Just for fun, I will guess who the 5 John Does are from the Colonies -Postmus -Erwin complaint.
John Doe #1 was a General Partner of Colonies Partners, L.P.
John Doe #2 was a General Partner of Colonies Partners, L.P.
John Doe #3 was a media consultant for John Doe #1 and John Doe #2.
John Doe #4 was Chief of Staff for a member of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County.
John Doe #5 was a member of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County.
The campaign influence of Colonies Partners, led by Rancho Cucamonga businessmen Jeff Burum and Dan Richards, reached a crescendo in the past election cycle when the company donated more than $720,000 to six political action committees.
Patrick O'Reilly, the owner of Riverside-based O'Reilly Public Relations, said he also was on the flight with Erwin and Burum.
"I can confirm I was on the trip and did receive a watch," O'Reilly said in an e-mail statement Thursday night. "However, I did not participate in any inappropriate acts on that trip as alleged in the court document."
O'Reilly is a friend of Burum and has extensive public-relations and campaign contracts with Inland governments and political leaders. He currently has a $167,200, two-year contract with San Bernardino County for communication and education services, records show.
John Doe #4 created a PAC into which he accepted a bribe of $100,000 from Colonies for delivering the vote of Ovitt.
On May 25, 2007, the Colonies gave $100,000 to Alliance for Ethical Government PAC. Ovitt staffers Mark Kirk, Brian Johsz and Anthony Riley served as consultants on the committee and are Ovitt's chief of staff, district supervisor and special projects coordinator, respectively. The committee received the donation the same day it qualified with the Secretary of State's office and was dissolved Dec. 31.
On November 28, 2006, Defendant POSTMUS and John Doe #5, along with Ovitt, voted, as members of the Board of Supervisors, to approve a $102 million settlement with Colonies to be paid by the County
Defendant POSTMUS and John Doe #5 voted knowing that they had a financial interest in the outcome.
So my guess on who dat John Doe's is/are ,is as follows.
John Doe #1 was a General Partner of Colonies Partners, L.P.- Jeff Burum
John Doe #2 was a General Partner of Colonies Partners, L.P.- Dan Richards
John Doe #3 was a media consultant for John Doe #1 and John Doe #2.-Patrick O'Reilly
John Doe #4 was Chief of Staff for a member of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County.- Mark Kirk
John Doe #5 was a member of the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County.-Paul Biane
