We just received our flyers from Patricia Dawson. Did anyone receive the same? Her flier is on the left. The next one over is our translation. Since this the City of Arts and Innovation, TMC thought we’d produce some artwork of our own.
Back in 2016, in an interview with Brad Pomerance, Riverside USD Trustee Patricia Lock Dawson squirms to explain her district’s low scores regarding reading, writing and math. Pomerance pummels Dawson on the new statistics from the newly released California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Test. As I understand, the new test was under the newly implemented Common Core, which replaced the CST (California Standards Test). Ouchie! Not so good for her district then, and even now the numbers are still below average! So folks, would you consider her a viable candidate for Mayor, running a City with a population of over 325,000? TMC shakes their head a definitive, “no.”
FLASHBACK TO OCTOBER OF 2012: BACK WHEN COUNCILMAN RUSTY BAILEY WAS RUNNING FOR MAYOR AGAINST FORMER COUNCILMAN ED ADKISON! Rusty’s campaign actually stole one of TMC’s photos for a campaign ad against former City Councilmember Adkison! Miserly Rusty still hasn’t paid our requested royalty bill of $2,013.00! Eight years later, with interest, it may be a little more. Sorry Not sorry about that Mayor Bailey! Maybe you will be able to afford to pay your bills now that you’ve helped create a Homeless Industrial Complex – that you will be the beneficiary of – right here in Riverside.
Rusty’s Flyer sent out to residents (left), our flyer redo (right).
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TMC PIC TAKEN AT THE TIME ED ADKISON WAS CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THEN COUNCILMAN WILLIAM RUSTY BAILEY FOR CITY OF RIVERSIDE MAYOR.
WHAT’S THIS? A NEW FLYER ON THE NEW COLLEGE BOND MEASURE A? WOW! THE ‘YES ON MEASURE A CAMPAIGN’ ARE TELLING THE TAX PAYING RESIDENTS THAT “OUR” COMMUNITY ACTUALLY ENDORSES AN INCREASES IN PROPERTY TAXES! THIS COMMUNITY (OR “OUR” COMMUNITY) ON THEIR FLYER CONSISTS MOSTLY OF ORGANIZATIONS DOING OR HOPING TO DO BUSINESS WITH RCCD, UNIONS HOPING FOR PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS, BOOT-LICKING ELECTED OFFICIALS AND GREASED COMMUNITY LEADERS! I DON’T SEE ANY HARD WORKING PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON THIS LIST. WHAT GIVES?

Take a look at these elitist, ‘Yes on Measure A endorsers,’ and you will find that they do not fit the mold of the common taxpayer. But yet they state that the whole community agrees with them! Are these people truly representative of our community at large? No, of course not. These are people who misrepresent themselves, are not the real community of Riverside, but who have no qualms of doing so for their intended political gain. Again, does ‘the end justifies the means?’ In my opinion that is not what America is all about! It appears that this group of so -called “community” message is more likely a means towards financial self gratification! Remember TMC will always sticks it neck out for the taxpayer, no matter how hard the City of Riverside retaliates against us (for example, see: Code Enforcement). Lord have mercy, bottom line, we do it for you! Regardless, here is the rest of the flyer.
ON FREE SPEECH: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND POLITICAL SPEECH:
The purpose for the speech is perhaps the key difference between political and commercial speech. Political speech focuses on the public good, but commercial speech only benefits a single private entity — the seller of the product or service advertised. While commercial speech aims at your wallet, political speech aims at your mind. Because functional democracy depends on the ability of the people to openly debate public issues and criticize government officials without fear, free political speech is judged to be more important than free commercial speech.
The First Amendment broadly prohibits the government from making laws that restrict freedom of speech. Political speech includes not just speech by the government or candidates for office, but also any discussion of social issues. Commercial speech, on the other hand, advertises a product or service for sale. The Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution as providing stronger protection to political speakers than to advertisers.
Since political speech is more important than commercial speech, it stands to reason it would be entitled to the strongest protection the First Amendment can provide. Discussion and debate of issues of public concern can be restricted only in the rarest of circumstances, and the government must have a strong, compelling interest for doing so.

Two weeks ago, we released our story of the Drug Dealers Next Door: Part I. The following is the second part of Author David Silva’s response to the City of Riverside, approximately one year later, which was posted in the Inland Empire Weekly on September 24, 2008. Nothing had been done by the City of Riverside to resolve the drug issue in his neighborhood, which leaves us pondering the question, “Did they really want to?” or “Did they really care?”
In this second Silva article, the author displayed his continued frustration with local law enforcement and local elected representatives. Like the case of David Silva, no one within the City has contacted or given us any direction as to what to do about our problem neighbors. At least you can rely on something in life – government inaction!
On September 19, 2017, Wood Streets resident and former Mayoral Candidate Vivian Moreno went to the City Council meeting to bring the lingering and current neighborhood issue of the Drug Dealer Next Door…with an added twist, prostitution! Yep, the other night the Wood Street residents had the pleasure of hearing the annoyance of the Wood Streets King Pimp not being paid correctly by one of his employed working girls. Yep, right in the front yard without any fear of anyone knowing what they were talking about.
Keep in mind this issue had been brewing in our neighborhood for approximately 5 years and gets worse by the day, so I guess it was the natural progression we should’ve expected…and accepted?
Moreno came to Council to declare that she is required to have business license in order to do business in the City of Riverside, but a drug dealer or prostitution ring does not. So why should she? If the City allows an illegal business to operate, why should she continue to comply legally with a City that cannot protect legal businesses from the illegal ones? She tore up her business license in front of them. Much like Silva, it was an attempt to call attention to an unresolved issue by petitioning her government.
However, we conclude David Silva must be right: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Besides having unsafe neighborhoods for our children, our seniors, our taxpayers, we still cannot get our trees appropriately cut, our pot holes filled. It has been clearly evident for many years now that the City of Riverside cannot provide even the most basic services to our community, who are now paying through the roof (Utility Users Tax, General Fund Transfer, Measure Z, etc., etc.), and for what? Certainly not safety. Our neighborhoods continue to be put at risk by the inertness of our law enforcement and leadership. It happened ten years ago; and it’s happening now with no remedy in sight. The same fools sit on the dais within the Art Pick Chambers; and Chief Sergio Diaz’s highly-paid, crack narcotic squad has done what? [crickets]
THE DRUG DEALERS NEXT DOOR: PART II: BY AUTHOR DAVID SILVA:
INLAND EMPIRE WEEKLY SEPTEMBER 24, 2008
It’s been nearly a year since I wrote about the drug dealers operating next door to my house [vol. 2, issue 25 cover], and if you’re wondering how the guys are doing, let me assure you they’re doing just fine.
Franco (not his real name, but drug dealing is illegal, you know) recently installed a carport awning to protect his trade in bad weather. Brother Mario (another pseudonym) is on what appears to be his fourth new car since Christmas. Say what you want about these guys (and lord knows I’ve said a lot—to the Riverside police chief, the mayor, the city’s crack narcotics unit and the Weekly’s readers), they’re single-handedly keeping the local auto industry afloat.
Yes, these boys have struck gold, and the rest of us are green with envy. While no less than seven “for sale” signs can be seen on front lawns up and down the block, the dealers next door are in home-improvement mode. While the rest of us sleep in shifts in case some addled tweaker tries sneaking through the bathroom window, the dealers sleep the untroubled sleep of the dead, their persons and their stashes safe behind wrought-iron doors and the sign on the front that reads (I kid you not) “Do not ring after 10PM.”
Of course, there’s always the remote possibility that the dealers really should be more worried that, at any minute, Riverside’s crack narcotics unit will come crashing through those reinforced doors. But who are we kidding? If the police were going to put a stop to all that illicit activity next door, they would have done so by now.
As I wrote back in October, my non-dealing neighbors and I tried repeatedly to draw the city’s attention to the situation next door, going so far as to arrange a neighborhood meeting with one of Mayor Ron Loveridge’s deputies. The deputy listened wide-eyed to our story and jotted down notes into a little black notepad, which he then tossed into a briefcase where, I imagine, it remains gathering dust to this very day. Nothing was done.
By the time my column appeared, I had called the Riverside PD three separate times to complain about the dealing next door (not counting follow-up calls to check on the status of the complaints). Since October, I’ve called the police and City Hall three more times, each time being told that the department had no record of any previous complaints, and each time being assured that the department was now right on it. One of those calls resulted in a callback from Riverside Councilman Frank Schiavone, with Police Chief Russ Leach sitting by his side. Both Schiavone and Leach assured me that the city took such complaints seriously, and that they were right on it.
Nothing happened.
This has been going on for three years now, during which I often wondered why the Riverside PD would put up with an open-air drug bazaar operating in a residential neighborhood just three blocks from three public schools. Drug busts are great PR for the police, and right here was a major bust just begging for the cops to walk up and slap the cuffs on it. So why didn’t they?
Early last month, I finally learned the answer to this nagging question: It wasn’t that the police didn’t want to bust up the drug house next door. They just couldn’t find it.
“According to my computer,” said the officer who took my sixth (and, I swear to God, last) complaint, “the street address you gave me doesn’t exist in Riverside.”
“Well, that’s odd,” I said. “I’m looking right out my front window and there it is.”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh yeah, it’s right there. Maybe you should check again.”
He did, and again declared the address didn’t exist. Back and forth we went, with me insisting the street address of the drug house next door to me existed, and the officer insisting that it didn’t. Finally:
“Found it!” he said, sounding well pleased. “OK, we’re on it. The Police Department takes these calls very seriously.”
After three years, six complaints, a meeting with the mayor’s aide and a conference call with a councilman and the city’s top cop, the Riverside Police Department’s crack narcotics unit finally located my neighbor’s house on a map.
More than a month later, the dealing next door has continued unabated, and if there are any cops snooping around, they’re wearing invisibility cloaks. The only thing that’s changed around here is my attitude toward the neighbors.
“How’s it going, Franco?” I shout when I go out for the mail. “Yo Mario! Nice new Prius, buddy!”
If this is how the city of Riverside wants to wage its war on drugs, I might as well be on friendly terms with the winning side.

