The Twisted Twosome is an investigative journalism expose born of necessity, not curiosity or detached concern.  This expose came about AFTER more than 4 honest and sincere attempts to engage Glenn Church and Marilyn Vierra in direct, transparent dialogue on a myriad of important concerns failed miserably over a 30 month time period. That's what makes this an "expose" and not a  "hit piece" at all.

This expose briefly introduces California and Monterey County Governance systems . These are systems created in the 1860s or prior -- which likely went out of functional use decades ago due to societal change. 

Then it focuses on Monterey County California District 2 Supervisor, Glenn Church and his Chief of Staff Marilyn Vierra. 

While some may initially view the labelling of the two of them as "the twisted-twosome" as aggressive, edgy, or overly agressive or edgy -- especially for local media reporting -- 

As you read into this you should find that label is just a factual descriptor created  from the emails they created with their own prose. 

Some may view the title as "uncivil" .  If you view it that way you are projecting about things that have transpired in writing as if they have not already transpired.   

A civil dialogue requires two or more opposing sides to engage in open, honest transparent discussion.  

Church and Vierra were asked for meetings on two specific occasions on a myriad of issues. The requests were polite, direct and clear. 

Not only did they refuse, they deflected with obvious aversive writing techniques about topics that should have been of concern. 

Church and Vierra were then issued a "Civil Demand" with very reasonable requests for authorship given the confusion the two seemed to be creating together in writing -- and they refused that as well.   

Indeed, we just blew past civil and this expose is to show you those attempts were alerady made and declined.  So where to next?

With a little digging it was discovered that both of these inviduals can clearly identify their family lines back to immigrants to this area in the 1860s or prior.  

Most of us in the Untied States can't do that. That makes them a bit differnt than most of us.  

And while that may not seem like a singular basis for concern, when people who may have "no need to work" because of long standing land and commercial ownership that they may actively hide or downplay present themselves as "common folk",  it often goes awry because they have to fake financial stress and strain that others have - and  that's an impossible feat to do without showing some cracks.  

Sometimes we refer to these as "trust funders" -- but even those titles don't apply, often times just owning some land from prior generations  can lead to some similar traits. 

When  those cracks show, people who are under actual socio-economic stress often see them as a sign that someone is not presenting true facts about themselves or motives that might be relevant to mult-generational families in ways the rest of us pine for sometimes.  

This becomes especially concerning in a society with no proper social safety nets or health care. Those  anti-social situations are often supported by multi-generational families who sustain them to prevent competition into their long standing commercial monopolies that they hide under various names.  

With Church and Vierrra, are we actually looking at "trustfunders gone wild"?  Is the deflection and diversion presented in the first half dozen email strings just their defensive face.  

Are they executing offensive actions beyond that to sustain family controls of the county in ways that benefit them and harm us (further)? 

As you read into this you will see it's in their own written responses  to well framed and organized emails where their "twisting of fact" and "flexing of narrative" blur and omit so much, that the title becomes simply descriptive. 

This is a situatoin they created for themselves not one some outside journalist dug up. 

Now it's time for a  lot more people to try to figure out what's going on and how stop the forward motion taking us all in the wrong direction. 

Is this a case of that or something else? Is it better than i've made it sound or worse ?  here's just an intro to the concerns, 

Now is the time for expressing far more urgent(constituent) concern  for bad behavior and questionable leadership. 

Then, you be the judge...
