We think someone is going to get acquainted with Penal Code 488 and 490 real soon!
TO CATCH A THIEF. Thirty Miles defends the right to free political speech, such as the “PHONEY” signs being placed next to the “FALCONE”(Y) signs around town. Juveniles we are at heart, we got a kick out of the clever stunt. You don’t have to like it, but in our great country, you have to tolerate others’ rights to state their beliefs.
However, there are others who don’t believe in this fundamental right: they think it’s ok to suppress and censor others who disagree with them. Their goal is power, and at any cost including criminal actions, which they justify by rationalizing they are “right” and others are “wrong”. This elitist behavior is caused by the narcissistic belief that they are smarter, wiser, and just plain better than others. TMC, however, believes it’s a sickness – a mental illness of sorts.
And so we post this video, of a Phoney Falcone(y) crony caught red-handed in the act of stealing someone’s sign. And we offer a $100 reward for information leading to this person’s identity, which can be posted below this article in the comments section.
The fact this brazen act was committed in broad daylight by this idiot only shows you how Falcone(y)’s woke supporters don’t believe there will be any accountability for their illegal actions. Perhaps it’s Falcone(y)’s police union support that makes them so bold. Perhaps it’s why Falcone(y) and his ilk support Prop 47, which made thefts under $950 misdemeanors, and encourage smash and grab robberies that are harming our business community, and making our City much more dangerous for the law-abiding general public.
IF OSTENTATION IS THE SIGNAL FLAG OF HYPOCRISY, no one in this town holds a candle to former Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey, who just a week ago posted this gem on his Facebook page, which was reposted by Falcone(y) and his allies. The message being that placing a “PHONEY” sign was the political equivalent of running over nuns in the crosswalk with your Hummer. The exaggerated moral outrage was high comedy, with the usual gaggle of bootlicking conspirators filling in the comments section in support of the good-ole’-boy narrative.
Phoney Falcone(y) reposts former Mayor Rusty Bailey’s “say no to dirty politics” Facebook post
If we were to detail Rusty and his allies’ dirty politics over the past 15 years, we’d…we’d…well we actually did do that and it’s called THIRTY MILES OF CORRUPTION! So instead raking up all that muck (our readers can check our archives if they want) we thought we’d remind everyone of one of our favorites: the time Rusty’s own Dad (a former judge at that!), William R. Bailey II, was allegedly caught knocking over one of his son’s opponent’s campaign signs (aka, vandalism)! The irony. Yeah, SAY NO TO DIRTY POLITICS Rusty! Hah! You helped bring them to a new level in Riverside!
Team Falcone(y) and Team Bailey rally over a common enemy: other candidate’s campaign signs!
We at TMC call on Ward 1 City Council candidate Phil Falcone to publicly name the thief (no, you are not eligible for the reward), state whether your campaign condoned such actions, and if not, condemn the actions of this individual. Prepare to be boarded Phil: our email is on its way.
Despite some belief to the contrary, theft is still a crime in California:
And if this idiot and his possible allies were stupid enough to steal several signs, it could very well escalate to felony grand theft…uh oh!
UPDATE 2/26/24: TMC asked Mr. Falcone(y) about the criminal acts caught in the video. Despite Falcone(y)’s “24-hour promise”, still no response.
Another broken promise by Phoney Falcone(y)? We’re constituents of Ward 1 Phil! Not off to a good start on your “24-hour promise”… is this how you plan on treating the “little” people?

THEY SAY WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS, and such was the case for 21 year-old Falcone(y). He may have come in 3rd in the June 2019 election, but within months it would be announced former Mayor Rusty Bailey would not be running for re-election, but instead helming the Riverside homeless shelter operated by Path of Life ministries. Bailey’s outspoken support of the homeless population (and the monies that followed) had created a magnet for the region’s homeless to flock to, and dang it if he wasn’t the person to right that ship…and maybe make a buck or two in the process!
As is with everything political in Riverside, Bailey’s handpicked successor was already waiting in the wings, our own Mayor Patricia Lock-Dawson. By handpicked, TMC means the general consensus of the good-ole’-boys of Riverside: the entitled, elite crowd with their connections throughout the government, education, non-profit, and business sectors, who know what’s best for you and I; and certainly what’s best for them – OUR MONEY!
The handoff of power wouldn’t be without its difficulties though, primarily because of that pesky inconvenience known as an election. If young Philly couldn’t win an election dad-gummit, he’d try the next best thing: helping someone else win an election. And for the rest of 2019 and 2020, Falcone(y) was never far from the Mayor’s magnificent pantsuit of many colors, as he joined her campaign team as a volunteer – an option only afforded to those that live with their parents TMC would like to mention.
Pantsuits in every color of the rainbow! Don’t believe us? Google it!
FLASHBACK TO THE 2020 MAYOR’S RACE. And after winning a plurality in the March 2020 general election, the wheels came off then-Councilman Andy Melendrez’s campaign for Mayor in the months leading up to the special run-off election that November, an ignominy covered in great detail here at Thirty Miles. Given the revolt against the good-ole-boy crowd in 2019 that resulted in four new Councilmembers being elected, many of them progressively “woke”, we viewed PLD’s win as more of Melendrez’s failure. The bottomline was still the same: young Falcone(y) had some political chips to cash in for his efforts.
And he would cash them in for his first real full-time job, working directly for Mayor Lock-Dawson of course, and being paid for by you! And here’s where the story gets the most predictably interesting: TMC will expose how the tit-for-tat game works in the City of Riverside, which benefits the insiders and ensures the bloodlines of the good-ole’-boy racket lives on.
“PHONEY” HIRING PROCESS. Let’s start by taking a look at Falcone(y)’s hiring process. All jobs within the City have job specifications assigned to them. Those specs list the qualifications – experience, education, skills, etc. – the candidate MUST have in order to apply for that job. This helps to ensure that taxpayer money is spent hiring staff that can do their job from day one, prevents government jobs from just going to partisans, and ultimately makes the City better at its primary function: providing services to constituents.
So let’s take a look at job specs in 2020 for Falcone(y)’s job, Assistant to the Mayor:
We call your attention to “Minimum Qualifications,” which include a Bachelor’s Degree (or equivalent) “with a major related to public or business administration, public relations, communications or a closely related field, and “four years of responsible administrative support work and/or public relations experience” Now-22-year-old Phil’s major? Architecture & Art History…and Gender Studies (seriously, you can’t make this up). Phil’s work experience consisted of internships, volunteer positions, and a 17-month gig at the Mission Inn Foundation.
First Career Pathway for Gender Studies Majors: Politics! No Credentials Required!
And Falcone(y)’s starting salary for not having the “minimum qualifications”? A tidy $56,184 per year with full benefits and pension. If only your kid had worked on Patricia’s Lock-Dawson campaign! But wait, it gets better … much better (at least for Falcone(y)).
THE CAN’T-MISS KID. Within 6 months Phil got his first raise: 9%. In typical City of Riverside fashion it was a raise for, well … doing nothing really; a salary adjustment because other workers at the City, who subjectively performed similar functions, made more, and gosh dangit, we just can’t have that in the era of equity, “minimum qualifications” or not! 6 months later along came a 5% for “doing his job”. 6 months later another 5% was tacked on as a cost-of-living adjustment. 6 months later another 10%, apparently for doing his job (whatever that was, which we will cover shortly) well. 6 months later another 3% for inflation, most likely driven by government wages outpacing the economy. A total cumulative raise of 37% in under 2-1/2 years (taking him to about $77,000/year)! Oh and did we mention a “hero pay” bonus of TEN THOUSAND dollars paid by you, the taxpayers, on top of it all for his remote deskwork during Covid! WHAT A HERO! All approved by “taxpayer advocate” Mayor PLD. We’d laugh, but the joke’s on us again!
Next time you hear about the “need” in Riverside to approve another tax, rate, or fee increase, TMC encourages you to think about whether the City really acts as your fiduciary.