FROM THE DESK OF LOCAL RIVERSIDE RESIDENT, ACTIVIST & COUNCIL CANDIDATE, KEVIN DAWSON, REGARDING NEW LIBRARY DESIGN:
“UGLY” THE COMMON TERM TO DESCRIBE THE MONSTROSITY TO BE KNOWN AS THE NEW RIVERSIDE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY.
The $10 million over run is to elevate the building so people from the Fox will hopefully walk under it to get to the Culinary Institute. That’s $10 million for a walk way! Why don’t we just use $1 million to buy coupons to the Culinary, that we could hand out as incentives to Fox patrons to walk around a less exspensive library building on the ground? Of course I’m just joking. This is a ugly, over priced building, loaded with gimmicks that will become dated looking like the horse collar grill on a Ford Edsel. Unlike a car, we won’t be able to trade this lemon in a couple years after we realize we made a mistake. Also, the city has been cutting the library budget for years. They’ve let go all the professional staff that had library of science degrees and cut way back on programming. The current main library is denuded of books. The city is not going to restore funding with this new building. This project is based on lies and manipulations. The head librarian gave as reasons for needing a new building, that the current building was too big and that the pillars ruined the sight lines. They said it would cost almost as much to remodel the current building as building a new one, so why not build a new one. But then when they proposed the Discovery Cube would go in the old building, the remodel cost dropped to $10 million. When the Discovery Cube dropped out and the Cheech Art museum was proposed, they now say it will only cost $5 million to remodel the building. I say we should remodel the current building for the $5 million, and keep it as our main library, saving us $35 million! Measure Z was sold to the public as being needed for “needs” like public safety, and not wants like a new library. I want to support the library but not like this. If they have an idea for a great, inspiring new building, put it before the voters, and ask us to support the project based on its merits. Ask us to prove our support by our willingness to pay for it through a special acessment tax. That way, a crappy design will die the death it deserves, but an inspiring design will prevail and be supported by a proven majority. The people in San Francisco were so inspired by the Palace of Fine Arts, which had been built to only last a couple of years for the 1915 Panama exposition, that they voted to tear it down and rebuild it as a permanent structure. The Palace of Fine Arts is great example of inspirational artitecture and something that would compliment the mix of classic historic structures we have downtown, but an example of how to be bold, without being offensive to the surrounding neighborhoods. Our city is on the road to making a mistake but it’s not too late to change directions. We should not move forward with this design because people are tired, and just want to “get it done”. We should not move forward, just because we’ve already spent money on this design. Ugly needs to be called out for what it is, and this is an ugly building.
Let me also comment on councilman Gardner’s motion to approve, where he said he was making the motion to approve because he thought “the people of Riverside were ready, evidenced by the number of speakers who came to speak.” Really? The room was almost empty and hardly anyone was there to speak, unlike the night the council voted to move the library, and the room was packed. That night there were 80 speakers and a petition signed by almost 800 people saying don’t move the library. That meeting went until 1AM, but in the end, the council ignored the public, and approved an expensive project, without ANY discussion of how to pay for it. It was only later, they presented Measure Z. And while Measure Z was generously passed by voters, our city is still not out of financial danger. I believe our financial problems are what is driving the proposed utility rate increases. Our city has a electric and water fund transfer of 11.5%, that gets transferred straight into the city general fund, where it can be spent on anything. So, if the City Manager says the rate increase is not about more money for the General Fund, ask him if he would agree to not take a transfer from the rate increases, and see what he says. – Kevin Dawson
NEW RIVERSIDE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY (CLICK TO ENLARGE)
With $60 million in unfunded future pension liabilities, Council, with the help of City Manager John Russo, overrode the community dissent that night, over-allocating funds for a new library. Proving the establishment elite have an agenda, and your dissent for the project in public comment was only a legal formality they had to bear before moving on to a pre-determined decision.

Today is the day….. As I sit silently in my living room and reflect on the years I have been writing for Thirty miles of Corruption, I can’t help but wonder what got me here…..Vivian Moreno
Briefly I will try to explain. When I became very curious about what was going on at City hall I was dumbfounded with all the corruption I witnessed and discovered. The Corruption was diabolical, the waste, fraud and abuse was hideous, and the SEX GAMES, Relationships and the dehumanizing of Women was so in-your-face that I needed a place to put all this information. WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT!
I have been holding on to this particular story content for years. The content was so offensive and unbelievable even for me. I was waiting for the right time to post this information. And here we are November 2016 Presidential Election, SEX as the number one topic of consideration in nominating the right choice for president of the United States Of America. Trump with all his offensive banter and Bill Clinton with all his indiscretions. Never in my wildest imagination could I have believed this to be so!
Today with the highted dialog of sex and the dehumanizing of women on the National Stage, I was compelled to tell this story. Do the Citizens of Riverside even care this has been going on at City Hall for years-decades? Do the citizens of Riverside even care their tax dollars pay for all the Frat-Boy-Fun at City Hall?
I have written about some high level promotions at the City of Riverside, California….women who we’re promoted simply because they had sex with their boss and were being good soldiers. It’s a dog eat dog world at City hall and I mean that literally. The first article I wrote for TMC was the “Love Contract” I had heard rumors of swingers, affairs, and sex promotions going on with high level leadership, and I wanted to make sure the tax payer was protected.
DISCLAIMER: This article is rated-R (18+), not suitable for people under 18. Content is STRONG in impact; It is advised that people under the age of 18 do not view the content, due to the strength of the elements within. The Official City of Riverside documents contained in this article are explicit, sexual in nature and should not be read by children. Yes Folks, you the taxpayer, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Tea Partiers, and those of you who just don’t give a dam, Pay for all of this at Riverside City Hall. These are the PERKS!
DEDICATION: This new article I am writing will be dedicated to the special interest here in Riverside, The Greater Riverside Chamber Queen Cindy Roth, the Rain Cross group and the local media The Press Enterprise. These people have their heads so high up the ass of the city it’s disgusting. They will, and have supported all new taxes and continue to try to cover up all the really deep dark secrets hidden at city hall. Remember you the Taxpayer, Citizen, Female, Male, Republican, Democrat, Independent or Tea Party, pay for all the waste, fraud, abuse , and the DEHUMANIZING of women at Riverside City Hall. These people all knew it and didn’t do anything about it! Their Pathetic….
Here we are in the once quaint quiet town of Riverside California. The day I walked into the Council Chambers in 2010, to speak before the Council I’m sure I took them by surprise. I wasn’t afraid, ashamed or lacking the confidence to tell it like it was. I asked about rumored affairs that were going on. I felt everything was on the table as long as the tax payer was paying for it. I spoke about sexual relations that caught everyone off guard. The City pulled the infamous video from the public where I spoke of a sexual encounter and the leadership at City hall couldn’t handle it. The City Manager at the time Lee Mac Dougal, he tried to demean and discredit me with his comments. Little did he Know I had all the information on his sorted past. The hypocrisy spilling over from the dais was off the charts . They thought they were going to shame me….REALLY, HOW DARE THEY!
Here is the Video Where I refer to the sexual escapades of some employees at City Hall.
I will set up this first OFFICIAL CITY document: Tax Payers in Riverside paid Millions of dollars to this claim In lost productivity, Moral, Time card fraud, and the actual Lawsuit itself , this was circa 1996: This is your…..RIVERSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT( RPD), Defendant Ron Adams, you remember Councilman Steve Adams’s brother? Does this all come down to just Boys being Boys or is this politics as usual….. As the spoken words just preached by Mrs. Michele Obama, “This is not politics as usual,” ah Yes it is Michelle! …. in Riverside it is. In this document you have both the dehumanizing of women and lewd sexual acts performed on officers during work hours. That’s considered time card fraud. (Getting Blow Jobs on work hours with clerks in the office is not allowed). We the taxpayer paid this claim handsomely , the women in this case was fired and the officers were promoted and climbed the ladder of success. And I’m sure these officers we’re later regarded as upstanding respectable public employees. WOMEN OFFICERS OF THE RPD WERE REFERED TO AS “THE PUSSY PLATOON,” (Page 5, 21). Two female officers to a patrol car was referred to as the “CUNT CAR.” In 1989, when Keers yawned in the bay, Detective Ron Adams (Councilman Steve Adam’s brother, prior police officer), commented, “Look her mouth is open, she must be trying to get promoted.” Nice Ron! The Posted Lawsuit was Settled 1996:
This set of Official Documents are the Pictures/Cartoons that were left on female officers desks. I have to ask who was taking care of the safety of the citizens in 1996?
Current Claim 2015 Official City of Riverside Documents, this time CODE ENFORCEMENT: Not much has changed in 10 years. The culture of sexual Corruption has been ongoing. This Frat-Boy-Mentality had created a huge financial liability for the taxpayer. This Claim itself will and has already cost the taxpayer tens of millions of dollars in lost productivity, Moral, Time card fraud, Oral sex during work hours with interns, and the actual Lawsuit itself . Three women have endured this repulsive treatment for 10 years. This suit claims these women were asked “ Who would you like to Marry, Fuck or Kill.” Who thinks about murder during work hours? Is this normal Banter? “WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO KILL!” Make no mistake about it they wanted to know which employee they wanted to kill…..MURDER…..
As an involved Taxpaying, Voting , Republican in the city of Riverside I was shocked with all the self gratification going on …….Sex-in-the-City parking lot, in city automobiles, blow jobs during work time with interns. Couldn’t these officers do this after work?
Just the 2015 Lawsuit alone will cost the taxpayer approximately $5 million dollars, it could be more. This suit is still going through the court system. This may partly explain why the City desperately needs more money. The taxpayer needs to or will be forced to Pay for all the STUPID MISTAKES, SEX PROMOTIONS WITH INCOMPETENT PEOPLE, SEX BANTER AND JUST PLAIN BAD BEHAVIOR that has been going on at City Hall for decades!
I don’t care and I’m sure many taxpayers don’t care either, if you want to be swingers, have affairs or receive Blow Jobs, do it after work on your own time. The Taxpayer should not have to pay for this Vulgar behavior. The Demoralization of women at City Hall continues……..POLITICS AS USUAL IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA!

