Drum roll, please, for this statement from the Garlic Festival Board of Directors regarding missing revenue: “Since the discovery of missing funds from a ticket booth, the 2012 Garlic Festival Board of Directors has chosen to address this incident as a criminal matter and defer comment to the Gilroy Police Department. This incident will in no way impact the total revenue distribution to participating non-profit organizations.” Batten down the hatches. So, GPD, how many interviews have been conducted? In the department’s view, is there clear evidence of a theft? Have the suspect(s) been contacted? Is the District Attorney’s office reviewing the facts? What are the facts thus far? If answers to these basic questions would “compromise” the investigation, please explain how that’s the case. and they should be given as much information as possible as soon as it’s available.

The Gilroy Chamber of Commerce last month honored a local volunteer who spends approximately 12 hours a week cleaning up graffiti and ripping down garage sale signs posted illegally on public property.
