizing. Had the sheriff not performed his well-choreographed "stand up routine," the citizens of this community would have shot him down with an orchestrated artillery barrage. And he knows that.
The Times editorial is aiding and abetting in what is obviously an inept attempt to defer as much blame away from Sheriff Rupf as possible. Why is that, I'd like to know? Is that politics again, as opposed to the unadulterated truth.
As we deserve, the public is getting independent reviews of the parole board, the BART incident, the Bailey incident and the Richmond rape incident to name a few. As far as I know, t
here is no independent review being conducted regarding the sheriff's role or lack thereof in the Garrido/Dugard matter.
Our beleaguered Board of Supervisors has decided to rely solely on an internal affairs investigation conducted by the sheriff. Could anyone possibly be so naive as to believe that we will get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth from the sheriff?