FORMER RIVERSIDE MAYOR RON LOVERIDGE STILL PERFORMING. DID MOVAL COUNCILMEMBERS GET THEIR POSITIONS BASED ON A LIE? TMC SAYS ‘YES’ IN PART ONE OF THE STORY.
The Moreno Valley Recall Circus is coming back to town, this time featuring Council puppets George Price and LaDonna Jempson. The with Master Puppeteer? Former Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge……………..WHAT!?
Recall Moreno Valley started up again in full swing a couple of weeks ago when Councilmember Jeff Giba was served with Intent to Recall documents. These papers were proudly served to Mr. Giba by the Peeden twins. TMC happened to be in that meeting when the hoopla commenced. It was all great theater.
As our nine (we are steadily growing our membership) regular readers know, we at Thirty Miles love us some drama, so we raced right home and read the recall papers. What great scandal had been uncovered for us to salivate over? To our disappointment, the argument on the recall petition was weak. It essentially said, “this isn’t anything about what Giba did, but what we don’t like about Iddo.”
It seems the petitioners can’t make up their mind about a solid message. I have no doubt that these people will get really BIG MONEY behind this recall however … just like the really BIG MONEY they said Iddo legally put behind the candidates that he had every right to support. The message of this recall should be: MY MONEY IS BIGGER THAN YOURS! Seems a bit hypocritical to us here at TMC.
At the May 24th, Moreno Valley City Council meeting we asked the million dollar question that everyone was dying to know: “Are Councilmembers George Price and Ladonna Jempson involved in the recall of Councilmember Jeff Giba?” There is a perception within the public that they are. And who else could possibly be involved? Surprise, suprise…could it be former Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge? Is the master manipulator of Riverside County again pulling the strings and letting his students to do his dirty work, akin to a Political Science/Public Policy assignment in Recall 101? Would Mayor Luv attempt to manipulate Moreno Valley politics for the benefit of Riverside?
Let’s take a look at George Price. Price was the Parks Director at the city of Moreno Valley for a number of years. We have observed that many of the public documents regarding George Price’s tenure with the City have been very difficult to obtain. In our experience that the best indicator the City has reason to cover something up. So what exactly is it? Mr Price ran his campaign on the message, “I want to bring back respect to people on the Council and the residents who come up to speak,” Our response is: show us all the documents so the R E S P E C T can start.
Ladonna Jempson was actively involved in the recall of Victoria Baca. On her Facebook page she is against the World Logistic Center, but at the same time is supportive of the 1000 jobs at the MoVal Amazon facility – starting pay, $12 per hour. Isn’t Amazon a warehouse too? She also is closely connected to the Facebook pages that are in favor of the current recall of Mr Giba.
We don’t believe Mrs. Jempson is actively engaged in this process, but we don’t think she would mind if it were successful either. Our advice to Mrs. Jempson: be careful of who you think your supporters are. These people will turn on you in as heartbeat. It happens to very good people/politicians at the time in this neck of the woods.
So what’s this recall really about? On November 5, 2014, when Corey Jackson went to bed, he believed he had won the race for District 2 of Moreno Valley. His dream was that Mr. Price would be the Mayor and he would serve as the Mayor Pro Tem. The 3-2 voting block was established as Price, Jempson, and Jackson. They would have voted against the WLC and all the western Riverside County leaders would’ve been so proud of them for doing what they think was right for the region, but not necessarily what is right for Moreno Valley.
Unknowingly, these three would have just been the puppets for former Mayor Ron Loveridge and his buddies, so the real leaders of the County could get plans underway for their own March Joint Powers Warehousing District. The City would benefit from all the impact fees, new tax base, and would be heroes for bringing all the jobs back to the region. We guess that wasn’t, “God’s Plan,” though, because Corey Jackson lost and the Iddo Benzeevi rhetoric began shortly thereafter.
Their recall message seems loud and clear: it’s nothing personal about Mr Giba .. it’s all about Mr. Benzeevi and his bucks, and how he chooses to spend them on the political process. We don’t really see this as any different than the Sheriff’s Union getting behind their candidates for a pay raise for all their members (which by the way was bestowed upon them a couple of weeks ago). Long ago we learned that around here there are two set of rules: one for the haves and one for the have-nots. Out of this system has grown two kinds of politicians: those that support the people and others that supports the HAVES.
Corey Jackson for Moreno Valley District 2 City Council November 5, 2014 • WE WON! Before I go back to sleep after a long campaign night, I want to thank God for giving me this gift of service. Thank you too my campaign manager George Hammonds for putting up with me. Thank you to George Huerta, Edward Olmedo, Darrell Peeden, Daniel Peeden for their love and countless hours. And of course to the voters of the 2nd District for trusting this “little punk” to represent their voice and improve their quality of life. I want to congratulate my fellow candidates on good campaigns and respectfully ask them for their support and participation moving forward. Thank you and “Good Night”
Corey Jackson for Moreno Valley District 2 City Council November 21, 2014 • I am regretfully announcing that we did not win this election, we lost by 7 votes. We put everything we had into this campaign in order to move the City of Moreno Valley in the right direction. We knew at the beginning that defeating Jeffery Giba and Iddo Benzeevi was going to be very difficult. It’s no secret that Iddo Benzeevi ran Jeffery Giba’s campaign for City Council through two separate Independent Expenditure Committees, one of which specifically opposed my candidacy. These Independent Expenditure Committees injected over a quarter of a million dollars into Jeffery Giba’s campaign for City Council, resulting in Iddo successfully placing his candidate on City Council. However, this doesn’t have to be the final result. We still have 5 days to request a recount. We have another chance through a recount to turn the votes in our favor. Can we count on you to help us raise the $6,000 needed for the cost of the recount? I’m not able to finance this recount myself. I’m humbly asking for your help, please help me raise the money for the recount. If you will commit to helping please go to https://coreyjackson.nationbuilder.com/donate and make your donation to the recount.-Corey Jackson
You can see in Jackson’s Facebook posts that the money that Iddo donated to the candidates of his choice really only mattered when Jackson lost the Council race. So I ask, are the recalls rational, or just sour grapes?
Was Mayor Luv calling the Council Members of Moreno Valley stupid? Does he believe they are too stupid to make a decision as complex as WLC? The following was a January 2015 KVCR podcast interview with former Mayor of Riverside, Ron Loveridge, in which he states that Moreno Valley leaders may be too immature to take charge and lead a city of 200,000.
Was Loveridge talking down to them, or was he jealous of MoVal’s potential in his own elitist way? Regardless, he called Moreno Valley, “immature.” We looked at Thesaurus.com to find synonyms for immature: babyish, unsophisticated, premature, ‘wet behind the ears’, underdeveloped, sophomoric (meaning, “wise fool”). We don’t believe the proud citizens of Moreno Valley should take this sitting down – dems’ fighting words! It appears to us that what Loveridge really wanted to say was that Moreno Valley leadership is just plain, “stupid,” to make proper leadership decisions, which will direct the City towards prosperity.
Mayor Luv loves his jargon. He speaks extensively towards the topic of, “social collateral.” So what is this “Social Collateral”? In his distorted mind, it’s groups like Cindy Roth and the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce, The Monday Morning Group, The Lincoln Club, The Raincross Group, and a host of others who would gladly reach into your pockets and take a fistful of dollars via City Hall backroom dealings.
It is these groups that suck the money out of the taxpayer so they can keep their candidates in office. Its all about the favors, you’d be wise to not make any mistake about it. You see … Iddo’s money is dirty, while the money that Cities funnel to these chosen groups are clean. [insert Joe Isuzu pic here] Once again: two sets of rules.
To be continued… This article is part 1 of a 3-part series, which will tie together March Joint Powers, the County Board of Supervisors, the Peeden Twins, Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey, former Moreno Valley Council Member Bill Batey, Moreno Valley Residents For Sustainable Development and many, many more….oh, what a twisted web we weave.