ASSISTING THE MAYOR…BUT HOW? So what exactly did Falcone(y) actually do in the Mayor’s Office for this filthy lucre? Via the California Public Records Act, TMC had access to hundreds, if not thousands of Falcone(y)’s emails during his time as a “senior policy advisor” to the Mayor. What did we find? Let’s first go over what we didn’t find: any examples of Falcone(y) actually advising the Mayor on any policy, like he goes around town proclaiming. We found only a handful of examples of him fielding questions from the Mayor’s constituents, which he simply forwarded onto the appropriate departments.
What did he actually do? Well, 90% of his “City” communications dealt with beautification projects, like murals. The rest were mundane and inconsequential. We do know from his expense accounts that he attended a lot of meetings on behalf of the Mayor to regurgitate her message (aka, “we’re working on it”). But as we suspected there were MANY emails indicating Falcone(y) spent a lot of time working on the Mayor’s and his campaign, and his personal life. Which means he was at least part-time campaign staff paid for by you the taxpayer!
PHONEY FALCONE(Y)’S LIFE AND AMBITIONS SUBSIDIZED BY THE TAXPAYERS! Exhibits A & B: Falcone(y) working on Mayor Patricia Lock-Dawson’s campaign on City time; Exhibits C, D, & E – Falcone(y) working on his own campaign on City time; Exhibits F, G, & H: Falcone(y) working on his personal affairs on City time … affairs like moving into Ward 1 just months before he announced his bid for the Ward 1 seat (can anyone say “carpetbagger”?)
Given that he was also a full-time student at Cal Baptist (another interesting plot we’ll delve into as part of Phoney Falcone(y) – Part III) and had several other community commitments to pad his resume for his eventual scheme to return to politics, there just weren’t enough hours in the day for Falcone(y) to work the 70 hours/week he regularly claims in political speeches he put in at the City…more like 20 we figure, and we think that’s generous. He was part of the bloat that is the Mayor’s budget, leftover from the Loveridge regime – groomed to be the protege, and according to Falconey, eventual successor, of Mayor Lock-Dawson. And that’s how it’s done here in the ole’ River City.
FALCONEY GETS CAUGHT. Of course, long-time government watchdog and taxpayer champion, Jason Hunter, had the scoop Falcone was campaigning on City time months ago, which is rumored to have been the impetus behind Falcone(y)’s sudden departure from City Hall late last year. Phil learned the hard way that in the dog-eat-dog world of Riverside politics, the Mayor’s re-election takes precedence over his election: tough lesson kid. Watch directly below for the video Hunter played during public comment for the Council and Mayor right before Falcone(y) “resigned to concentrate on his campaign”.
PHONEY FALCONE(Y) caught using his position in the Mayor’s Office for his political machinations. This video sent from his campaign social media while acting in his capacity as a City employee in violation of the City’s Municipal code, a misdemeanor that of course won’t be prosecuted.
As TMC knows, when it comes to the Riverside chosen: the rules are for thee, and not for me!
TMC’S ANTI-ENDORSEMENT. It’s 2 weeks until the Riverside general election, and we think voters ought to know who the candidate NOT to vote for in Ward 1 (our Ward) is: Philip “Phoney” Falcone(y). In Part III of this series we’ll talk about some of the whoppers Falcone(y) has been using on the campaign trail as part of his “fake it ’til you make it” strategy that ultimately ends we hear when he replaces Newsome as our Governor, presumably using Riverside as his stepping stone along the way. We’ll discuss who is supporting him, why, and what it means for the future of Riverside (hint: more bad news).
But before we sign off, we thought we’d get in one more kick to the derrière, from an interview now 26-year-old Falcone(y) conducted just a few days ago. See if you can spot the lie! He just can’t help himself! ROTFL!
PHONEYFALCONE(Y) aged a year in just over a month (campaigning is hard, but we’re not sure that hard)…says he’s 27! Maturity, wisdom, and experience I guess do matter.If he can lie about his age without blinking, do you think he’s telling you the truth, or saying what he thinks you want to hear in order to manipulate you for your vote?
Falcone(y)’s real age?
Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!
“I’m Phoney Falcone(y) and you have my word on it!”

“You can fool all people some of the time and some people all the time.” “Is truth really an issue with Falcone”? – Riverside politics since before we were born
AS THE PAGE TURNS from 2023 to an election year in 2024, Thirty Miles examines the local candidates who would like to lead Riverside for the next 4 years. We start in Ward One – our ward – which now includes Downtown, the Wood Streets, the Eastside, and the Northside. The Grand neighborhood was unceremoniously dumped from Ward One during the decennial redistricting process by current Ward 1 Councilmember Erin Edwards in favor of the Eastside – we hear because they refused to believe her that the homelessness problem in the riverbed was clearly getting better. The nerve of those pesky constituents having different opinions!
Anyway, in keeping with the holiday theme: out with the old and in with the new! And that includes Ms. Edwards, who would later – in a surprise move that no one saw coming – announce last Summer that she would not be running for re-election to the City Council. We here at 30 Miles waited with dread as to which intersectionality candidate with the most (or is it least?) points on the wheel of power & privilege Erin would foist upon us as her handpicked successor. And we waited. And waited. And then we took a nap. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz…..in other words, it was kind of like waiting for her to produce her resume back in 2019 when she first ran for Council.
Riverside Marxist/Socialists ideal political candidate: a poor, old, big-boned, homeless, transsexual, undocumented, disabled, dark-skinned, lesbian sociopath, who doesn’t speak a lick of English and is off their meds.Someone I’m sure you all could identify with!
Finally, when we just about couldn’t take any more of the waiting, a candidate arrived in the form of Phil Falcone(y), a former aide to Mayor Patricia Lock-Dawson, who from what we can tell is about the least oppressed person in Riverside according the Intersectionality Olympics competition guide. Something didn’t quite add up.
Phil Falcone(y): Perhaps there’s some neuro-diversity or mental health issues the kid’s hiding?
It wasn’t his ideology that confused us. He’s 100% aligned with our current Mayor in making sure City Hall’s top priorities – painting murals, flying the right flags, handing out proclamations – are being taken care of. He believes showing more compassion and offering more gifts (and less consequences) to the City’s homeless population and criminals will eventually lead them to becoming productive citizens. And he believes that taking care of our City public employee unions in order to keep morale sky-high is more important than providing services – fixing streets, trimming trees, processing permits – to residents and businesses.
Heck he was even endorsed by the Marxist/socialist front Run For Something. In other words, he stands for almost exactly the opposite of just about everything we at 30 Miles think good government is. We believe making independent judgments based upon critical reasoning skills in order to improve the quality-of-life of the average constituent here should be the focus…BUT WHAT THE HECK DO WE KNOW!?
Runforsomething.net motto: get’em while they’re young and don’t know any better, aka Phil Falcone(y)
Then it dawned on us in a rare moment of clarity that only arrives during a near death experience (like a rotten City-owned tree nearly falling on our house): Mr. Falcone(y), backed by the political elite of Riverside, was the Good ‘Ole Boys’ attempt to co-opt the woke movement – a fake, a sham…a PHONEY. At least Councilwoman Edwards was a true believer in her Marxist/socialist ideology: we can almost respect that; well, if it wasn’t for the fact that if played out it would destroy the State and Country. 25-year-old Phil, on the other hand, and in our experience, will pretty much say anything to anyone that he thinks will get him elected (including stretttttttttttttching the truth as it conveniences him), so that the game continues here in Riverside: special interests scratching each other’s backs to the detriment of the general public. Tails they win; heads you lose. Meet the new boss; same as the old boss!
2016 “Argument for” Measure Z, which increased our sales taxes
One of our neighbors got a close up of this rotten cyprus tree during a recent wind storm: If only we had money for tree trimming, or better, tree removal!
We remembered young Phil from his last run for Riverside City Council in 2019. Fresh off an internship with former Mayor Rusty Bailey, the then 21-year-old was well spoken and impeccably manicured, but with a sense of entitlement towards the position that was only dwarfed by the complete lack of self-awareness that he wasn’t experienced enough to lead nor be effective in the role. Ah …the long-term effects of raising an entire generation of participation trophy winners. With 10 years or more in the real world we figured perhaps he might someday be ready for local office. We wished him well on his journey, as did 80% of Ward 1 voters, who chose the two older candidates to advance in the run-off election that year.
