Horsley must be crapping his pants. He’s being challenged by a giy who knows karate and, like both Sues, has very good attendance.

Stegink is a very stable genius!

Former Sheriff Horsley vs. former Johnson County inmate Stegink. Johnson County happens to be the same county in Iowa where Stegink graduated from high school in 1985.

Anonymous said...

Stegink went to high school in Iowa and I believe went to college there as well. Years later, while still in Iowa, he was charged with no less than 12 different criminal offenses on three separate occasions in Johnson County Court.

On the first instance, it appears he fled from police in a vehicle and was involved in a high speed chase which ended when he crashed. He faced charges of eluding police, reckless driving, exceeding the posted speed limit by over 20 MPH, driving the wrong way on a highway, blowing through multiple stop signs/traffic lights, and failure to maintain control (the final crash). A few of these are felonies under certain circumstances, but the records are unclear as to what he was ultimately charged with and how much time (if any) was served. He definitely crossed paths with the Iowa Department of Corrections in connection with this escapade and he's listed as having being placed on probation. It's unclear if this is in lieu of time served or after time had been served.

During a second separate instance, Dan was charged with filing a false police report. I'm unsure what his sentence was in connection with this.

During a third separate instance, Stegink was charged with "interference with official acts." Although it's unclear what the nature of this is, stuff like resisting arrest or otherwise preventing police from being able to do their jobs falls under this category.

A note about criminal records: certain states (like Iowa) allow the public to view criminal records such as this. Others (like California) restrict access to law enforcement and employment background checks. Individuals can request a copy of their own criminal records though.

Would Dan be willing to share his California criminal history (if any) with us? I feel the voters have a right to know who their dealing with.

This must surely be some other Daniel Stegink. There must be dozens of Dan Steginks in Iowa. LMAO.

Steve Sinai said...

Well Dan did flip out and threaten to kill me about a half-dozen times in the parking lot of council chambers last year.

Poor judgement by Deirdre Martin, John Keener and Sue Digre to put him on the Planning Commission. Everyone knows they did it as a reward for helping force Nihart out of the race in order to guarantee Martin a seat on council, even though they had multiple emails from people, mine included, warning them about how unstable, bullying, and dishonest Stegink was.

Daniel Evan Stegink
DOB: July 6, 1967

Quite the coincidence that Iowa Dan and Pacifica Dan share an exact name and date of birth, wouldn't you say?

By the way, public records searches are tracked internally (server-side) by social security # which are typically required by utilities upon initial connection. While the public can't see the SSN's, it's how these records are matched and strung together on the back end.

This is a long way of saying that anyone can use one of dozens of public records search engines to look up Dan's current Pacifica address and use the SSN associated with that record to pull up his entire past history.

Partially redacted SSNs are shown and those match up. The criminal record is his. There's no doubt, unless someone wants to try tell me the SSN match is yet another amazing coincidence.

Steve,

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one who wrote to council about Dan Stegink's fitness to serve on a committee. I disagree with many of the viewpoints on Fix Pacifica, but here we agree.

When I heard that Stegink was applying to the Open Space Committee, I detailed the concerns I had about Dan's behavior, largely along the same lines as you: half-truths and lies, backed up by bullying, taunting, and intimidation. I outlined a particular instance when I had pushed back one of his "mistruths" on Next Door--he had posted a picture of a rusty handrail at the Chit Chat Cafe to back up his claim that the ocean flooded the Beach Blvd. regularly(!)--and Dan began sending me unsolicited emails to my private address, one after the other, every fifteen minutes. Childish taunts. He simply would not stop emailing me with these over and over until I figured out a way to block him from my server. Yeah, it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but all the same, it was bizarre and unsettling. Who the hell behaves like that?

His general online demeanor--intimidation and false information--got bad enough that a group of neighbors on Next Door started reaching out to each other and we tried to see what the administrators of the site could do about his bullying. I believe he was banned from the site for several weeks in response to our concerns.

I detailed all this and other concerns to our city council in a letter, but he was appointed to the planning commission anyway by votes from Keener, Martin and Digre. It's certainly their right to appoint whomever they want, but I was genuinely astonished. It demonstrates a colossal lack of judgment and I'm still blown away by their decision--especially in light of the fact that they were contacted by multiple people about Dan's outrageous behavior. I can't make sense of their decision except in terms that you described, Steve.

Dan Stegink has no business being on a committee, commission, or holding any elected office. San Mateo County and Pacifica can do better.

Anonymous said...

For what Stegink did to participate in forcing Mary Ann Nihart to withdraw from Council, And for what he has been doing to harass many others in the community he should suffer a very painful experience if he actually wants to run. Let his fate be that of his results in running for a position on the local Parents Teachers Association at one of our local schools.

he should be very ashamed by what he did to assist in dislocating the residents of Pacific Skie Estates. He also was a huge supporter of Measure C which just divided our community with a very bad plan that would have hurt renters and property owners in the long run.

Diedra martin, the illegitimate city council person, John Keener, and Sue Digree put him on planning for all his dealings!!!! What a bunch of Clowns who are continually screwing Pacifica!!

Steve Sinai said...

And don't forget, right after the last city council election, Stegink removed all of his bs comments from Nextdoor. Nobody else did that. I guess he didn't want to be held accountable for what he wrote.

Anonymous said...

Stegink is a menace to Pacifica. As is Deirdre Martin and Cynthia Kaufman.
Got a big laugh at Kaufman's "My Turn" article in this weeks Trib. She is lambasting the No on C people for using outside money to prevent approval of rent control and calling them an affront to Democracy.
Holy Cow!
Being lectured to by an avowed socialist and the architect of the Hatch Act shenanigans to block Mary Ann and install her puppet Deirdre, is too hypocritical for words. I wonder if the Pacifica Progressive Alliance understands that they are being used by this wacky commie or if they are all just as bad as her?