A bit of concern came forward the other day with emails from the community who were for the most part, taken back, after viewing the City Council meeting on the internet. City-supported presenters that came forward to address the Council were filmed in a way one would normally expect, as seen below from Council Chambers on January 29, 2015.
But when it came to public commentary, a funny thing happened: the camera angle was switched to view the public (many of whom are critics) from the rear of the Council Chamber. This action sends a personal message to the community: you don’t matter. Your voice and personification is so far away that what you have to say is not important nor worth being heard.
Not only was it so far away, but now viewers at home could only seeing the backside of the public. Questions arose if this was a tactic by City leaders to diss or demean the public. Just when it appears that the City is connecting better with the public, you get this. We found that this was interim City Manager Lee McDougal’s call, and will remain so until further notice. According to the PE, Alicia Robinson reported the following on City Manager McDougal.“It was my order, yes,” McDougal said. “The meetings are City Council meetings … . I believe (council members) should be on camera because they should be the center of attention at the meeting and not necessarily the speakers.” So was this all Mr. McDougal, or could he of had a little push from our Mayor? Regardless, we’ll take from this fiasco a positive: a reminder to follow through with our New Year’s resolutions to renew our gym memberships, so our backsides are more pleasing to the audience at home.
Lets review how the past rules of decorum have been enforced at City Council meetings to see if we can establish a pattern…First, by order of former City Attorney Greg Priamos, the City arrests public speaker Karen Wright for going over the three minute rule by a few seconds, but later Mayor Bailey allows former Mayor Loveridge to go well past the three minute rule to talk about his brother. Second, Mayor Bailey has former BB&K Attorney Letitia Pepper arrested for clapping. Now Mayor Bailey is the brunt of her First Amendment law suit, and clapping is allowed in Council Chambers, even for those supporting critics of their government.
Now there’s an attempt to continue to intimidate, disrespect and insult the taxpayers by filming them from behind, and I must say WAAAAY behind. But not in the City of Moreno Valley: they film you right up in your face and in HD, and live during Council, not the grainy, blurry filming Riverside uses. So again, I ask CM McDougal if he would like to change his statement? Just when you think that the new improved City Hall is really listening, are they really walking the walk?
STATE OF THE CITY: A PUBLIC AFFAIR OR JUST ANOTHER MONEY MAKING BOONDOGGLE FOR THE CHAMBER? We asked the question, why should the taxpayer have to divvy out monies to subsidize non-profits? Most non-profits raise the money for events through private sector contributions. Therefore, we have seen this time and time again, and we wonder why are streets aren’t fixed, why are trees are not cut and why we still don’t have a City Library.
HOW YOUR UTILITY BILL SUPPORTS THE CHAMBER: FOLLOW THE MONEY. The Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) is recognized as an Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c)(6) organization. Unlike a 501 (c)(3) organization, whose primary purpose is to serve a religious, charitable, scientific or educational purpose, the Chamber serves the best interest of its membership. It’s membership consist of a select group of businesses. Most of these businesses are customers of Riverside Public Utilities (RPU). The current General Manager of RPU, Girish Balachandran, under Section 1202 of the City Charter, has the authorization to negotiate and execute contracts with individual retail customers for water and electric utility service. He also has the power to offer many intangible benefits to customers. Mr. Balachandran serves on the Board of Directors of the Chamber.
Balachandran’s predecessor, former General Manager Dave Wright, back in the salad days of giving away ratepayer money, also chose to serve on the Board of Directors of the GRCC. As a board member, both had a duty of loyalty to the Chamber as defined under California Corporations Code Section 7231 (a): in essence, they must put their interest before that of the any other entity. It is not infrequent that GRCC lobbies the City Council on issues affecting RPU, and endorses City Council candidates whom have jurisdiction over RPU. This answers many questions regarding Measure A and the Soubirous Hearings. The Chamber, we believe, was in part responsible for the Soubirous crucifixion regarding his position on Measure A. His position would not favor GRCC’s true agenda.
The City’s Conflict of Interest Policy states that an employee maynot have a personal interestwhich would tend to impair independence, judgement or action necessary to pursue the City’s best interest. This tenet is codified as law under Government Code Section 1126 (b) of the the State of California. Conflict of interest laws attempt to discourage not only biased-decision making not serving the public interest, but also the perception of such bias.
To wit, Resolution No. 22676 of the Riverside City Council, states, “the City Manager, City Attorney, and the City Clerk shall not serve as a member of the board of directors of a non-profit corporation which is receiving or will be reasonably likely in the future to seek and/or receive funding from the City of Riverside so as to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest,” thereby establishing intent of the policy. Obviously our utility managers seem to believe the rules that apply to their boss, need not apply to them…

It has been well-known for some time that the Chamber receives taxpayer funding from the City of Riverside. What has been much less known is the amount of funding the Chamber receives directly from ratepayers, under the signature authority (i.e. no public vetting before the Board of Public Utilities or City Council) of both Mr. Balachandran and his direct subordinate, Michael Bacich, the Assistant General Manager of Customer Relations and Marketing. These funds have been paid via the request-for-payment process that has until recently been kept hidden from the public disclosure. Below, you will find a list of the roughly 200 payments RPU has made to the Chamber over the past 4 years in individual amounts up to $24,000.00, as well as proof of his predecessor’s participation on its Board (above figure).
The Kingpin David Wright
THE PAYMENTS TO THE CHAMBER QUEEN
So folks, could this be how the City of Riverside launders taxpayers money through a non-profit (Riverside Chamber of Commerce), then the Chamber writes a check to support campaign politicians who will feed their gravy train? Sort of how the “Clinton Foundation” works… What you have is that “public servants” are on these non-profit boards, but should be looking out for the best interest of the “taxpayer,” but are not, they are looking out for themselves, because, seemingly, they believe no one (the dumbass taxpayer) is looking at them.

So, is Girish Balachandran following in the footsteps of David Wright, and proving once again that in the River City there’s simply no bridge too far when it comes to conflict-of-interests as is the case with his board membership with the Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce?

