It's taken so long for the process, it's being tried now in the private sector. My biggest concern is whether officer Lopez can get a fair hearing in this city,'' said Clancy, who said she has received dozens of phone calls concerning the handling of investigation. Lamoree, who has been the sole spokesman on the case, said that while he was involved in the civil aspect, he could be fair when advising the council, if Lopez takes an appeal that far. At Tuesday's council meeting, Lamoree advised councilmembers to forward concerns from their constituents to the respective attorneys since the board may be making the final decision on the punishment. Meanwhile, Don and Susan Andronico of Vacaville continued to picket City Hall on Tuesday, and pass out bright yellow fliers, posters and ribbons in support of Lopez, a veteran of about 10 years on the force.
Some cities call it retowning, others call it out-towning.
If they don't have guts enough to raise the issues with me, they don't deserve a response back. If Mr. Lamoree is offended, I don't know what to say to that. This is a man's job. The Vacaville High School runner was one of the busiest athletes on the track. And what a night it was.
