(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 22, 2022 — City of Placerville Council member Dennis said that paying respect to fallen El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Brian Ishmael by naming the post office after him isn’t appropriate […]

Thomas was surprised to learn this is the building Congress Member Tom McClintock wants to be renamed in honor of fallen Deputy Ishmael. […]

In the council meeting seeking a city resolution approving the new name, Thomas spoke to a spokesperson for congressman McClintock, Kimberly Pruett, by phone.

“This has nothing to do with the condition of the post office,” Pruett said. “So I’m a little surprised we are just now hearing about how terrible the post office is.”

Thomas responded, “I don’t think they got the rubber stamp they were looking for.” But, he continued, “and I think it kind of set her back a little bit.” […]

The council postponed their vote on supporting the renaming and plans to take it up again next month.