The bottom line was that the taxpayer paid out $11,218.50 (minimum, given Mr. Mason’s list doesn’t include a $1000 tables for both the Parks and Recreation Department and the Office of Economic (not Community) Development) for Cindy Roth’s Greater Riverside Chamber of Commerce event, but we again, as the general public, had a seat in the back of the bus event. Next time you pay your utility bill, spot a pothole, or your support is sought for better salaries and benefits by the Police or Fire unions, remember how these departments chose to donate your money to the Chamber….
HOW MUCH IS, “I OWN IT,” COSTING THE TAXPAYER? Is it also an indirect advertising plug for that specific “I Own It” customer? … Who “incidentally” is the law firm of BB&K. Since we own it too, can TMC also be part of that campaign? We of course have not been asked..but we patiently wait for our turn… Why? Because, “I Own It.” Our take is that it may not be long before RPU begins to recant with, “I Regret It.”

COUNCILMAN MIKE SOUBIROUS, WARD 3 COUNCILMAN PAUL DAVIS, WARD 4
Tonight’s explosive Council meeting regarding the rate increases to residents, ended with questions regarding bonds, loans, advances and debt service to the taxpayer. The new rate hikes were passed by Council, to replace the old. According to Councilman Davis, this rate hike will be a 302% increase since the year 2008. Councilman Davis also made a motion to bring California State Controller John Chiang do to a forensic audit of the sewer. Councilman Soubirous asked for same, but to include water and electric. If we are to increase the rates we need to bring trust back to the community by having a independent entity evaluate the taxpayer’s books over the years. Davis questioned CFO Brent Mason regarding posting dates and why some entries were backdated. The rest of Council and Mayor Bailey were visually disturbed and shaken by this call. TMC was right, the ones who went for the rate increase were, Councilman Mike Gardner, Chris Mac Arthur, Steve Adams and Jim Perry. When Councilman Jim Perry asked for a seperation of the issues, between the rate increases and forensic audit, the audience asked for a recall! The audience was shocked at Perry’s position not to support the issue of a forensic audit, but he called for a workshop on it. Councilman Soubirous and Davis can call the State Controller directly requesting an audit without the approval of council or a workshop! Councilman Andy Melendrez was absent from council, was he glad he was? What does this mean for the City of Riverside? The end of corruption? What is the Council afraid of finding? A Swiss Bank Account? It is evident that Davis and Soubirous find the atmosphere in the City of Riverside necessary to ask the State Controller to come in and bring closure for the taxpayer. What is the nervousness of those council people who are against this. Colusion? Why wouldn’t they see this as a win, win situation for the taxpayer? Especially newcomer, Councilman Jim Perry? Why would he attempt to divert attention to a prominent and relative issue somewhere else? Did they get to him? Coucilman Chris Mac Arthur asked the question to the City Attorney if it was proper to request the services of John Chiang’s office. It was obvious that City Attorney Greg Priamos did not want an audit, when he told council that they should take CFO Mason’s word that the books are in order, but left to their discretion if an outside auditing should be requested. This in lieu of a letter by an Code of Ethics Adjudicating Body Member, Keith Nelson, Ph.D, calling a local City of Riverside hired attorney Doug Smith a liar, and questioning the unscrupulous behavior of City Attorney Greg Priamos! Why would anybody rely on the word of our City Attorney Greg Priamos, he has a track record of misinforming council.
STATE CONTROLLER, JOHN CHIANG
FROM THE DESK OF SCOTT SIMPSON: SCOTT RESPONDS TO RIVERSIDE’S SEWER RATE HIKES:
Scott Simpson was former Chief of Enforcement for the 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:
Some times what the city does not tell you is most important to the decision to raise the sewer rates.
1. Hudson changed the financing stategy for sewer capital improvements away from voter approval of municipal bonds or property assessments or special taxes. These would show up on your property tax billing. We are still paying off capital improvement bonds from pre-Hudson era on our property tax bill. Bonds in general are a 30 year repayment obligation. Hudson took away your right to vote No on ever increasing debt which is what is driving these outrageous sewer rate increases.
2. Remember last night, staff kept saying the sixteen year period of no rate increases was pre-Hudson and bonds were financed differently. The truth is the operation and maintenance of the waste water facillity doesn’t out pace the cost of living. Especiallysince we experienced a recession that left 25% of our homes and businesses empty and thus not Flushing. This is the real reason they kept saying they have less waste water to treat along with less customer revenue.
3. California courts have ruled that rates fees and charges for sewer sevices supplied to the land are only for the purpose of recovering the annual cost of operation and maintenance. The rates are to be set annually utilizing the accounting records of the prior fiscal year. The courts said, this is the true Variable cost of the sewer service.
4. California courts also say that Fixed costs and Capital improvement cost and infrastructure replacement costs are not to be included in the sewer rates, fees and charges. They (fixed costs) must be a separate charge on the bill. They have also emphasized that capital costs are only lawfully recovered by voter approved municipal bonds, voter approved property assessments and/or voter approved special taxes. All of which will be collected on your property tax bill. The court specifically prohibited the inclusion of debt service in rates, fees and charges.
5. The courts also said that all customers pay the same rate for the same service to their property. This includes tax-exempt educational customers and all governmental agencies recieving the service.
6. The courts have also ruled that You as the indiviual property owner/renter recieving sewer services provided by a municipality can only be charged rates, fees and charges that do not exceed the actual (variable) cost of providing the service to your property. This means the city must individually determine the (variable) cost of the service you impose upon them.
7. Finally, our courts have ruled that when a municipality enters into a new instrument of debt of any kind, this act automatically creates a new demand for new tax revenue which must be approved by the voters before the debt is entered into.

WAS FORMER CITY MANAGER BRAD HUDSON TO BLAME FOR THE SEWER WOES?
It is appearing that much of the problems that the City of Riverside is experiencing may be due to former City Manager Brad Hudson. When Brad was City Manager for the City of Riverside TMC asked for a forensic audit of the taxpayer utility books, but he just would hide behind the computer, as our City Attorney Greg Priamos currently does.
All this activity was in lieu of both Councilman Davis and Councilman Soubirous being investigated for complaints, of which we are not really sure of. We don’t know who the accusers are and why the complaints were filed. We know that Councilman and Congressional Candidate Steve Adams signed both contracts with the same law first to initiate the investigation. Incidently, these contracts were signed at the the City Manager’s cap of $49,000.00, anything over $50,000.00 must go to council for approval. Are we looking at the origins of a conspiracy?
We do know that there has been friction with these two council members with the Chief of Police Sergio Diaz, City Manager Scott Barber, City Attorney Greg Priamos and possibly some of the Council members, when pertinent questions were asked and not answered to the desires of the council.
Former City Manager Brad Hudson hired City Manager Scott Barber and Chief of Police Sergio Diaz. Councilman Steve Adams and Mayor William “Rusty” Bailey were supporters of Hudson.
HERE’S ONE FOR RIVERSIDE POLICE CHIEF SERGIO DIAZ, WHO WE FIND THREATENING LOCAL ELECTS AND POLITICAL CANDIDATES! There are many instances of outburst and threats by this individual who formerly worked for the Los Angeles Police Department. Questions abound on his qualification, not only by TMC but by the residents of the City of Riverside which have not been addressed by those at City Hall.
TMC did a story back in June 2011 regarding Costa Mesa Police Chief Steven Stavely with his impressions of City Council.

Now a second complaint alleging violation of City Charter 407 came in, this time it’s against Councilman Paul Davis. Less than a week ago, a complaint came against Councilman Mike Soubirous. It seems that the powers that be continue in their attempt to get back to a 7-0 team player vote. We are assuming that the $16,000.00 Team Motivator/Psychologist isn’t working. It’s clear by the information provided, that Davis was targeted at least on two facts, the work performance of the City Manager Scott Barber and what Davis said in testimony in the Raychele Sterling Case, which may not have made the City Attorney Greg Priamos look so good.
COUNCILMAN PAUL DAVIS
When you view the overall pictorial of both Councilman, you cannot rule out a conspiratorial aspect by some of the usual suspects. Just weeks ago Chief Financial Officer Brent Mason presented to City Council and spoke on how we will have a budget shortfall. They continue to frivously spend tax payer monies in an effort to support their enormous egos and defend there inadvertent liabilities. We must also ask the question, who are the players and what could they have to lose.
Just in September of 2012, City Manager Scott Barber decided to take his City Manager hat off and play Council by authorizing a change order of $2.5 million without council authority for the Fox Performance Plaza. He brought the issue to Council and basically appeared they would rubber stamp the idea, after-the-fact. Had this type of shenanigans been done before by the prior City Manager? The City Manager’s discretionary spending cap is at $50,000.00, anything over that amount must go to council. Certainly violated the Charter Amendment. What made Barber think that he had the authority to act as an elect and ferret it out without them? A complaint should have been filed against him with Human Resources, and Council should have fired him immediately.
Though the Supreme Court stated that “a special edition created and sent to would-be voters, specifically because of the upcoming election,” is improper campaign activity. I guess Priamos does what is necessary for the greater good of those who feed off city revenues.
In both the Davis and Soubirous case, the PE reports that all emails have been requested in which referenced Barbers “employment status.” This is telling; what happened between these two council people and the City Manager? Another question, could it have been the connection between families which include Councilman Mac Arthur, Mayor Bailey and Albert Webb, of Webb Engineering? Webb contracts were brought in the Raychele Sterling Case.
We certainly would now have to consider if these city employees filed they’re complaints on the they’re own volition, or did they have encouragement, or were they promised promotion? Plausible denial by some of the usual suspects may give us more thought to a theoretical conspiracy in this matter.
Is it because Woody and Paul sing the same tune and dance the same steps? DA Mr. “Z” obviously is enjoying himself! Maybe we have something here folks, the dance styling”s of Woody & Paul…

