GREG RITCHIE - We have now received additional tips, supporting documentation, and further allegations regarding Greg Ritchie’s reported dealings connected to California Forever and related political activity in Solano County.
Based on the volume and seriousness of the information being provided by concerned residents and sources, portions of this material have been forwarded to the California Attorney General’s Office, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), and multiple external news outlets.
Several independent media contacts have indicated they intend to further review and report on these matters for broader public exposure and accountability.
One additional tip received alleges that Greg Ritchie may be preparing for a future run for Mayor of the City of Vacaville.
If true, Vacaville residents may want to closely examine the growing concerns, allegations, and questions surrounding his political conduct, associations, and reported backchannel dealings before deciding whether he deserves higher office.
Some in the community are now openly asking whether it may simply be time for Councilman Ritchie to retire from politics altogether.
But ultimately, that decision belongs to the public. You be the judge.
SOLANO COUNTY PARKS- Solano Watchdogs has received an extensive tip and supporting information raising serious environmental and public safety concerns regarding herbicide spraying in local parks and public-access open spaces throughout Solano County.
The concern centers around reported applications of herbicides including aminopyralid (Milestone) and triclopyr (Vastlan), chemicals allegedly being used in areas frequented by families, walkers, pets, and wildlife.
According to the information provided to us, residents have observed widespread vegetation die-off, warning signage advising against harvesting plant material, and large-scale removal of wild fennel and surrounding vegetation in publicly accessible areas.
The tip further raises concerns about:
• potential long-term environmental persistence of these chemicals
• possible impacts to pollinators, soil systems, and wildlife
• exposure risks to children and pets
• runoff and groundwater concerns
• and whether proper public notification and safety measures are consistently being followedAt this stage, these claims are allegations and concerns currently under review and investigation.
⚠️ WE NEED THE COMMUNITY’S HELP ⚠️
We are asking residents throughout Solano County to visit your local parks, trails, and open-space areas and document what you see.
Please take photos of:
• herbicide warning signs
• dead or chemically impacted vegetation
• spraying notices
• areas with public exposure concerns
• and any locations where signage appears missing or inadequateSend those pictures to tips.solanowatchdogs@proton.me
Because we began investigating K. Patrice Williams, an FPPC complaint was filed against us. That complaint changes NOTHING.
Here is the reality elected officials need to understand: the public is allowed to question you, criticize you, investigate you, document your conduct, and expose concerns involving public office. That is not harassment. That is accountability.
We are not an organization. We are private citizens who are tired of watching problems get ignored while the same political figures expect silence from the communities they serve. We are no longer waiting quietly for someone else to step in. We are demanding accountability ourselves.
Since our reporting and investigation began, we have received an enormous amount of tips, complaints, documents, and community submissions regarding K. Patrice Williams. Residents, employees, and community members continue coming forward because many people believe their concerns have gone ignored for far too long.
To every elected official paying attention: attempts to intimidate, threaten, pressure, or weaponize complaints against citizens speaking out will not work. Public office does not place you above scrutiny, and holding office does not shield you from criticism or investigation by the people funding your salary and living under your decisions.
We will continue publishing, documenting, questioning, and investigating matters that impact this community. We will not be bullied into silence. We will not be intimidated by political titles, influence, or retaliation tactics masquerading as ethics complaints.
