“LET THEM EAT CAKE!”
CINDY ROTH: THE CHAMBER QUEEN….. WILLIAM RUSTY BAILEY: THE QUINTESSENTIAL ESTABLISHMENT MAYOR…. By Vivian Moreno 2016
In my opinion, Ms. Roth could be the largest recipient of what we call “municipal welfare” in the City of Riverside. She has created an organization and a lavish personal lifestyle off the backs of the taxpaying Citizens of Riverside. With the help of former Mayor Ron L. Loveridge and current Mayor Rusty Bailey, whom have provided her with taxpayer money to pull off the perfect scheme. It was the perfect scheme. Now Mayor Bailey also needs her help so the money keeps pouring in for his 2016 campaign.
CHAMBER BACK TO THEIR OLD TRICKS? (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
LET’S NOT FORGET THAT THE MAYORS STATE OF THE CITY WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2016 AT THE RIVERSIDE CONVENTION CENTER.
LET’S LOOK AT THE FACTS: Cindy Roth is the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce, AKA “The Mutual Admiration Society.” She has been its CEO since 1999. She received the Frank Miller Achievement Award on May 9th, 2013 from the Mission Inn Foundation. This award is presented annually for Civic Achievement. For individuals who provide outstanding leadership, service and support to the community. OK she may be all that BUT…I think there are many people of organizations that would do the same job if they were paid $10 million in the last 12 years from the City. Would you be a civic leader for $10 million? Hell Yes! Sign me up…
NOTE: Who do you think controls the Mission Inn Foundation? The City of Riverside! The quote in the Press Enterprise states, “Roth, has devoted many years to support the City of Riverside and its citizens.” The quote and opinion from Thirty Miles of Corruption is as follows, “Roth has devoted many years to create an organization off the back of the citizens of Riverside to benefit a select few.” Was this really a Civic Achievement that would be reflective of a true Award Benefit? Or was this a Paid Party from Mayor Loveridge and Bailey to thank Cindy for all she has done for them and their select group of friends?
I thought it would be fun to list some civic leaders that became leaders without the help of $10 million in taxpayer dollars. Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King, Pocahontas, Rosa Parks, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Booker T. Washington. All great civic leaders of our time did it because of the injustices they saw or experienced not because they were paid to do it.
So where does the $10 million come from? The Citizens of Riverside of course. Each and every one of us pays our dues to Mrs. Cindy Roth and the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce. Its hidden in your Trash , electric, and water bill.
NOTE: Right after Mrs. Roth was awarded with all her achievements by the Mission Inn Foundation AKA City of Riv… Her Organization The Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce Awarded her husband, Senator Richard Roth with the Art Pick Distinguished Citizen award.
So why is it so important to pay homage to Our beloved Chamber Queen? Because its that time of year again where she is ready to start reaping the benefits of you the taxpayer. January 28th The Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce will Present Mayor William Rusty Bailey for his yearly State of the City Message to the Special Interest and the ESTABLISHMENT for 50bucks. If you are a citizen who wishes to go and sit in the back of the bus and be CLASSIFIED you can attend for free. You will not be allowed to attend the Queens reception after the Mayors speech.
This very important soiree will be paid for by you the Taxpayer. Our tax dollars and utility payments will pay for the event. These were the 2015 Sponsors for last years event.
SHOULD THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE AND THEIR DEPARTMENTS USE TAXPAYER MONIES FOR PSEUDO PUBLIC EVENTS GIVEN BY A NON-PROFIT, IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY? AS CINDY ROTH SAID WE’VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 38 YEARS! Problem folks it wrong. We have the Riverside Police Department buying a table as a gold sponsor at taxpayer expense. We have the City of Riverside Office of Economic Development buying a table at taxpayer expense. We have the City of Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services buying a table at taxpayer expense. We have the City of Riverside Public Works buying a table at taxpayer expense. We have Riverside Public Utilities buying a table at taxpayer expense! But we as the Public are unable to sit at these tables, we are only able to sit at the “Back of the Bus,” in other words have to sit in the back of the event. Well should we put up with this? Absolutely not! This is government gone amuck!
