It doesn't take long to recognize Stoen's writing - it's riddled with bizarre rhetoric...
The first one ran as a help wanted ad. Then it was revised...
(Note: At this point in time (2006) Gallegos is unable to find people who are willing to come to work in an office as chaotic and badly run as his. He has lost all but three of the seasoned prosecutors who worked for Humboldt County when he was elected a few years ago. Some of his new hires have left in a few days, some in a few weeks. Gallegos' handlers believed that his having survived the recall attempt would mean that bright young activist attorneys would jump at the chance to work at the feet of the "legend" - It's comical, Gallegos' much-vaunted suit against PL didn't even pass demurr, though he has finally gotten around to filing an appeal. In the meantime, the story of his mismanagement of the office continues to make headlines, and was the subject of a scathing Grand Jury report. This blog is an archive of articles relating to this subject, and for those who are interested in discussing the ongoing saga, please visit watchpaul.blogspot.com )

WANTED: TOP-FLIGHT PROSECUTOR
WILLING TO TRADE INCOME FOR BEAUTY
The Humboldt County District Attorney's Office is recruiting for a top-flight prosecutor, with at least 5 years felony experience, who is able to "pick up a file at a moment's notice and run with it." The opening derives from one of its deputy district attorneys being appointed a federal magistrate.
The Humboldt County DA's office is one of the most exciting prosecutorial offices in California. Its District Attorney, Paul Gallegos, is willing to charge anyone who commits wrongdoing--no matter how wealthy, sacrosanct, or ruthless. He believes in total equality before the law. He also plans to be innovative in promoting programs of prevention and treatment. He wants to make it the best prosecutorial office of its size in the nation.
As an example of willingness to take on the powerful, the office filed, in February 2003, a major fraud suit against Pacific Lumber Company under the Unfair Competition Law. This led to Pacific Lumber's funding a recall against the DA, on which it spent $220,000 despite Humboldt being a rural county of only 140,000 people.
On March 2, 2004, the voters in Humboldt County gave Gallegos an emphatic vote of confidence--over 61% of the vote despite a massive barrage of false advertising.
Humboldt County is considered one of the most beautiful counties in the nation. It has an extensive coastline on the Pacific, contains rugged mountains for hiking and scenic rivers for fishing, and is home to the most cathedral-like redwoods in the world.
Eureka-Arcata has an airport with regularly scheduled service to San Francisco and Sacramento and elsewhere. It contains Humboldt State University, which reportedly sends the highest number of graduates into the Peace Corps of all colleges and universities in America.
The salary schedule for this position is per year, plus health and dental insurance benefits. Cost of living in Eureka-Arcata is less than in California's urban areas.
