“I hold degrees in Accounting and Law,” says candidate Ron Holly on his website. He’s running for Treasurer of Monterey County, California. Yet his law degree, writes the Monterey County Herald, “comes from a non-accredited diploma mill of a law school.”
Ron Holly is not a lawyer…
I’ve watched politicians and bureaucrats in Monterey County for almost 30 years now. And I don’t believe I’ve ever been more insulted than when I heard the evasions and excuses emanating from Ron Holly when he and two other candidates for Monterey County treasurer-tax collector showed up at The Herald on Thursday to seek our editorial board’s endorsement for his candidacy.
The Board of Supervisors doesn’t care. He’s got their endorsement.