But alas, Falcone(y) is now back, and only 4 years later, and not much different we surmise from before. But for one difference: the backing of our current Mayor Patricia Lock-Dawson and her cadre of political elites. So we at Thirty Miles, semi-retired now with nothing much to do but watch trees fall from our front window, decided to find out what Phil Falcone(y) has been up to recently and inform our faithful followers. And what we found out was, to say the least, interesting. Interesting as to how the Old Boy network chooses their proteges and grooms them for their future use: a symbiotic tale of cronyism at its finest, and all with our money! But we drank, smoked, and gambled too much over New Years, and we need a nap. Look forward to “Phoney Falcone(y) – Part 2” coming soon! THE SUSPENSE!
Young Falcone(y) sings about b______y? Fill in the blank. (Hint: it rhymes with “phoney”)

Instead of protecting the rate payers, his self interest was more important…
DAVE WRIGHT
MIKE BACICH TOM EVANS
CITY OF RIVERSIDE: FORMER RPU/ LADWP ASST. GENERAL MGR. MIKE BACICH AND FORMER INTERIM RPU GM TOM EVANS COULD HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING! INSTEAD THEY ASKED THE COURT FOR LENIENCY FOR DAVE WRIGHT! AGAIN, THEY…. ARE….PART….OF….THE….PROBLEM.
FLASH UPDATE: 01.25.2022: DAVE WRIGHT PLEADS GUILTY ACCORDING TO THE PRAVDA PRESS ENTERPRISE. (WE KNOW WHO THE PE REALLY WORKS FOR!) SHAME ON YOU PRESS ENTERPRISE FOR NOT DOING YOUR JOB! YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPOSE THIS CORRUPTION AT RPU, BUT YOU DIDN’T. YOUR HANDLERS WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RATE PAYERS AND TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE. IT WAS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT THEM. INSTEAD, YOU DECIDED TO CENSOR THE COMMUNITY. NO MORE COMMENTS SINCE THE GAETZ & GREEN EVENT. YOU ARE SIMPLY ANOTHER PROPAGANDA ARM OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE.
FLASH UPDATE: 01.19.2022: FORMER LADWP ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER AND FORMER RPU UTILITIES ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER MICHAEL BACICH IS PISSED! HAS CONTACTED TMC TO STATE A DEFECATION DEFAMATION LAW SUIT MAY BE IN MOTION AGAINST US! HE THREATENS TO DIVULGE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE EMBARRASSING TO US, AND OTHERS THAT FORMERLY WORKED FOR THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE ACCORDING TO TEXT MESSAGES! APPARENTLY HE HAS SAVED DOCUMENTS FROM OVER TEN YEARS AGO FROM THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE TO BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ONLY OTHER PERSON THAT WOULD DO THIS… WOULD BE DAVE WRIGHT! OUCH!! THIS ONLY EXPOSES MORE OF WHO THESE EMPLOYEES ARE! MORE TO COME!
This culture of corruption could have been stopped by principled employees doing the right thing. If you see something, say something. Some did as Jason Hunter and Raychele Sterling, Hero’s for the Rate Payers. The Majority of Public Service Employees did Nothing!
One Tax Payer Hero who did, was former RPU employee Jason Hunter, who attempted to expose corruption 10 years ago, and was fired by directly by Dave Wright. Hunter later filed suit for unlawful firing, and won. He continued to persue since 2011 the activity of Wright and others at RPU.
Employees who raised questions or complained were berated and threatened with termination, according to Sterling’s email.
City officials have denied the allegations, and Sundeen previously said his investigation found them to be without merit.
Sterling was fired May 13.”
Again, Thank-you Former Deputy City Attorney Raychele Sterling for being a Hero to the Tax Payers and Rate Payers of the City of Riverside! They, the City of Riverside, destroyed your reputation and your career, we will never forget you, for doing the Right Thing!

Measure C Election will not be Certified according to Court Ruling. Measure C was illegally placed on the ballot by the City of Riverside and their Union Cronies. Thank-you Community Advocate Jason Hunter and Sharon Matija, unlike the corrupt entities within the City of Riverside and their Union Cronies.
Sharon Mateja, spokesperson for Residents Against Increased Taxes, praised the decision, saying the city tried to “fix an illegal electricity tax by holding an illegal election.” According to Pravda Press Enterprise, City spokesperson Phil Pitchford wrote in an email that Riverside officials “will be evaluating the Court’s decision, upon receipt, evaluating its options, and seeking further direction from the Mayor and City Council.” So the Communist Mayor and the Communist City Council are going to evaluate their options? I can assure them there are none, the jig is up. Admit it you screwed up. You trusted your City Attorney’s Office, and the Residents of the City of Riverside now want accountability. The City of Riverside knowingly violated the law!
It appears that Riverside City Attorney Phaedra Norton has a lot of splaining to do after stating that Measure C was legal. Again Phaedra has had issues of competence in other Cities she was employed at. What residents need to understand is that their is a culture of corruption that has infected our City, our Courts, our Police and every City Department you can think of.
Again we at TMC has explained the issue of ‘Recycled Trash.’ What will happen folks, is that the City of Riverside will devise another scheme to place on the ballot to get their money back from the ratepayers. In the interim, they will retaliate against the rate payers.
“Hopefully our City Council will now see the obvious error of their ways in even defending against our complaint with taxpayer resources, and forgo throwing good money after bad by deciding not to appeal this decision,” Mateja wrote.
“We also demand accountability as to our highly paid staff, who unwisely and unjustly decided to try to fix an illegal electricity tax by holding an illegal election,” she said.
We need also address how badly she was treated by City Officials for taking this position to protect the residents and taxpayers of the City of Riverside. That is another story. If one is an icon in the City, and if you have another opinion that coincides with the City narrative, they will retaliate against you. There are powerful entities with monies that will persuade elects to do otherwise.
The former general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) was sentenced today to 72 months in federal prison for accepting bribes from a lawyer in exchange for his official action to secure a three-year, $30 million no-bid LADWP contract for the lawyer’s company.
David H. Wright, 62, of Riverside, was sentenced by United States District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr., who described Wright’s conduct as “egregious” because Wright – while a public servant – executed an “elaborate and sophisticated criminal scheme” that was motivated by “pure greed.” Judge Blumenfeld also ordered Wright to pay a fine of $75,000.
Wright, who is the first defendant to be sentenced in the LADWP corruption cases, pleaded guilty on January 25 to one count of bribery. Wright served as LADWP’s general manager from September 2016 until July 2019, when he resigned at the direction of the mayor of Los Angeles. “As the leader of the nation’s largest municipal utility, David Wright embarked on a campaign of corruption, including pushing through a no-bid $30 million contract for a company from which he had secretly accepted a lucrative job offer,” said United States Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison. “This ongoing criminal case has placed a spotlight on public corruption that harmed ratepayers while benefiting dishonest officials and unscrupulous lawyers.”
“This case is especially significant given the corruption that was rooted in the highest level of city government,” said Kristi K. Johnson, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “This investigation highlighted the lack of oversight for a $30 million contract and the inexcusable silencing of whistleblowers, amounting to a gross misuse of Mr. Wright’s position and a violation of the public’s trust. The FBI encourages those with information about corruption to speak up and hold accountable public officials whose conduct erodes trust in government.”
During 2016 and 2017, Wright developed a relationship with Paul O. Paradis, 58, of Scottsdale, Arizona, a lawyer appointed by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office to represent LADWP in a lawsuit in which the department blamed the vendor of its billing system for the misbilling of hundreds of thousands of ratepayers. Paradis and his New York-based law firm also held a $6 million LADWP contract to provide project management services in connection with the department’s remediation of the faulty billing system.
By early 2017, Wright and Paradis agreed that – in exchange for Wright’s support of a “no-bid” $30 million contract for Paradis’s downtown Los Angeles-based company Aventador Utility Services LLC — Paradis would give Wright a $1 million-per-year job as Aventador’s CEO and a luxury company car once Wright retired from LADWP.
