Tulare tom: .. why confuse a legitimate criticism of the man with the fact that he is an advocate for the 2nd Amendment? ... But all that has fuck all to do with his affiliation with the NRA.
Huh? he either was or is on the NRA board of directors, did you miss that part? I indeed find it repulsive that the NRA allows such rightwing cretins as ted nugent & tom selleck to be on their board of directors the way they behave, where other people sitting on more reputable organizations board's would most likely be dismissed for such behavior.
He evidently was asked to cease & desist yet did not. You don't think that's just cause for dismissing a person from a high ranking position?
Sit down, read it again, & rethink your hot headed position.
According to the Calleguas Municipal Water District in Ventura County, Selleck loaded a tanker truck with water more than a dozen times to use for his 60-acre Westlake Village ranch. A private investigator hired by the Calleguas district says Selleck has been stealing water in this manner for at least two years.
Different areas in California have varying water usage caps as ordered by the California state government. Some must cut water use by 25 percent. Ventura County, where Selleck’s ranch is located, must cut back its use by 36 percent. That mandatory cutback was ordered in 2013.
The district of Calleguas sent several cease-and-desist letters to Selleck, urging him to stop stealing the water. CBS News noted that Selleck’s tanker truck was spotted in March while it was filling up at a fire hydrant. The district’s lawsuit doesn’t detail exactly how much water was taken by Selleck.
Selleck’s audacity and sense of entitlement is unfathomable. As a member on the NRA’s board of directors, Selleck shares company with the likes of Ted Nugent. In that spirit, he believes that the government can’t regulate what he consumes, even when others are going without
tom: .. you make it sound like Selleck personally drove the water truck up to the hydrant and filled it up. I don't think even the water district has said that. He's a Hollywood big shot so he wouldn't get his hands dirty, he had his people do it for him.
*I* made it sound that way to you? I simply posted the article, & I didn't get that impression at all. I figured all the while that selleck did not personally get the water, sent lackeys to green up his lawns, but he has to be the 'brains' (cough) in the outfit.
