It is ludicrous to think that a low-level temporary employee was "told to redact" part of…Read More legal bills. I don't believe that for a second. More likely, the Admin Services officer just told the clerk to give the auditor the invoices they asked for. Then, when she realized it was going to reveal improprieties (or illegalities), the AO pitched a fit and conveniently, the temporary employee was let go. It does seem to me the City is trying very hard to hide something. I have been reading Libi's rants about the city doing illegal stuff for months. She appears to have been right.
'... Does anyone remember City of Bell?... We don't want hat here....'
too late - the l.a. times…Read More reporter that won the pulitzer prize for his coverage of the city of bell has already contacted me and cbs is already scheduled to film the audit ....
expecting the l.a. times cover up your corruption like 'papa doc' does at the union tribune isn't going to work out for you...
council members are the 1st indicted because they sign the papers and ratify the check warrants ... i contacted every member of council and not one of them would stand up for the art kids.....
....so they all get to fall together....too bad for you.....
thanks loki, but it's a long process and far from over....the city manager of bell is still awaiting…Read More trial.....
the law firm handles dozens of cities - i'll need to audit other cities to show a pattern of corruption against the firm...
the good news is that there's laws on the books to recoup the taxpayers' money ....
'..."I believe they said the person who asked for the audits was probably insane," Foster said. ...'
who you call'n crazy ....you're the ones that choose to ruin your lives just to throw the art kids out of the park...
....'hey mac - what are you in for?'.......'refusing to allow little kids to use a public park'....
i would have never looked at the books if they had just left the little kids alone, but child abuse is something i can't turn my back on....
This city needs to hire a Qualified City Planner. It is quite evident that there is no one in city…Read More management who has any idea what they are doing, specifically with regard to all this continuous construction at the height of tourist season. There are other things I question the city doing, too, but the situation with constant construction is ridiculous.
famous quotes from the city manager.....'pedestrian lighting? - is that with a hook at the…Read More top'.......'i think summer season is mid july - to august'...'business district? who knows where the business district is'.....
'...Sure hope elections are just around the corner, city management as it is needs to go!! ...'
city management position is appointed...the city is currently spending $30,000 to find someone that shares their 'values'..
for mr lizard and the city council of ib - it was a match made in hell....he didn't do one thing council didn't support .....or even question....
Nope..he's a Public Figure...and as such must be accessible to us...and actually should be......as…Read More it is he is unable to be found..never holds public hearings to give his assessment on what's happening with this Grand Jury thing or about anything. So I guess now we know where he is. Hey Mr Mayor, mind telling us what your hours at The Plank are so we might approach you about our concerns ....sounds like what we used to call in the Air Force a ROAD (Retired on Active Duty)

Forcing the blame back on the court's for the release of these felon's will not solve the problem…Read More tho, A workable answer is to de=criminalize all state marijuana laws and release all those convicted of marijuana except thos ewith a conviction for distributing over 10 Lbs. Then take all those with federal convictions and drop them off at a federal court for them to deal; with ! We can not afford to keep minor marijuana prisoners in state jails any longer. These tow actions would make all the room we need in outr state prisons !
Candy,
Spriggs and Patton are supposed to be researching a Youth Advisory Committee (including a…Read More name with a better acronym).
Sign me up for a Youth committee. With 3 kids, from teen to toddler, I have a very vested interest in keeping activities for all ages. Plus Marc wants on. As a teen he can be a leader to younger kids - like he is in Coronado.
It is just those of us who want to work for our city's betterment, seem to be shot down.
Why can't the Sportspark offer the same type of programs that the YMCA does? I think it would be…Read More great for the City to have have a Parks and Rec's Advisory Committee. The advisory committee could help the rec center establish some new programs and apply for the 1000's of grants available out there.
Lets not forget about the over 800 people in IB who signed a petition and still want a dog park. What about the need for a park in the Oneonta area? A Parks and Rec's Advisory Board could help council with funding and also take some of the work load off of staff. This wouldn't cost the City a dime, sounds like a win-win to me. If the advisory board had some dedicated volunteers, they could establish themselves as a non-profit and apply for grants themselves and help the City pay for these projects. That would free up money in the general fund and allow us to keep our Sportspark, Skatepark and Little Leagues to ourselves. Out sourcing should be our last resort.