How do we not cry about the abuse of taxpayer monies… Even our forefathers would find this unacceptable..
In regards to the $35,000 to former Police Chief Russ Leach’s wife Connie Leach’s Multi Cultural Youth Festival, in an email Assistant Finance Director for the City of Riverside tried to explain it to Dvonne Pitruzzello regarding the expenditure of the $35,000.00 from Police Assett Forfeiture to the General Fund, but again we must reiterate, the DOJ has precise criteria for the use of asset forfeiture funds.
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW DONATIONS TO THE MULTI CULTURAL YOUTH ORGANIZATION FROM FORMER CHIEF RUSS LEACH TO HIS WIFE, CONNIE LEACH.
THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT SUBMITTED TO THE GRAND JURY IS AS FOLLOWS. IT WAS BEING INVESTIGATED, PEOPLE INTERVIEWED, AND THE GRAND JURY SUBMITTED REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS, The Coup d’état, Vivian Moreno was the person focused for the indept informational interview. The investigation was stopped suddenly, that interview never happened. A letter to Mary Figueroa, Board of Trustees, stated that the investigation was unfounded.
The Police Asset Forfeiture Fund (Equitable Sharing) is a restricted fund and has very clear guidelines on its intended purpose. Losing this fund couild be devastating to the Riverside Police Department. I question Ms. Aquino’s motives. Are you protecting the taxpayer? or is this personal?
In June of 2010 Dvonne P., Mary S. and Irma F. went to visit Ms. Aquino to question the use or misuse of the Police Asset Forfeiture (PAF) Fund. Her comment at the time was there is not any abuse in this department. Ms. Aquino directed them to look at Public Utilities.
On or about July 2010 we received the PAF Fund detailed accounting and audits from 2006 to 2009; 2010 was not available at the time, we now have 2010. The misuse of the PAF Fund has been ongoing in the City of Riverside since I’ve began studying Equitable Sharing. I took my concerns to the City Council, the District Attorney Paul Zellerbach, the Grand Jury and Councilman Paul Davis. All of which disregarded our complaint.
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW POLICE ASSET FORFEITURE EXPENDITURES
Here are some of the questionable items we found that were paid from the fund:
1. Running gear for officers to compete in the Baker to Vegas run (tennis shoes)
2. Payments to Connie Leach, the then Police Chief’s wife
3. Payments to the Multi-Cultural Youth Festival- Connie Leach’s youth program.
4. Al Johnson Florist
5. A birthday cake
6. Canyon Crest Cleaners- Russell Leach had his uniform cleaned, couldn’t he pay his own $8.00?
7. Hotel visits to the Ritz Carlton, $400 a night for Leach and Gonzales.
8. Office furniture which totaled $100, 000.00
9. Dell Computers for the Magnolia Police Station, $200,000.00
10. Lunch, lunch and more lunch for Leach and his friendemies.
Ms. Aquino knew over 3 years ago RPD management was misusing PAF Funds. The incident with John De La Rosa, the Baker to Vegas Run, happened November 2009. Why didn’t she alert the media then? Why now?
When Russ Leach wanted to pay his wife, go out to lunch, get his uniform cleaned, buy a birthday cake and stay at the Ritz Carlton, this was acceptable. When Vicino wants to go out to lunch and golfing it’s not acceptable. When your job is safe and secure it’s acceptable to turn your head at the misuse of Police Assett Forfeiture Fund and say or do nothing. When you’re placed on adminstrative leave it’s not acceptable to misuse these funds. You cannot have it both ways Ms. Aquino. Were you a willing partcipant or a victim?
I’m going to speculate what will be coming next from Ms. Aquino. There will probably be a tort claim filed, including all the malfeasance in RPD. It will surely contain all the bells and whistles which we’ve been saying for years. There probably will be a multi-million dollar law suit against the taxpayers of the City of Riverside. I will say this again, are you protecting the taxpayer or is this personal.
Telling the story of how this all began is an important one in order to understand why I have made the very important decision to run for the position of Mayor, Dvonne Pitruzzello, for the City of Riverside. Approximately two years ago I attended a city council meeting and a friend told me about the city manager and his $50,000.00 discretionary spending. It seems that the City of Riverside’s then city manager Bradley J. Hudson had an open checkbook to spend our money with no council approval. For those of you who know me, you also know that this would be something that I would find unacceptable. So I requested that the city council put a mechanism in place to not only track his spending but to have it reported and approved by the city council. A quarterly reporting would suffice. Alas, my curiosity got to me. I wondered just how much Mr. Hudson had spent and even more, what had Mr. Hudson spent our money on. Now the journey begins.
After sifting thorough thousands of pages of documents I kept finding reoccurring expenses. Connie Leach, Ironwood Construction, Provider Food Service, etc., etc., Thus began my relationship with the California Public Records Act. You see all documents, except attorney client privilege documents are public records and must be given to those who request these documents, for a fee or course. I’ll save the details of the power of the public records request act for another posting. My first public records request act was for several items that kept revealing themselves in Brad Hudson’s discretionary spending. Over 200 million dollars in less than five years. WOW! And our city council current and former gave Mr. Hudson a blank check to spend our money. So how did this all happen, was Hudson qualified? or was he as rumored, just a shoe in by the Tavaglione family?
But onward, I was not able to conquer all of this information single handedly, no, I had help, a few close friends that had been victims of the cities oppressive policies. Many meals around the table and later it was decided that the Connie Leach expenditures were extremely suspicious. Also take note that the amount of spending that had occurred was so disturbing I could not walk away. Approximately 200 million dollars in less than 5 years, what kind of city council would allow this? Now that’s a lot of tax money. We wanted to find out exactly why this, “Blank check of trust” was given to a man who had a criminal record, but was hired by the city council and mayor regardless.
Our quest had deepened and we began to get our feet wet investigating the expenditures of Connie Leach. Our lead investigator on the case Vivian Moreno worked tirelessly for months to help us understand why the then police chief’s wife Connie Leach had been paid in excess of $600,00.00, as a consultant to the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council. You see, when I, Dvonne Pitruzzello, was employed with the city and worked under Mayor Loveridge I did the same job for free. As a part-time employee I assumed the duties associated with the Youth Advisory Council. During my departure Connie Leach had approached the Mayor and stated that she would like to volunteer with children. I thought, what a great opportunity for the youth council to have a high profile person giving credibility to their council. It was to my dismay to find out less than a year after I left, Connie Leach began to receive payment(s) for her volunteer work. Doubly dismayed because we already had in place a Youth Action Office where these duties should have been assumed by the director, not Mrs. Leach, to pay someone else to do the job was again, unacceptable.
On to what we found. Contracts for over $300,000.00 and the remaining $300,000.00 were for various items paid for on behalf of the Youth Multicultural Festival, for which Mrs. Leach was a consultant also. Connie Leach did have a business license on file with the City of Riverside, Impact Consulting, both she and her then husband Chief of Police Russell Leach signed the business tax license. The question was, if Mrs. Leach collected donations from the community then why were these funds deposited into the general fund and not in a separate fund for specific expenditures for the Youth Multicultural Festival? By the way Mrs. Leach’s contracts were paid from the Parks and Recreation budget, the Economic Development budget, Development Department, etc. Depositing these funds properly would have been as simple as depositing them into the International Relations Council’s, non-profit account, Youth Multi-Cultural Festival, a perfect place for these donations. Of course everything would have been on the up and up if this had occurred……Nevertheless, it did not happen. When Mrs. Leach got paid for every taco she ever ate, and every cola she ever drank from Jack-in-the-Box, our suspicions grew ever greater. We asked for every check and/or wire transfer that was distributed to Connie Leach from the City of Riverside, and here is what we found.
Connie Leach had been paid $35,000.00 from police asset forfeiture funds, these are extremely restricted federal funds and can only be used for the sole purpose of gang or drug intervention programs. These funds under the supervision of her then police chief husband had been distributed to Connie Leach for her consulting fee as the advisor for the Youth Multicultural Festival. A grand jury report had been filed, but funny it seems that the person most likely to be interviewed, Ms. Moreno who did all of the investigation was never interviewed. Approximately two weeks after the grand jury served a subpoena on the City of Riverside for five years of police asset forfeiture records the complaint was dismissed, no reason given. Wow, how did the grand jury read all of of those documents in such a short time frame?
Let’s move on. Connie Leach was reimbursed for party hats from the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, we know how much students love these hats. She also had several parties at her house to reward the students for their hard work with all kinds of fancy cheeses and appetizers, students can’t resist the delicious Danish havarti cheese, these were receipts from Ralph’s grocery store. $300,00.00 dollars later, even though she only collected $100,00.00 in donations, our former CFO/Treasurer Paul Sundeen stated in a finance committee meeting that Connie Leach had done a great job and deserved every penny that we paid her. Shortly thereafter, his bound contract to the City of Riverside was found to be illegal, and he then faded away into the darkness of the Riverside sunset.