SPONSORS OF THE 2015 STATE OF THE CITY(CLICK TO ENLARGE).
Opps how did BB&K get in there? BB& K is one of the Local Law firms that will be investigated for possible padding their bills to the city of Riverside, in our current legal audit. If it ever gets off the ground. They bought the table at the Gold Sponsor level, but have infiltrated the very fabric our city for other purposes. Many of BB&K our on boards within the City, or have previously worked for the city, or on the boards of the very entity that the taxpayers own, the Riverside Public Utilities! This is not a good thing after their track record of discord and incompetence in City related issues.
THE STATE OF THE CITY CONTRACT WITH THE CHAMBER
This is the 2015 Contract ,Important dates to be noted…waived! Cancellation penalties…waived! Extra services fees…waived! Rental fees…waived! Miscellaneous fees….waived! Who gets this type of contract at the expense of the taxpayer? No one does! It’s time to stop this nonsense of the elite few which find it appropriate to misappropriate taxpayer funds.
The Chamber Queen gets it all. The tax payer gets nothing, NOT EVEN A $12 refund on your utility bill for being good citizens for conserving water.

If you go to the State of the City Address, wear your boots! I think, with all the $$$s the Chambers has received from the citizens of Riverside, they can afford a cup of punch and a half a sandwich. We dare not ask for a full sandwich for all attendees! Maybe, they may have to go to a day-old bakery for the bread to cut costs. And, it still would not make a dent in the huge Chamber acct! They have more money than the City. They are sitting very pretty! And, how dare us ask how much money that the Chambers has? Simple math. Prove us wrong.

remember in the old days the Mafia has members in each area of government and Courts. Now Cindy is up to her neck in the corruption with the Mayor and his inside team. The team is greed by any means necessary and destroy anyone that speaks out. Just look at the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce. Now you have to look at the way you have to pay for everything and even when your over charged by the Utility company the council says don’t give the citizens the stolen money you took just keep it and do it again in a while. No new jobs as people go to other cities and citizens have to work in other cities because no one is working for jobs in Riverside. Just think Cindy had the business expo at the Mall when professional businesses see a Convention center for real strong professional business. It is like having a business expo in Mom’s basement when it should have been in a professional business area. Nothing will change until the people make the change in their elected officials who will work for the City and the people.
I like your analogy to mom’s basement, Airjackie!
When they accepted that huge loan with a 5 year payback and couldn’t wait to spend it, they smoked screened it and called it, the Renaissance. And, instead of building a proper library, they spent it on entertainment repair! Oh, yes. Future monies to be gained in a small venue renovated with millions of dollars. We are still in the red for that. (Thanks, Ron!)) No one would listen to reason. Ward 6 & 7, did you really ONLY asked for beautification?
The library should have been built opposite the Old Court House. But. Instead, that location will be turned into an eatery venue and block off Main St.
And, throw The Main Library on a corner of Chestnut & M.I.Av. It might as well be put at Evergreen with a proper burial!
Is this what Riverside citizens want? Decisions are being made and very few are speaking out! Let’s have more community meetings with the City and discuss plans for our City. And, the guessing of ideas and seeing if they will fly, they won’t be necessary. Or, bypass the public eye, make a decision, and the public finds out what monstrosity is being built next! Btw, we need to keep a centralized transportation hub and keep RTA and Greyhound right where they are!
At least, I place a higher value on education and the pride of Riverside than those that are supposedly say they know about education. And, again, we are being told what is good for us!
[…] August 16, 2017 Gubernatorial candidate Antonio Villaraigosa will speak alongside Moreno Valley Mayor Yxstian Alberto Gutierrez at the State of the City address. Villaraigosa was someone who took the California Bar four times and failed all four times; he preached to the Los Angeles Mexican Community that “we clean your toilets!,” but turned the City of Los Angeles into just that, “A Toilet.” Tickets for the luncheon are $40 per person, it appears to leave the rift raft out, which would be the taxpayers of the City of Moreno Valley. We questioned the fact that an event held for the public, become a political and illegal side show. Leaving the community out because no one would pay the $40 dollars. We had a similar situation on …. […]