In exchange, Wright lobbied members of the LADWP board of directors to vote in favor of the contract for Aventador, whose company name was taken from a model of Lamborghini sports car. At the time it approved the $30 million no-bid contract in June 2017, the LADWP board was not informed of Wright’s illegal agreement with Paradis to take a lucrative job as Aventador’s CEO upon retiring from LADWP.
After the awarding of the contract, through early 2019, Wright continued to collaborate with Paradis to build and market Aventador and to seek additional lucrative business opportunities for it — and thus for Wright and Paradis — both inside and outside LADWP. Despite being a public official, Wright used his position as LADWP’s general manager to advertise Aventador’s services at industry events and in meetings and discussions with other industry officials and executives.
By March 2019, Paradis had been forced to resign from his role as special counsel to the City Attorney’s Office. Around this time, the LADWP board voted to terminate Aventador’s contract, but it agreed to retain the company’s services if Paradis sold his stake in the company and disavowed any interest in the company, which Paradis purported to do. In late March 2019, after Paradis sold the company to an employee, Aventador officially changed its name to Ardent Cyber Solutions LLC.
In late March 2019, after Paradis had begun covertly cooperating with the FBI, Wright met with Paradis at Wright’s home and directed Paradis to destroy their incriminating text messages and emails from Wright’s cell phone and Apple iCloud account and to take back an Aventador laptop and wipe it clean. Wright told Paradis that he had already gone through his office at LADWP and destroyed all incriminating physical evidence.
In April 2019, Wright used his position to urge the LADWP board to support a new cybersecurity contract to Ardent for more than $10 million. Wright again did not inform the board of another secret arrangement with Paradis, which by then included their agreement that Wright would receive a “substantial sign-on bonus” of $600,000 or $1.2 million, as well as an increase in his ownership of their company, in addition to a previously agreed-to $1 million annual salary and luxury car.
Paradis pleaded guilty on January 28 to a federal bribery charge for accepting an illicit kickback of nearly $2.2 million for getting another attorney to purportedly represent his ratepayer client in a collusive lawsuit against LADWP related to the billing debacle. Paradis is cooperating with the ongoing investigation into the collusive litigation and corruption at LADWP. Paradis is scheduled to be sentenced on July 19.
David F. Alexander, 54, of Arcadia, LADWP’s former chief information security officer and its former chief cyber risk officer, pleaded guilty on February 8 to one felony count of making false statements to federal investigators probing corruption in the department. Alexander’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 7.
Thomas H. Peters, 56, of Pacific Palisades, the former chief of the Civil Litigation Branch of the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, pleaded guilty on April 5 to one count of aiding and abetting extortion. Peters threatened to fire a plaintiffs’ attorney from a lucrative special counsel job with the city unless the attorney paid a substantial extortion demand from a former employee who was threatening to expose the city’s collusive litigation over its faulty water-and-power billing system. Peters, who is also cooperating with the ongoing investigation, is scheduled to be sentenced on August 2.
The FBI is investigating this matter. Any member of the public who has information related to this or any other public corruption matter in the City of Los Angeles is encouraged to send information to the FBI’s email tip line at pctips-losangeles@fbi.gov or to contact the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office at (310) 477-6565.
Assistant United States Attorneys Melissa Mills, Jamari Buxton, and Susan Har of the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section prosecuted this case.
FLASH UPDATE: 01.25.2022: DAVE WRIGHT PLEADS GUILTY ACCORDING TO THE PRAVDA PRESS ENTERPRISE. (WE KNOW WHO THE PE REALLY WORKS FOR!) SHAME ON YOU PRESS ENTERPRISE FOR NOT DOING YOUR JOB! YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPOSE THIS CORRUPTION AT RPU, BUT YOU DIDN’T. YOUR HANDLERS WERE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RATE PAYERS AND TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE. IT WAS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT THEM. INSTEAD, YOU DECIDED TO CENSOR THE COMMUNITY. NO MORE COMMENTS SINCE THE GAETZ & GREEN EVENT. YOU ARE SIMPLY ANOTHER PROPAGANDA ARM OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE.
This culture of corruption could have been stopped by principled employees doing the right thing. If you see something, say something. Some did as Jason Hunter and Raychele Sterling, Hero’s for the Rate Payers. The Majority of Public Service Employees did Nothing!
One Tax Payer Hero who did, was former RPU employee Jason Hunter, who attempted to expose corruption 10 years ago, and was fired by directly by Dave Wright. Hunter later filed suit for unlawful firing, and won. Again, the Press Enterprise did nothing regarding investigative journalism in order to expose the truth.
Employees who raised questions or complained were berated and threatened with termination, according to Sterling’s email.
City officials have denied the allegations, and Sundeen previously said his investigation found them to be without merit.
Sterling was fired May 13.”
Again, Thank-you Former Deputy City Attorney Raychele Sterling for being a Hero to the Tax Payers and Rate Payers of the City of Riverside! They, the City of Riverside, destroyed your reputation and your career, we will never forget you, for doing the Right Thing!
YEP, THIS IS WHAT HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH, WITH WHAT WAS OUR ONCE GREAT CITY OF RIVERSIDE. THE COMMUNIST ON OUR CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS OUR MAYOR HAVE DONE VERY LITTLE TO DEAL WITH THIS.
YOU FOOLS, HE HAD SO MUCH DRUGS HE COULDN’T BREATH! THIS IS YOUR HERO? NOT TO MENTION HIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY RECORD! I CAN TELL YOU THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE RESIDENTS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS, THEY MAY NOT SAY ANYTHING, BECAUSE MANY ARE AFRAID OF REPERCUSSIONS, JUST LIKE A PUTIN TYPE COMMUNIST COUNTRY. THIS NOT OUR AMERICA, WE NEED TO DO BETTER.
When your Assistant to the Mayor-Press Secretary, Philip Falcone, was contacted regarding the mural, he simply stated, “He (George Floyd) started a movement.” Disgusting! How naive of your staff Mayor Dawson. Falcone obviously has know idea of the real difficulties Riverside Taxpayers are dealing with; not to mention high gasoline prices.
AGAIN THE PRAVDA PRESS ENTERPRISE HAS FAILED TO DO THEIR DUTY TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH! HOW CONNECTED ARE THEY TO THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE AS A PROPAGANDA RAG? THEY HAVE FAILED THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE! IT SHOWS HOW RACIST THE RIVERSIDE CITY COUNCIL ARE, AND HOW THE PRAVDA ENTERPRISE SUPPORTS THIS. INCREDIBLE!

According to the Pravda Press Enterprise, “Riverside Will Ask District Attorney To Investigate Utility Contracts After L.A. Bribery Plea.” Riverside leaders decided late Tuesday, Jan. 11, to ask the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office to investigate whether city utility contracts may have been steered toward certain companies when David Wright was general manager of Riverside Public Utilities. Wright, a 62-year-old Riverside resident who left city government in 2013 and became chief of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in 2016, agreed in December to plead guilty to the federal crime of accepting bribes from a lawyer in exchange for steering a $30 million no-bid contract to that lawyer’s company, a Justice Department news release states. Since news broke about Wright’s plea, Jason Hunter, a Riverside resident who once worked in the city’s utility department, has alleged to officials that Wright was engaged in illegal activity while in Riverside.
Folks, just for the record, this is only the tip of the ‘Ice Berg.’ It doesn’t matter if they,,, cannot come clean, the paper trail of what they did will tell the story!
Again if Pravda Enterprise Rag did their due diligence as journalist in investigating this issue ten years ago, we wouldn’t be at this stage of decrepit waste of tax payer monies. They failed us as the Fourth Branch of Government. The fact that they completely deleted the use of their comment section, shows they are not interested in the communities point of view at large. They don’t work for the community to enlighten them, but they work in protecting a failing City and their failing narrative. They are another propaganda arm of the City of Riverside.
PART I: MARCH 4, 2018: GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS: SCPPA (SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY) ABUSE, MISAPPROPRIATION AND EMBEZZLEMENT ISSUES WITH THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE: Apparently, an audit of SCPPA which was presented to the Governmental Affairs Committee apparently was lacking in the audit component, leading to questions of a cover up of taxpayer dollars. It was to cover three years of spending transaction for years 2014, 2015 & 2016 and all that was received by our brilliant team under City Manager John Russo, was a nice cover page and a page and a half of dribble.