In 2008, a PE news release on 05/07 stated she was resigning 05/16. Connie Leach receives a contract for $9,750.00 on 05/08, in lieu that knowingly, the event would be canceled. Regardless if the Council or Mayor knew, they are responsible legally and managerably, regardless of the actions of the City Attorney Gregory Priamos and Former City Manager Brad Hudson. Well, regarding the DA, we get it he is a very busy man.. The Riverside Grand Jury…found no basis, during an incomplete investigation, while awaiting public records on asset forfeiture documents. The City, the judges, the grand jury and the DA’s office simply found nothing responsive to the documents. Zellerbach simply told us, “Is it illegal, or just bad business?” Well we were hoping you know Mr. Zellerbach…afterall you are the Big Kahuna.. This leaves many questions of why was a blog site targeted as opposed to the questions, documents and facts brought forward to your office. Questions of your association with the Grand Jury, City of Riverside officials, Judges etc. Why Mr. Zellerbach was it important to your office that a file on Thirty Miles of Corruption was created? Were you worried that your decision on the Karen Wright arrest could possibly change how the Riverside Police Officer’s Association would view you?
The bottom line is, in an article in the San Diego North County Times, San Diego Police said there was sufficient evidence to charge then City of Riverside Chief of Police Russ Leach with battery and they then fowarded the this case to the San Diego City Attorney’s Office for further investigation.
After all is said an done we find that Connie Leach now resides in the Carribean. What secrets does Carribean Connie know regarding RPD, Police Asset Forfeiture and her prior employment with the City of Riverside and the activities of her Ex-Husband Chief Russell Leach? How much did prior Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge know about all this? Possibly plenty?
When brought to the attention of the Grand Jury, the item in question was squashed. When brought to Big Kahuna himself, Paul Zellerbach, his assistant was more focused on who was behind the infamous blog site, Thirty Miles of Corruption. They themselve had a file of copies of each and every article written. When asked with the evidence brought forward to Paul, he only stated, “Is this bad business? Needless to say, our Grand Jury complaint was dismissed with out completely interviewing all the complainants under the watchful eye of Paul Zellerbach.

These were Federal Funds and should have also been sent to the DOJ.. Okay Danuta, what now?

