    As Janet Incompetano might put it,the term “undocumented citizen” is a man-caused disaster.

    Another term for “undocumented citizen” is “unregistered Democrat.”

    William Crosby was operating within the law. He has filed a lawsuit against Mono County and I hope he wins.

    William Crosby sued Mono County, its District Attorney Timothy Kendall, Mammoth Lakes, and its police Officers Seth Clark, Paul Robles and Rick Moberly, in Mono County Court.