The audit was performed to specifically review monies overseen by former RPU Director Girish Balachandran (A.K.A. Drunk Daddy). Incidentally, worked with current Riverside City Manager John Russo at the City of Alameda, California and in the City of Riverside. Former RPU Employee Jason Hunter questions the audit, and Committee Members agree. While Councilman Mike Gardner has a run for County Supervisor this June 2018, he would simply wish this would go away. Not surprised he wants to push the return of this audit out another 60, 90 to 120 days. While on the other hand Councilman Andy Melendrez seems to say the auditing detail request may have been confusing. Regardless, no one knows where the money went. Why was this so difficult with highly paid staff that couldn’t account for the simple task of accounting for taxpayer money. Is it because the auditor reports primarily to the City Manager John Russo and Cheryl Johannes, Manager of Office of Organizational Performance & Accountability, then City Council? What were they hiding and who were they protecting? Well, TMC knows that answer.
Councilman Chuck Condors seems to imply the audit is like a Leslie Nielsen bit, “Move on folks, there is nothing to see here!” Which leads to the question, what was really going on with RPU under former Utilities Director Girish Balachandran with spending habits concerning SCPPA?
PART II: MARCH 4, 2018: GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS: SCPPA (SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY) ABUSE, MISAPPROPRIATION AND EMBEZZLEMENT ISSUES WITH THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE: Former Employee Jason Hunter continues to question the integrity of the audit, blames staff, primarily Manager Cheryl Johannes and threatens to bring the County of Riverside District Attorney in to investigate. Assistant City Manager Marianna Marysheva defends staff against allegations made by Hunter. First, the Ice Queen insults the public by stating ‘there must be a massive epidemic that is going on here.’ Yes Marianna, the public is angry with nonsense going on at City Hall. The Ice Queen goes on to say that we can question the product, but not staff, staff clearly misunderstood the direction from the committee. What dribble, this is what Russo’s great team has to tell the public, it was a mistake, an error in direction, an error in communication? An error of understanding or maybe a failure to communicate?
She then double downs, and states they follow very specific established auditing standards. Remember that? We heard that before. Very established auditing standards means no audit, not the way you typically think an audit should be. Then she states these audits are reviewed by their peers nation wide, also code word for white wash. It was the same standard when allegation was made of sewer bond fraud, the same whitewashed conclusion was derived. The fact that they raise and continue to raise your sewer fees every year should tell you what really happened to our monies. City Councilman Mike Gardner does the same, and makes a snide remark toward Jason Hunter that you ‘have to consider the source,’ regarding his critique of City Staff.
At the time, Assistant City Manager Marianna Marysheva suggest that the Committee consider bringing in a former colleague Oakland City Attorney/Auditor Courtney Ruby to explain things… Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture? Well let’s make it a little clearer, former City Oakland Attorney/Auditory Courtney Ruby was also a close colleague of Russo. Remember back in 2007 when Russo gave himself a $28,000 raise? The San Francisco Gate stated, “An opinion issued by Russo’s office, however, concluded that both Russo and Ruby were entitled to the pay perk.” This is the person the Ice Queen wants to bring down to Riverside, at taxpayer expense, to tell us hillbillies how it is. Further, Marianna calls her “The Voice of Authority.” Well, Councilman Andy Melendrez takes the bait, and she will be asked to come in and explain things. Buyer Beware that is all TMC has to say…
I guess that is a no, no for the public taxpayer, who is also the “Employer.” The City of Riverside again needs to understand who the boss is, that is you and me, the taxpayer, and taxpayers should not have to put up with this disrespect from anyone within the City by which you pay from your pocket. Rumor is that the District Attorney’s office was brought in to investigate City Manager John Russo’s contract, and hell broke loose with City Councilman Jim Perry and City Attorney Gary Geuss, who blamed Perry for bringing the District Attorney in.
By the way Marianna, the taxpayer has the right to question the staff, because if you haven’t forgotten, we pay your exorbitant salary to do the right thing for the taxpayers, all we are hearing from you are indefensible excuses. The Ice Queen again attempts to skew the blame by her narrative of a misdirected staff.
The question is how do these group of women do their best work to get into position? What do these three women have in common, Kamala Harris, Belinda Graham and Marianna Marysheva? Their track record for moving up the ladder apparently shows they did their best work horizontally as opposed to vertically, unfortunately the horizontal method is one which excels in attaining government positions.
Let’s get down and dirty people. These pieces of garbage have lied to you, first we have a highly paid employee as Vincent Price lie on an Audit to protect his boy friend Dave Wright! Then, what appears as a tag team, Former Assistant City Manager Marianna MarySheva then lies to suggest, another cohort, who they know, Courtney Ruby, to be hired by the City of Riverside to continue the cover up of corruption! We have the receipts people! Receipts don’t lie! These pieces of crap are all in!
Let’s make no mistake, when it comes down to it, Jason Hunter is the Tax Payer and Rate Payer Hero in this event! Thank-you Jason Hunter for doing the Right Thing!

Dave Wright with life partner Vincent Price, “Two Peas in a Pod of City Corruption?”
When it comes to the City of Riverside the commingling couldn’t have taken a more devastating effect to the taxpayer, as it did with this couple. Wright from a prior marriage has twothree two sons, one works with RPD, the other with RPU. A case of nepotism? Probably, but who cares when it comes to looking out for the best interest of the taxpayer. I am being told there is a third child that ended up doing work with Webb Engineering. It appears that the one who works for RPU, had a prior employment with Webb Engineering. The City of Riverside has contractual work with Webb Engineering. Wow, we could probably do another story of “My Three Two Sons.” Update: 04.27.2022: it looks as if Wright has a third son, Spencer Wright who works for LADWP. Yep Dave, you have done well! ‘My Three Sons’ will be your legacy to nepotism and corruption within the public service arena.
Dave Wright was hired by Reiko Kerr when he received his first job with RPU to eventually become RPU General Manager, then retired and left RPU under a devastating cloud of scrutiny. Then took a job with Las Vegas Water and Power, then back where he currently works as head of LADWP. Here he hired former RPD Assistant Chief of Police Chris Vincizo, who is now head of LADWP Security. Hmmm… wonder how his son was hired with RPD? Don’t wonder anymore. He then hires former RPU Utilities Principal Manager Reiko Kerr. to be LADWP’s Senior Assistant Manager of the Power System. Hmmm… gotta wonder how Wright’s other son was hired at RPU? Don’t wonder anymore. He also hired former Riverside City Manager Brad Hudson who now is Chief Administrative Officer of Corporate Services. Former RPU Assistant General Manager Michael Bacich was hired by Wright to again be LADWP Assistant General Manager. All Recycled trash, again we say that because the Public Sector has an open door to corruption and easily attained tax payer monies. The question is, “How has the taxpayer benefited from these high salaries and pensions instituted within the system?” The question that comes to mind, are many of these public servants actually qualified for their positions?
What happens to the minds of public workers when they believe they are above the law? Well they may believe the are above law for whatever reason. This reason becomes the heart of the issue, public employees do not care about the about the taxpayers, they care foremost about themselves, and how much they can receive. Case in point is Dave Wright and Vincent Price. Let’s make no mistake about this. Did we get it right, if we didn’t please comment, we will correct.
Below is the plea deal made by David Wright and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Play close attention to Attachment A. That describes the salacious play by play action Dave Wright was involved in.
“We will get this all done and fuck anybody that tries to get in our way” – Dave Wright, LADWP
But this story continues, his partner City of Riverside Senior Auditor Vincent Price, seemed to allegedly fudge the numbers when it came to City Audits. When Price’s partner Wright was to undergo scrutiny, he was right there to massage the numbers. At the time the Riverside DA’s office was looking at him. Recently, Dave Wright was given the same scrutiny in L.A. when it came to over billing rate payers as in this L.A. Times article. According to the article his departure follows new controversy over the $67-million settlement in 2017 of a class-action lawsuit brought by DWP customers who were overcharged when the utility rolled out a new billing system. Now Wright is embroiled in possible malfeasance with the new FBI raid on his LADWP office. Currently as of July 2019, it wasTMC’s understanding that Wright was squirming under a deposition per PWC (Price Waterhouse Coopers) counter suit by taking the safety of the 5th under questioning having to do with money laundering, bribery, kickbacks, extortion etc. Will the FBI targets SCPPA (Southern California Public Power Authority) next?
