Why did Lake County hire a public defender, who does not even live in our county, to represent the people of Lake County?

Mr. Raymond Buenaventura is employed by the city of Daly City as an elected official who represents the people of Daly City. He has no connection with Lake County or our residents.

This is Lake County not Daly City!

If he is to be our public defender, he should reside in our county where he is personally and readily accessIble to the needs of the residents he will be serving.

If not, I feel this is a gross misuse of county resources and a disservice to our residents.
