If you think for a second that Karm Bains would not be where he is without the influence of his father, think again:

I salute Didar Bains as an American success story, while questioning the qualifications of Karm Bains. Karm’s life has charted a radically different course. I also ask if Karm would have gotten the government appointments he did without his father’s financial largess to Brown and others in office?

Should the voters of Sutter County reward a fortunate son? Or, rather should there be some scrutiny?

Karm Bains re-registered NPP despite being a lifelong democrat. Why? Should the fact that Governor Brown Appointed Karm, then a democrat to a cush job in 2018 be an issue?

Karm Bains has several criminal convictions, DUI, Wet and Reckless and refusing to take a sobriety test.

The younger Bains has also been sued for not paying his bills.

There are other more recent events that suggest that Karm is always at the center of trouble that we will get in to in a bit. So, in case you missed it, here we go…

Then there is this:

Take a look at his money:

You will find Meg Whitman, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gentleman Jim Nielsen on the list. This explains the affinity of Jim Nielsen for this democrat. It appears that Mr. Bains learned well from his father to throw money around to local electeds.

A review of Federal Contributions shows that Karm and his father have thrown money around for years. Karm’s father contributed to Jerry McNerney  (COM-Stockton) in 2010 who beat Richard Pombo.

There are also donations from Father and Son to both John Garamendi (who threatened to kick Donald Trump Jr’s — on National TV) and Doug LaMalfa.

Now, we have a view of how Karm Bains landed those three endorsements.

Here is a legitimate question though – do we really know where Bains stands on anything? He’s played both sides of the political spectrum for so long it is impossible to know. This is why has appointment by Jerry Brown is informative.

Does Karm Bains support illegal immigrant labor? (He is set to inherit a 40,000 acre peach orchard)

Does Karm Bains agree with the national democrats on de-funding the police?

Does Karm Bains still drink? If so, why given the amount of trouble he’s had related to booze? Wouldn’t that suggest issues with his personal decision making?

Does his pattern of political donations suggest purchase of influence? Should we be concerned about someone this close to the swamp gaining political power of his own?

Karm Bains is in a runoff against Tej Mann for County Supervisor. A lot of people think Bains is the favorite – a lot of people should start asking a lot of questions before falling in line.

Now – let these questions percolate as we continue our expose on Sutter County’s Fortunate Son…