According to a quote from Los Angeles Magazine in their article ‘Still in the Dark About the DWP Scandal? Here’s a Primer‘, “During the summer of 2019, the FBI searched the city attorney’s office, as well as the offices of DWP and Kiesel Law, looking for evidence of bribery, kickbacks, and extortion. In the span of a few wild hours, David Wright, then the head of DWP, pleaded the Fifth while being deposed about his involvement in the lawsuit, then literally quit his job.” I as a writer question those he hired to enable his grand scheme.
But, he wrote, “there appears to be potential unauthorized spending by the general managers of RPU through SCPPA.” SCPPA — the Southern California Public Power Authority — is a partnership of 11 municipal utilities, including Riverside’s, along with one irrigation district. It formed in 1980 to provide joint planning, financing, construction, and operation of transmission and generation projects, according to its website.
Wright, who moved on from Riverside in 2013 and will step down as head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in October 2019, was only in charge for two months out of the three years covered by Price’s audit. During that time, Wright used the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) to authorize almost $1.8 million of spending instead of directly asking the Riverside City Council for approval, this is what the investigation report concluded. Is this really a “Tale of Two Cities?”
Its charter limits it to power generation and delivery projects, said Hunter, who was fired from Riverside Public Utilities in 2013 directly by RPU General Manager Dave Wright at the time for exposing fraudulent activity, but Hunter reached a settlement with the city over that termination in 2014.
With that in mind, Hunter learned how expansively officials interpreted that shortly before RPU fired him, when the agency investigated him for not buying an energy product — and used SCPPA to pay for that $7,286 investigation, which the investigation verifies. An investigation against Hunter paid by SCPPA, which of course, the Riverside City Council didn’t know about, or weren’t privy to this activity behind the scenes.
Former City Auditor Cheryl Johannes stated in the comment section of the Press Enterprise, “What was missing from the article (and perhaps in the Nevins report, since he was hired BY THE CITY MANAGER) is that many, many people – several City Council members, Mayor, current Riverside City Manager Al Zelinka and one of his Assistant City Managers Lea Deasing, Deputy City Manager Carlie Myers, many City Manager admin staff, HR Director, and of course past and present Public Utilities managers, and including Susan Wilson in the City Attorney’s Office – KNEW FOR YEARS that Mr. Price and Mr. Wright were “romantic” partners!! At the time of the two audit reports prepared by Mr. Price regarding SCPPA, none of these individuals raised a concern regarding “conflict of interest”. I look forward to the forthcoming audit by a third party on RPU and SCPPA! The full Nevins report on Mr. Price should be made public asap.”
What does the above mean? It mean that multiple people in high positions at the City knew about the romantic relationship between Wright and Price. So I would imagine they would all be complicit to whatever is brewing behind the scenes to this nefarious criminal behavior. They knew it was wrong, but didn’t do anything about it to protect the taxpayer. Someone benefited, not the taxpayer. They found it necessary to only protect themselves. I personally, as all tax payers, should find it revolting.
I went back and countered in the comment section of the Press Enterprise, ” You knew about this, why didn’t you raise the conflict of interest issue, you were Vincent Price’s boss! She (Johannes) then doubled downed and stated, “How do you know I didn’t?? I could write a best seller about all that goes on/has gone on over the years at City Hall, but why bother?? I don’t live in Riverside and happily retired enjoying life.” Yes of course, moved out of Riverside and enjoying life on a highly unsustainable pension. This is how these public servant roll!
At a June 2018 Governmental Affairs Meeting, Cheryl Johannes simply did not concur with local Riverside Tax Advocate Jason Hunter’s criticism of a City Audit report. According to Hunter, City Auditor Cheryl Johannes accosted him in the Council Chamber’s after Wednesdays Governmental Affairs meeting was adjourn and stated, “I’m going to sue you for defecation of character.” Hunter replied, “I don’t believe I ever defecated on you..”
Johannes, City of Riverside Auditor, felt strongly enough of Hunter’s accusation of a ‘white wash,’ referring to the audit number’s, as to threaten a defamation of character law suit, or which she called it “a defecation of character.” Well there is a big difference between Defecation of Character and Defamation of Character. Defamation law suits are difficult to litigate in court, but it could be considered the notorious ‘slap suit.’ A suit in order to silence someone and to make someone financially destitute via the expensive legal process. Will she attempt to do this?
What? City of Riverside Internal Audit Manager Cheryl Johannes found no fraud in dispatcher receiving $257,000 in overtime. Well they may not have been any fraud but I can assure this doesn’t happen in the Private Sector. This is pure negligence and incompetence on executive staff at the City of Riverside to allow this to occur.
Then Interim RPU General Manager Todd Jorgenson stated in 2018 that we may have ignored that $50,000 rule in the past. Which means that RPU illegally spent monies in excess of $50,000 without Council Approval. Are you disgusted, you should be at this point. Here’s the Low Down.
Hunter gives Councilman Andy Melendrez a lesson proper procedure with regard to SCPPA spending. we published back in June 9, 2018. RPU General Manager stated that we may have ignored that $50,000 rule in the past. Hunter makes note that city staff are involved with the cover up of the scheme of executive staff for the City of Riverside.
As with LADWP, voting officials were given bogus information by staff to allow the schemers to pursue a criminal agenda. CITY OF RIVERSIDE: When former City Councilman Adams stated that City of Riverside Staff gave bogus numbers regarding our utility! The majority of City Council decided that the bogus numbers were legitimate and voted to increase the resident’s utility rates! The premise is that staff at LADWP also lied for the executive staff. To protect the scheme. The question is ‘Will there be accountability for the taxpayer’? Usually, because of the corruption within the legal system there is none, as we know it. But as I hear, taxpayers want accountability, not community service for these scumbags … but hard jail time, as they deserve. Below, is another example of elected officials receiving bogus information from city staff. Remember, there is no statute of limitations, once the deception is found the game begins, and the law sets in.
Again, Resident and Tax Advocate Jason Hunter uncovered another deception, and this time, Council can legally be culpable if they continue not to take action. What we find according to Hunter is that SCPPA (Southern California Public Power Authority) in itself is misappropriating funds. According to Hunter, SCPPA can only support ‘facilities,’ they cannot work on such projects as ‘energy efficiency programs or projects.’ The question that arises is that SCPPA was misappropriating funds. The very fact that the process was brought into conformity with City policies, says that process was not following the rules. That with City documents solidifies the argument of misappropriation of taxpayer funds. Hunter considers the audit, performed by Internal Auditor Cheryl Johannes, a ‘whitewash.’ Question remains as this story the tip of the ice berg, and how long was Johannes and staff covering the truth to Council? Also SCPPA was originally set up for ‘facilities,’ not ‘special programs’ and it was used for much, much more unintended uses! Thank you Hunter for exposing the corruption!
Governmental Affairs Committee: March 4, 2018: Apparently, an audit of SCPPA which was presented to the Governmental Affairs Committee apparently was lacking in the SCPPA (Southern California Public Power Authority) audit component, leading to questions of a cover up of taxpayer dollars. The audit was performed to specifically review monies overseen by former RPU Director Girish Balachandran (A.K.A. Drunk Daddy). Incidentally, worked with current Riverside City Manager John Russo at the City of Alameda, California and in the City of Riverside. Former RPU Employee Jason Hunter questions the audit, and Committee Members agree. Again, more Recycled Trash?
City Auditor Vincent Price presents to City Council that numbers of SCPAA audit are in order… yeh right. Council quickly catch on to the discrepancies. Price is at a loss of words, caught in the act?
Roy Bleckert of the IE Newswire interviewed Riverside Community Tax Advocate Jason Hunter on his show this week and here was what he had to say!
