The RAINCROSS Group Debate, Why won’t they air the debate video……. Because Vivian Moreno was the breakout candidate and Paul Davis was the aggressor…and their golden boy, Bailey, well…….
The RAINCROSS Group’s golden boy, Mayor William Rusty Bailey, LOST the 2016 Charter Debate and now they are refusing to air it because of his failed performance. I had a front row seat, Paul Davis took the right jab for the one-two comb punch then I took the straight-shot right to the truth.
Who are the people that call themselves the RAINCROSS Group?
RAINCROSS Group Mission Statement: Behind every great city is a team of leaders that executes the vision and many followers who support the leader’s work. RAINCROSS strives to address the accountability mechanisms that make sure the leadership is on the right course. Our organizations strive to offer sound strategic support and oversight to keep our city on the right path. Governance, which includes recruiting and development of new leaders on boards and commissions, monitoring systems and signaling mechanisms of transparency, and identifying critical quality of life to sustain higher standard of living. Focusing on good governance ensures the success of leadership visions and the long term success of Riverside.
Listen I have watched this group lie, control, and try to manipulate the message of our corrupt government. They have been in the drivers seat for the last 25 years, well then, they drove us right off the fiscal cliff. We are in the worst fiscal condition in the history of Riverside, and according to their statement these people claim to have put us there. This group is comprised of only those who claim to be the leaders, and those who are their followers. To belong to this group, you have to be invited. People who think like this, is exactly what is wrong with this city.
I was looking forward to this debate because my message was the message that would expose the leadership of the RAINCROSS Group to the real truth about the city. I knew that their elitist mentality couldn’t handle it. It was going to be fun! Tuesday morning May 3rd I woke up early to get prepared for the debate at Charter Communication. This was the debate that was sponsored by the RAINCROSS Group, Charter Communications and the Press Enterprise. I was ready and excited to attend. This debate would be televised in order to have a good account of the 2016 Mayorial candidates. We were all told to be there at 9 A.M. The debate started at 10 A.M. I was there early and was ready to go. I was greeted by some members of the RAINCROSS Group, Charter staff, and a Greater Riverside Chamber Staff member. We were all instructed to wait in a conference room where they had a lovely breakfast spread. Paul, Sally, Nancy, and myself were there on time. We all enjoyed pleasantries prior to the debate. There was no Bailey. His entourage gets there 15 minutes before we start, and he finally strolls in 10 minutes before the main event.
I have to ask, was Bailey’s staff there on City time campaigning for him? Paul Davis’ staff was not there. I asked about it later, and Paul’s camp said they were on city time, and it would appear to be a conflict if they attended the debate. Again there are two sets of rules for Bailey and all others, and in his life he needs an entourage.
The actual debate started at about 10:20 A.M., we are on. I was a bit nervous, but I knew the facts and issues surrounding the city really well, so I was ready to take on Paul and Rusty. When we were all finished, I was satisfied with my performance, as I’m sure Mr. Davis was with his. After the actual filming was done, moderator Brad Pomerance acknowledged each candidate. Sally was first, he said “ Good Job,” then Paul, he said “ Good Job,” then Rusty, he winked at Rusty, then said “Good job,” then it was Nancy, he said “ Good Job.”……. Now I am waiting for my hand shake and “Good Job,” instead!!!!!! Mr. Pomerance grabs my hand and stated very loudly for all to hear, “I like you, I really like you.”…. I WON!
Following the debate, I left after all was finished. It was told to me later that Mr. Pomerance entered the room, and made a comment to the guests that were still there, that he was surprised with the performance of Vivian Moreno. The story goes that Gary Christmas from the RAINCROSS group mumbles something and then brushes me off…. OK Mr. Christmas, I brushed you and your RAINCROSS Group off a long time ago when you were the Measure A (the water measure) lying spokes person for your so called civic minded group.

The Candidates were all told that the debate video would start airing Monday, May 9th. After the 9th there was no airing, I e-mailed Brad Pomerance and he stated it would air Wednesday or Thursday of that week. Those days past, still no video! Today is Sunday May 15th, still No Video Airing…..
Not airing this debate is offensive to the voters of Riverside and to all the candidates who participated in this forum. The RAINCROSS Group is part of the Special Interest problem in this city. Just look at their membership. This clearly demonstrates that they are trying to suppress and control the message, again. This debate was sponsored by the RAINCROSS Group, Charter Communications and the Press Enterprise. Are they all involved in suppressing this message?
Just a quick note: Thirty Miles believes that Bailey will be running for John Tavaglione’s County Board of Supervisors seat in two years. Bailey is a career politician, Riversiders need to put him out of his misery. VOTE ANYBODY BUT BAILEY!
What is also interesting is that Mayoral Candidate Vivian Moreno has a Mayoral Facebook site; but only Davis, Bailey and Melendez were listed as linked.
Don’t Forget to Vote Vivian Moreno for Riverside Mayor 2016!

TMC: Thirty Miles of Corruption 
I would love to see the video but, I am not going to hold my breathe.
Rest assure, we can count on God’s word to not return void.
Rusty and the others will reap what he and they are doing. Nothing escapes God.
Tell Paul Davis to stop lying about the Orange Terrace Library! It was not funded by the parcel tax in the Orangecrest area. The library was part of the Riverside Renaissance. The building even got money from Riverside Public Utilities to make it a LEED project.
The parcel tax that he refers to was established in 1986, and was “voted” in by the big property owners that wanted to do the Orangecrest project, not the individual homeowners. That parcel tax, part of a Community Facilities District (CFD), paid for a sewer system facilities, street improvements, fire station, and an elementary school. In fact, the map that accompanies the CFD labels the parcel where the current community center (also a Renaissance Project) and library reside, as “Future Park by Others 20 Acres.” That is, not funded by the CFD!
So Mr. Davis, stop pitting one ward against another. Your neighbors in Ward 4 did not pass a special tax within your ward to build the library in Orangecrest. Your library was funded by the same property tax increment financing that funded all of the other Renaissance projects and is being paid for by all of the residents in Riverside, not just Ward 4. Stop demanding that downtown residents do something that Ward 4 residents were never required to do.
Kaptalizm I am interested to know where you got your facts so that I can look them up and be more informed. Thanks
Alysia: Thank you for asking. Here is the information:

Paul Davis is all bluster. Start calling him on it.

Charter Communications has been airing the debate on Charter Channel 188 since Wednesday, May 11. It will continue to air through June 5 on the following days and times; Sunday 5 pm to 6 pm, Wednesday 6 pm to 7 pm and Saturday 2 pm to 3 pm. You can also view the debate on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsPGZrE7ppY&feature=youtu.be.
Thank-you Sandra! No one told us where it would be released, I don’t believe it was even posted on the Press Enterprise, one of the sponsors. As we believed, Brad Promerance, during the debate stated the debate video would be made available on the Raincross site. Also, not everyone has Charter, some have ATT etc. We will post via youtube. – Best, Javier Moreno
Very Interesting Info 🤔 Would never Vote for Bailey 😝 He was my Councilman & useless, although he took credit for the Underpasses that had been on the books since before he was born 😤 The Marcy Branch Library still sits empty, which brings no Tax revenue for our area🤑 Bailey also opted to give Us a Glorified Parking Lot on Merrill Ave. across from The Riverside Plaza, instead of a Restaurant Row 🤔 I could go on & on but, Bailey is such a Waste of Taxpayers Time & Money 😝🤑 Did love Davis’s mail ads with Rusty on his trolley car 😂😝
I have to wonder:
How has the Raincross Group gained so much influence over the city government and elected officials?
Where does their funding come from?