It looks like Dan has a decades-long history of being unable to control his impulses and temper, and he's never been able to overcome that.

Did anyone on council ever say why they chose Stegink over the other applicants for planning commission? Why did they reward an angry and aggressive bully who delights in attacking and criticizing women and community volunteers?

I still can’t believe it and it shows how out of touch Martin, Digre and Keenet are that they’re unaware of Dan’s behavior towards others in the community. It’s no secret, his reputation is well known. Or maybe worse...they knew but didn’t care. Really a low point in this council’s history.

Don't you guys know how to do "The Dirty Dan Stegink?"

1) Call up your opponents at their private places of business to "check on them". Constantly. If they're traveling to an event, call the event location to make sure they actually showed up and got there okay. Some may call this stalking, but ignore them. Call around as often as necessary until your opponent fears for their personal safety. (ask ex-council member Nihart about her personal experience with this treatment)

2) File endless complaints with the agencies. Which agencies? All of them. File complaints for anything and everything. Every "i" that isn't dotted, every t that isn't crossed. File a complaint. Soon you will have forced all your competition to withdraw on technicalities or out of fear for their lives.

3) Finally, the coup de grâce: Have Cynthia Kaufman release a statement that the whole disqualification thing is oh-so-unfortunate, but she simply doesn't know anything about it and by the way she's just writing about the subject for shits n' giggles. Total coincidence.

It's very telling that Stegink measures his qualifications to hold a county supervisor position almost purely in terms of physical accomplishments. He's the kid whose life peaked when he scored a winning touchdown during a meaningless high school football game and will never stop reminding people about it for the rest of his life.

At least he dropped his "growing an online following" shtick and stopped claiming Beach Coalition Events as his own, but all the same...what a complete embarrassment.

Is...is Dan Stegink under the impression that county supervisor meetings are held in a dojo? Or that he and Horsley going to enter the Octagon at one of their debates?

Markus said...

So what are Stegink's qualifications to have gained seat on The Planning Commission? I don't see anything on his page. Great accomplishments in marathons, triathlons and martial arts. All require physical and mental discipline. Here's where I have a problem in correlating his school yard bullying and threatening behavior to self discipline, mental or physical. I don't think sociopathic behavior is a discipline.

Anonymous said...

His qualifications are that he worked with Keener in opposing the libray bond and he worked with Martin to disqualify Nihart from the ballot. The appointment was the reward. He literally has no real life experience that would lend itself to a planning commission seat. It’s as simple as that.

They're really having themselves a nice whine and cheese Pity Party over on Next Door, talking about how great Dan is and how he was totally qualified to become a county supervisor because he once gave a bagel to someone on the beach and showed someone how to turn off a sprinkler.

Dan would have totally won if it weren't for the mean ol' victims of his harassment being jerks and talking about it in public!

There are a number of "I don't care, I'm going to vote for him anyway, ha-ha" and "if Dan is making people mad, it's a good thing" responses to those brave enough to share their stories about being harassed by Dan. I'm not kidding. These so-called "progressives" think that it's a good thing people are upset about being harassed. They have literally posted in public that not only is it a "good thing" for Dan to behave like a complete ass who is unable to control himself and is harassing people on a community forum, it makes them want to vote for him! Holy cow.

Interestingly, instead of even acknowledging the effects of this harassment, the Stegink Admiration Society launches into victim blaming and tries to look up info on them in order to smear them with it. Just the exact sort of thing that good ol' Dan does! What a total and absolute coincidence that his supporters also engage in the same type of online behavior.

As an aside, if you find yourself posting more than 10 times in any one thread on Next Door, you really need to examine where things have gone wrong in your life.

To put it the same way, incumbent Don Horsley only managed an embarrassing 12,000 votes. If there are 97,000 registered voters who could have voted, that means 88% of registered voters did not vote for Horsley. A huge majority, 83% of voters, didn't vote for either candidate. SAD!

Anonymous said...

8:28 makes a good point.

Getting elected requires you to connect with people and establish a network of contacts. You will need volunteers willing to work on your behalf. And you will need money.

Stegink couldn’t come up with any of that and despite his best efforts ended up nothing more than a statistical blip in the final results.

The bottom line is that if you want to become a community leader, you’ll first need to run a successful campaign leveraging support from that same community and Stegink failed miserably at this. He’s no leader.

Truth 2 Power said...

Dan finally met a board even he couldn't karate chop and that board is called "elective office."

Didn't Stegink complain to the school district because the Cabrillo PTO failed to acknowledge his brilliance? They wouldn't elect him either. They must not have known about his karate at the time. Funny how the only position he can get is an appointed one, as a reward for the dirty tricks he did on behalf of Martin and Keener. When it comes to actually getting the public to support Dan, welp it's a whoooole other ballgame.

Between now and his next campaign, maybe Dan can run a couple more marathons in order to beef up his resume.

It took a while, but the chickens have come home to roost and Dan's reputation as a wack-job is now common knowledge. You can't be a complete A-hole to people over and over, time after time, and expect them to not talk about it with their neighbors or forget about it. And it all adds up.

He won't be getting any endorsements. Ever. He's too toxic. The gadfly stink is all over him. In fact, it will be interesting to see if his behavior begins to negatively affect his career in the medical information field. Companies are less inclined than ever to put up with someone who acts like a total shit in his or her private life.

Wait and watch: the city council will flip in November and Stegink will be removed from the planning commission in short order. Meet me at Nick's when that happens, because I'm buying and drinks are on me.