I guess I have been coined as a Latino White Supremacist, evidently I’m not really good at it, as my community is telling me, can someone comment to help me be a better Latino White Supremacist? Also cancelled by Next Door, then reinstated, for racist statements I made. That is another Pandora’s Box ready to roost.

Below is the plea deal made by David Wright and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Play close attention to Attachment A. That describes the salacious play by play.
Paul Paradis, the attorney whose company received the contract, agreed last week to plead guilty to one count of bribery and is cooperating with the ongoing federal criminal investigation. Paradis had begun covertly cooperating with the FBI by late March 2019, prosecutors said Monday.
The FBI raided the DWP and other city offices in July 2019, prompting Mayor Eric Garcetti to remove Wright from his job.

Is the City of Riverside Having an Electrical Melt Down? These City People Don’t Give a Dam About You, Except Themselves!
According to the Pravda Press Enterprise, the election certification of Riverside’s Measure C is temporarily blocked till January 2022. A group of residents, calling themselves ‘Riversider’s Against Increased Taxes’ filed a lawsuit back in September 2021, alleging the measure was illegally placed on the ballot because tax measures, under state law, must be brought to voters in general elections. According to the groups attorney, Chad D. Morgan, “Our contention is it never should have been on the ballot in the first place.” Which is correct, the City has no legal authority at a local city level to place a general tax on the ballot. The City knew it and instead, placed it on the ballot as a Charter Amendment, which is also illegal.
Riverside activist Jason Hunter, stated that “he has told the City that the overcharging practice is illegal, and believes judge’s decision will prevail in January.” What the City of Riverside has done is deceive the ratepayers, have stolen money from the ratepayers in the Billions, lied to the the Court, placed an illegal initiative on the ballot and told you will lose City services if you don’t vote on this! This guys are outrageously brazen, sounds similar to a Trans National Criminal Organization. To boot, City of Riverside Spokes Hole Phil Pitchford declined to comment! How about that? Guilty as Charged? What do you think folks? Don’t forget to give me your comments.
First, the fact that the Electric General Fund Transfer Measure, known as Measure C passed under the circumstance of a Charter Amendment Folks, Is Illegal! The City of Riverside knows it and they will be challenged and sued on this action, as they currently are. According to the Pravda Press Enterprise, In a settlement of that suit, the city agreed to seek voter authorization this fall for the practice “as a general tax.” So the City folks, LOL, agreed to the Courts Ruling, but placed the Measure as a Charter Amendment, outright defying the Court! Just Remember, the electoral body of the City of Riverside has lied to you as well, these are the City Council Members and the Mayor Patricia Dawson, who blatantly, supported this measure against you, the rate payers. Don’t ever forget that!
Only in the City of Riverside would you be asked to vote for an Illegal tax in an Illegal Election. So again, Vote ‘No’ on the next Measure Whatever they name the next one? … if in fact it is a VALID election?
Scott Simpson a local Community Taxpayer Activist, was a former Chief of Enforcement for the State of California EPA Department of Toxic Substances Control, and also worked for the Department of Food and Agriculture in their Environmental Hazards Assessment Program specializing in ground water contamination, said this about the legality of the General Fund Transfer Electric Measure, known as Measure C: “The City of Riverside wants you the voters to approve a tax upon the gross revenue of the City Electric Utility. In effect applying a new income tax upon a government agency. This is constitutionally forbidden. The State and its’ municipalities are Sovereign entities exempt from taxation upon its’ government activities. Only the state legislature can do this and they have chosen not to do so. Sovereignty is not discretionary, the City nor the voters cannot wave it. One government agency cannot tax another agency without express statutory authorization – which does not exist for the taxation of income.”
People, that’s why the City will not call it a tax, because they have no legal jurisdiction or right to legally pass a tax. Only the California State Legislature can! That is why Measure C was placed on the ballot as a Charter Amendment. Again they are making the same mistake they did with the General Fund Transfer Water Measure, known as Measure A in 2012. Even if Measure C passes, it will be challenged again…. Simply, because it is Illegal and Constitutionally Forbidden. Our current City Attorney Phaedra Norton knows this, but is misinforming the Council and who ever else who will listen to her.
Here is a list of people including your current City Council Members Erin Edwards, Ward 1; Ronaldo Fierro, Ward 3; Gabriela Plascencia, Ward 5, Jim Perry, Ward 6, even former ousted Councilmember Andy Melendrez, Ward 2 and Current Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson that supported the Community College Measure A. They don’t give one expressed dime of interest of what concerns you, now that they are in office! Their promises died when you voted for them. Here are the Scum Bags you should know about and voted for! Why would anyone vote on a Measure that literally Screwed You?
Remember, the Community College Measure A didn’t pass. You spoke, my Community Family, my Taxpayer Family, but remember, these folks are not part of your Family! You wisely sent the message, of no more money on the Community College Measure A! Take a good long look at this list, these are the people who work in public service or were elected, or have some connection to the Taxpayer Gravy Train. These people also supported the current General Fund Transfer Electric Measure, known as Measure C. They promised to look out for you, the taxpayer, but you should really know now, they represent a different group of people, and it is certainly not you. Remember Folks, the people on this list are not your friends or do they have your best interest at heart as ratepayers and taxpayers… even though you voted for them, they are not fighting for you! They act as if they are your Family, but are not!
Check City of Riverside Pensions below. Take a good look, this is the Gravy Train of Pensions you pay for! It’s Unsustainable, because their is not enough property tax revenue to sustain it. Why? Because the Council are plain stupid! In the Private Sector, these types of pension are never seen. If they were seen, hypothetically, you should be paying way lower property taxes to begin with.
It’s simple folks, the City works like your Household, you have so much money coming in, and you distribute it accordingly to your expenses. The City of Riverside spends money like a drunken sailor, then they come around like a Transnational Criminal Organizational to coerce you to give more money! This is Mafia type organizational tactics. Don’t Give In!
In the future, anytime these Entitled Elitist ask for more money, then threatened you, that your services will be cut. Keep a weary eye! Who says stuff like this? Your Public Servants at the City of Riverside Does! Remember them when election time comes up again. They only want your money! And they want more of it, for their High Unsustainable Pensions and Excessive Salaries!
High and Unsustainable Salaries! In the Private Sector, you have to bring back double your income in order to reflect the cost of your salary and bring a profit back to the company. You would actually have to prove to the company that you are an asset!
City of Riverside Attorney Phaedra Norton states, “Measure C was put on the ballot for the purpose of maintaining general City services as 9-1-1 response, fire, paramedic, police, street repairs, parks, senior services, addressing homelessness and other city services.” Yep, but doesn’t mention the fact that ‘other city services’ such as unsustainable salaries and pensions is what the Measure C is really about. According to this new propaganda ad brought to you by City Contracted Unions. We find, this isn’t about City Services, of which you pay a high price for! …. and according to the constituents… there is no satisfying service. It is about the Public Servants Well Being! You have to ask the question of why these people, like Phaedra, have to High Tail It Out of Cities they worked in, to work in other City’s. Then leave that City, when exposed, then leave to another.
We have seen this happen before, it is not about you, it is who they cater too, and it is not you!
Above, you can see who received the job to print pamphlets the GCC/IBT a.k.a. the Teamsters! Next to the logo, you can find who is “Paid For by Yes on Measure C.” Just Google the Address: PO Box 7817, Riverside, CA 92513. Where does the Campaign for Yes On Measure C reside? LOL! The Riverside City Fire Fighters Association/ Union! Yep Protecting Life and Property, but not your Wallet! Wow! Isn’t Your Wallet Property?
So it certainly looks as if you the taxpayers were simply getting Hosed by the City of Riverside Fire Department! Remember, they don’t like you, they are not your friends! They receive a lot of money for simply putting water on fires….
The Firefighter just found out this person Voted against Measure C
The Tricksters at the City of Riverside have another ingenious way of calling the steal of more taxpayers monies, regarding the General Fund Transfer Electric Measure, known as Measure C…. hope you are sitting down folks, they are calling it “The City of Riverside Services Protection Measure.” We all know it was not about protecting your already bad city services, but the pockets of public employee unions and the pockets of the cities executive employees, oh, let’s not forget their high pensions. So what they are telling us, is that the taxes the City already collects is not enough? Evidently So. By these Water and Electric General Fund Transfers, the City has double taxed us! So What is actually the purpose of a City if they treat the Tax Paying Residents and Ratepayers this way? Good Question.
According to the Front Page of this City Of Riverside pamphlet, they advertise an “Impartial Analysis” of Measure C by newly christened City Attorney Phaedra Norton. LOL, What Gives! Phaedra is another good example of Cities Recycling Trash of their incompetents to other Cities, like, for example, the City of Riverside.
What does that mean folks? Well, the real meaning of Impartial means ” Treating all rivals or disputants equally; fair and just. Independent and Impartial advice.” Analysis means “detailed examination of the elements or structure of something.” As former fired City Manager John Russo, who had a questionable past. It may time to do the same with Norton, simply, because we at TMC knows the game. She is part of the Recycled Trash that continues to invade our City and other Cities, and who continue to challenge your rights as taxpayers. We also saw this explicitly with former Riverside City Attorney Gregory Priamos. Just search Thirty Miles of Corruption.
Here it is folks, the full “Impartial Analysis” by our new City Attorney Phaedra Norton, and I can tell you she is one shyster! Of course it is priceless. The first statement she makes is the following: The Charter Amendment would continue the transfer of revenue from the City’s electric utility fund to the City’s general fund for the purpose of maintaining general city services such as 9-1-1 response, fire, paramedic, police (LOL, actually some of the City Council members actually want to defund the police), street repairs (LOL, how many pot holes did you hit just going to the grocery store?), Parks (Look at how they have been maintained), Senior Services(when have they ever cared about Seniors, Only Their Vote.), Addressing Homelessness (Remember, Homeless People aren’t taxpayers) and other General Services, which lax to begin with. All lies folks. She didn’t even sign the letter, that’s why they redacted it. Who does that? Of course, The City of Riverside Cartel always have something to hide!

In 2012 we went down this road when we sued the City of Riverside. Our focus was to represent the taxpaying residents regarding the General Fund Transfer Water Measure, known as Measure A. It violated Prop 218. The Court found that the action of taking money from the Public Water Utility was Illegal. When we brought it to then City Attorney Gregory Priamos, they pretty much told us to go ‘POUND SAND!’ It didn’t stop there, former Mayor Ron Loveridge, a real bad hombre, also knew about this. We know we are violating the law, “So Sue Us!,” We did, with San Diego Attorney Eric Benink. So what happened? We Won. The City of Riverside violated the law in reference to Prop 218. When you think the City would learn something after this, LOL, they went and did it again! Then Eric came back again to sue the City of Riverside in Parada vs. City of Riverside, and won a standing in 2021 withe regards to the General Fund Electric Transfer, as you well know now. For the record, we, the Moreno’s, never received a penny for services as in the Parada Case did. We worked extremely hard on the Water Law Suit, spent many hours, even days, because we felt it was the right thing to do for the Ratepayers of the City of Riverside. It wasn’t about compensation, but it was all about the right thing to do. It was all about residential rate payers families! While all this is going on the Council and the Mayor are clueless as to what is really going on in their City.
But of course the City never learns, instead of following the law, they attempted to undermine the process and place the current Electric Measure as a Charter Amendment, hence, Measure C. Current City Attorney Phaedra Norton should immediately be fired for misinforming the Council, negligent legal advice and lying to the ratepayers. (as seen in the above letter.)
At the time, this was our accumulated defense against Measure A. The City of Riverside continued to lie to the taxpaying residents. Did they again rig the election? We have no idea. But What We do Know, Is That They Lied, they also violated the Law and the California State Constitution. Just as the infamous Water Measure A in 2012 and was passed under the same circumstances, is also currently being challenge under the same laws.
We even questioned back in 2013 if the General Fund Transfer Water Measure, known as Measure A, was it illegal as written? Well, currently, we found the City of Riverside did the same thing. The Courts told them the General Fund Electric Transfer was General Tax, the City placed it on the ballot as a Charter Amendment, defying the Court. Remember, every time you turn the faucet for water you are being taxed. Every time you turn the switch on your home to turn on that light, you are being tax. How is is that? Public Utilities is Owned by the Public! Go Figure folks, these are not good people who serve you.
Now, as you know, Historically, the City of Riverside owns…. owns our Water Resources in the form of a Public Utility. That means if you purchase a home in the City, you basically have water rights, and should only be charged for what it takes to get that water to your faucet. Also, we have our own Water Board, therefore, the State has no authority to make any rules or laws to alter that. Recently, what has happened, as reported in Pravda Press Enterprise, is the State of California is undergoing an extreme drought. Gee, I wonder why folks? Maybe because they never upgraded or developed new infrastructure to coincide with new developments to handle water needs? You would think! The same argument could be said about wild fires, if you don’t maintain the land properly you have a problem. But, the easy way out is to chalk it up to some fairy tale, called Climate Change.
But I digress, continuing our saga on higher unsustainable salary and pension measures. We went down that road with the Sales Tax Initiative, known as Measure Z. Remember how hard Police Union President Brian Smith fought for Sales Tax Measure Z. Then the City claimed the same problems…. simply, it wasn’t about you the taxpaying residents and your city services, it was all about Pensions. Approximately 80% of Riverside Taxpayer Revenue goes to Public Pensions. When you wonder why your street pot holes are not filled, your trash is delayed and your trees are not properly cut, well it is because these entitled public servants really don’t really give a sh*t. The majority of the City of Riverside Operating Budget goes to Salaries and Pensions; approximately 80%; the rest, if not less, goes to Services to You! Less than 20%. A Big Bone of NOTHING! How many pot holes have you hit today in your City just going to the grocery store? When have your trees been properly cut and how many branches have fallen because of neglect? You can’t even get your trash picked up on schedule.
This is what taxpayers hate! These Assholes enumerating themselves, but not creating any savings or a value to benefit the taxpayers. The reality has set in, these dirt bags have only thought about how many ways to screw a taxpayer. Take a good look at these individuals..they are not your friends or your supporters, they are working to take your money, by any means possible. Here we see these Union People, Tim Strack President of the Riverside Fighter Unions and Dave Austin, Deputy Chief of the Riverside City Fire Department. Oh there’s Tom Hunt of the Riverside Unified Board of Education, what does he have to gain by all this?
The jig is up, everyone knows the scam and it is time to become transparent with the real financial issues facing our fare city. If Measure C passes, as it did, as many ratepayers in the City have stated, was the election rigged? It always seems the ratepayers never win.
Again, they approved Measure O, approved to repair schools. They lied, and instead they are using the monies to build schools. But with the new illegal school projects, which they don’t actually have student counts to actually fill them, continue to be built. This in lieu of recent statistics that the majority of student can barely read, write, comprehend or due basic math. We need to ask those questions to to RUSD Board Member Tom Hunt, Former RUSD Board Member and Current Mayor of the City of Riverside Patricia Dawson.
Even the School Counselor at North High School (She counsels your high school teens!) and current City Council Member Gaby Plascencia who has Two Ethics Complaints and has been deemed a Racist by her verbal statements made on race. But still supported by another race baiting politician non other than Assemblyman Jose Medina. By the way, he was another individual who came out of the Public Educational System, and thinks he knows best for children. Just as his Assembly Bill 101 to make all children in the Public School System take an Ethics Study Course. This will help combat racism, I’m sure that is what he is thinking. In my eyes it is perceived and manufactured racism. I can tell you from experience, I took a course in Ethnic Studies in the 70’s, and it was ‘victimization studies,’ which led to conditioning in Marxist and Socialistic Ideology. That was a waste of time. Oh, by the way, my instructor in the USCLA, was a former Brown Beret. Now these same people are calling “Moi,” a ‘Latino White Supremacist.’ Go Figure! These are the people who are conditioning your children’s minds, folks! These are people who cannot teach your children the basics of how to read, write, comprehend and do basic math, but can certainly tell them what they should think. Agitated yet? You should be.