UPDATE: 11/02/2012: ACCORDING TO CITY ATTORNEY GREGORY PRIAMOS RESPONSE STATEMENT REGARDING THE ARREST OF PUBLIC SPEAKER KAREN WRIGHT WHEN ASKED TO RESPOND. HIS RESPONSE, WAS “ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILIGE”, MEANING THAT IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY, HE IS REPRESENTING SOMEONE OTHER THATN HIMSELF. TECHNICALLY THIS WOULD BE THE MAYOR AND/OR COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL DENIES KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THEREFORE, DID PRIAMOS’S ORDERS OR DIRECTIVES THEN CAME FROM THE MAYOR? WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN WE FIRST PRACTICE TO DECEIVE..
UPDATE: 11/01/2012: OFFICER SAHAGUN’S POLICE REPORT SUGGEST THAT WRIGHT WAS SINGLED OUT BY CITY ATTORNEY GREGORY PRIAMOS IF HE IN FACT ACTED ALONE. PRIAMOS’S PERFORMANCE EVALUATION UP ON NOVEMBER 13, 2012.. In this article, Councilman Gardner continues to amaze the intelligent community by standing by his rendition of events in the course of Ms. Wright. The officer took her elbow as if to guide her away from the lectern; he didn’t grab her or throw her to the floor, Gardner said. It appeared she sat down on the floor or lost her balance and fell. When will the lying end, is this what the constiuents “have to put up with?” Ooops, I believe I’ve heard this comment before..
Yes, Coucilman Gardner, that’s exactly what we saw, gently taking her elbow as to guide her away, possibly to help her find her way back to her seat, afterall she is disabled…then suddenly, she decided to sit on the floor, possibly just to relax a minute… Incidently, Gardner had front seats on the dais for this grand event, and he called it as seen it. In another statement in the PE, Gardner emphatically seems to say that Priamos would not over step his authority without the go ahead from the mayor or council. I could certainly interpret this statement as meaning, no move can be made by the City Attorney without the Council or Mayor. Could we now say that Primos was the messenger, and therefore council and/or mayor knew about it? What ever the truth may be, Gardner has either lost touch, or is truly telling the truth regarding what actually happened. In telling the truth, Council and/or Mayor knew….Is a recall in order for those involved?
UPDATE: 10/31/2012: EVENING: THE QUESTION OF GOING ROGUE..
In the Press Enterprise, Loveridge said he did not know whether Priamos had a conversation with the Officer Nick Sahagun. Maintaining decorum is the call of elected officials, not city staff! He evidently went on to say that “I need to talk to Greg to find out what was said or not said.” Is Mayor Luv stating Priamos made this decision on his own. After all, according to former employees, Priamos has been known to call Council members “idiot’s” within his circle. So how do they expect anyone to follow the rules of decorum when they do not follow the rules themselves, further, even the laws of the State of California. Four weeks ago, City Attorney Gregory Priamos conducted a two hour ethics training course to the Council. But was this really a “Bonehead Course”, as Dan Berstein coined. Maybe there is an emphasis in “How not to get caught”. At any rate it is quite a surprise to the community knowing Priamos’s track record.
This is quite disturbing because we currently have a City Attorney who has decided to give a directive of enforcement upon a citizen via a police officer. If in fact, the directive was solely his decision, and not one to involve the Mayor, would he be consider “rogue?”
According to the PE, City Attorney Gregory Priamos appreared surprised that the police report was had been made public. Though he had yet to read the report, he stated that Officer Sahagun’s description of the conversation was inaccurate. He declined to elaborate further, and cited attorney-client privilege. Attorney-Client Privilege? We understand he is Privileged, but who’s the Attorney and who’s the Client Gregory? Technically, the taxpayer is the client and he, Priamos, the attorney on record to protect us.
Maybe just a another nervous search for syllables, or it could have been a little gas from a bad burrito.. But is City Attorney Greg Priamos basically calling Officer Nick Sahagun a “liar?” Again, while the Council and Mayor were stating that Ms. Wright was arrested for not obeying an officer, according to Officer Sahagun, that was not so.
Did the directive come from the Mayor? Two days after the arrest, a new so called protocol was implemented. This would now give authority to the meeting chair, being either the Mayor Pro Tem or the Mayor himself to give the order to remove someone from the podium. But these rules have already been in place, was this a scuffle to spin? Back in 2006, an 89 year old woman, Marjorie Von Pohle, was removed from the podium by the directive of a Mayor Pro Tem to an RPD Officer for exceeding the 3 minute rule. Ms. Wright is scheduled to appear in Superior Court on December 27, 2012. Some rumors down the information pipeline is “Allred.”
CHANNEL 11 NEWS: “SHE MUST HAVE GOTTEN UNDER SOMEBODY’S SKIN!”
It comes as a shock to TMC to see public speaking come to this. Other’s are telling me that I’m just naive, “this is Riverside”.. What a night, one disabled elderly female public speaker down and arrested, a second disabled elderly female skirted with the possibility of second taken down, then one Councilman’s Aide is seen by another female speaker with his middle finger across his face. This public speaker had just commented on the inappropriate behavior of this aide, especially toward females. Karen Wright, a 60 year old disabled public speaker icon, went over the three minute mark, approximately 16.8 seconds. Returning to her seat, she was met with one of Ronnie’s Bouncer’s. Midway from her seat, when she turned toward the council, she was pushed by the officer. When she arrived at her seat, she was getting some of her things, the officer inadvertently came from the right side, it appeared he wasn’t finished with her, and then grabbed her arm, turned it clockwise, whereby she could not nothing other than fall and and take her down to the floor, she fell seated, she then took her two hands to try to get up as she indicated, but was pushed by her right hand taken, then handcuffed. Not one, not two but three RPD officers surrounded her when she was on the floor. “Officer, you are making me naked.” she stated. A disgusting act of use of force, but Riverside has a track record of this, and a double standard when it comes to arrest. You might think this is Afghanistan or Iraq, unfortunately this is Riverside, specifically, regarding these current state of affairs, I must say, the City of Riverside.. So, if you live here, you msut exactly know what this blogger is talking about..
The first quickly came out of nowhere, as she turned after finishing her point after the three minute mark, she was met with officer, not regularly seen, who grabbed her and threw her to the floor as seen in the images. While the council just sat there stonefaced, as good leaders do. While one retired police officer, later stated to TMC who saw the video from home, “there was no reason for this officer to touch this person.” So again, why would this Mayor, this Mayor known as Mayor Ron Loveridge allow this? Later in City Council, Mayor Loveridge stated, “this is outrageous behavior”, when Councilman Chris Mac Arthur’s Council Aide, Chuck Condur, used a derrogatory finger symbol toward public speaker Dvonne Pitruzzello during council sessions. Why didn’t the Mayor have the gumption to say the same? Did he enjoy this? Did he allow this for personal reasons against Wright, being approximately his last appearance as Mayor on the dais? If there is a story, let’s hear it, this is not the normal standard behavior of a RPD officer at City Council.. Give us your side anonymously at thirtymilescorruption@hotmail.com
During this disgusting act of force, Councilwoman Nancy Hart, Councilman Steve Adams (also a former police officer), and Councilman and Mayoral Candidate William “Rusty” Bailey left their council seats and exited the dais. It appeared they themselve could not handle or stomach the scene. But non of these great leaders said, enough! This has to stop! A reflection of the leadership in Riverside. Well anyway, this is what happens if you talk a good 25 seconds after the 3 minute mark. You may find a couple of RPD on your back.. Being disabled that’s gotta hurt.. After this disruption by Ronnie’s Bouncers, she was later taken outside, released and issued a citation for “disruption of a public event.” The witnesses who were there were stating, “she was already returning to her seat!” RPD Officer you shouldn’t have done it, you’ve watched over the security of Council meetings before. This is behavior unlike you, were you briefed by Council, Mayor, City Execs, City Attorney or your superiors to do this, and target this specific public speaker? More information coming down the pipeline..
The Chief then called Ms. Wright a “a horrible person”, “your disrespectful” and “You hate the police!” At the time he also turned to then Mayoral Candidate Dvonne Pitruzzello and stated, “I don’t like her!” This all occurred in a public arena. Chief Diaz has yet to publicly apologize for, as Mayor Loveridger would say, “this is outrageous behavior!” Though Karen had the right to file an ethics complaint on this very issue, she chose at the time not do so. Chief Diaz should be thankful of this. Many are saying should we disband RPD? And just go with Riverside County Sheriff, would this make a difference?
Notice the empty seat behind above the left officer, Councilman and Mayoral Candidate Rusty Bailey left the dais, out of sight.. Some commenters on the Press Enterprise have begin coin Councilman and Mayoral Candidate… “Runaway Rusty.”
Wrong Councilman Davis, she picked her own self up according to the above video. Let’s not begin to spin the chain of events in order to defend you and the council bullies, that night, for not doing the right thing and stopping what occurred. You stated that the decision for this is defined by the RPD officer, and by “law” you cannot interfere with that. But now, new rules? “Police Officers will now be directed by the Mayor?” according to the the Press Enterprise. Now, elected officials can interfere with the actions of the Police Officers? But some Council members are saying, again, as an authority figures, and I disagree with that, that they cannot interfere with the judgement of a an RPD officer? You work for us, and we expect some aggregious behavior to be stopped by a police officer, but you are telling them you have no power. Our we living in a microcosm of a police state?
To the elected individuals on the dais, we’ve have not declared war..we only want transparency…
“At that time she also decided to sit down, on the floor, just outside the Dais entrance door and near her seat, with her hands not visible from my vantage point.”
Councilman Davis, you are wrong again, let me show how she ended up on the floor. You call us “crazy”, but at least we are not “liars.” This is how Ms. Wright decided to to sit down..of course, according to Councilman Paul Davis’s innacturate rendition of the Council events..
Now the twist to be handcuffed..RPD style..
“Many have asked why the members of the Mayor, Council, or city Staff, did not take any actions to stop the officer from his actions. As a matter of law, no person has the authority to interfere with the lawful order or actions of a Police Officer performing his duties. By doing so, you would be in violation and you will be held for Obstruction of Justice, and be subject to severe penalty.” (Courtesy of The Truth Publication Online). Let me see Mr. Davis, “Police Officers at City Council Meetings will be directed by the Mayor.”
Nope, sorry Davis, no one believes that. Many believe the mayor has always had that power, and this incident was allegedly and directly orchestrated by Mayor Ron Loveridge himself.
So what happens next, the Officer says we are done. So what happens with the legal process for Ms. Wright next? When the interrelationdships and interconnections with the City, City Attorney, the Riverside Judges, the District Attorney Paul Zellerbach, the Riverside Grand Jury, even unfortunately to the extent of the State of California Attorney General’s interrelationship? What will happen to this poor disabled 60 year old elderly woman? Well it’s already been decided if you live in Riverside. Some call it politics, some just have to accept it..
“All I was told was that you are given a certain amount of time to make statements to the council and she went over her time,” Lt. Guy Toussaint said. “She was asked to leave and she refused to do so.” Again wrong, Ms. Wright closed her comments and was on her way to her seat. But what the L.A. Times has right, is that this was all about the 3 minute time limit, which the City denies was a factor in her arrest. Many of the Councilpeople on the dais, who did nothing, and maintained they could not interfere with a police officer. So who’s in charge? Some on the dais, even said in some ways, that “she’d had it coming.” Other’s on the dais, who were criticized, said, “how come those citizens in the audience do nothing?” This is what we have, and you now begin to see the picture unfold before your eyes in relation to political conundrums withing the politics of the City of Riverside.
Again it didn’t stop there, another disabled individual on crutches …What is it with the City of Riverside and disabled females? What is it with leadership that doesn’t have the guts to lead and come out to say this is wrong. Is it easier say that the individuals are just “crazy?” Well Dvonne Pitruzzello said it best when she said, “I rather be called crazy, then to be a crook.” Well anyway this person below was on crutches and the same RPD officer started to walk down toward the podium again… Ren Holmstrum on crutches was subjected to a possible throwdown, regarding her issue of Riverside hospice, when she went over the three minute mark.. One of RPD officers was again on alert, walking down the isle again to take care of muni mafia business…
Councilman and Mayoral Candidate William “Rusty” Bailey seen with his head down in the video. Last week Councilman and Mayoral Candidate William “Rusty” Bailey, came to the TMC site to inadvertently download photos of his Mayoral opponent and former Riverside Councilman, Ed Adkison, of course without TMC’s permission. These were then sent city wide in a campaign mailer. Now RPD wants TMC’s photos of the Council Debacle…Many in the community, seeing this display of police are now afraid, who can we depend on when we cannot trust our own community police force? Who do we call when we cannot call our own police force for help? Questions some community constituents are asking. This is the same behavior community constituents have been talking about to their city leaders for years…
Other’s are asking the question if this was a set up.. Most often, RPD or Ronnie’s Bouncers are cordial, escorting the “3 minute violator” back to their seat. This time, the Mayor meant business, it was a throw down… Was this orchestrated and planned by the mayor, the puller of strings? As one reporter stated on Channel 11 News on 10/25/2012 “She must have gotten under somebody’s skin.” This because Ms. Wright goes to each and every council meeting to comment on issues, and is therefore well known..
“I want to live in a society that people can voice unpopular opinions because I know as result of that a society grows and matures,” – Hugh Hefner
It didn’t stop there, after Public Speaker Dvonne Pitruzzello spoke regarding Councilman Chris Mac Arthur’s legislative aide, the allegation of Chuck Condor holding a knife to the throat of Bailey’s Council Aide, Mark Earley.
From the current contact in the mainstream media, much is being said, many questions asked, pieces of the puzzle that just don’t make sense, but the questions of why none of the City Council leadership said nothing, allowed the activity to happen, and simply found it acceptable.. again actions speak louder than words..

ETHIC’S COMPLAINTS ARE NOW GOING VIRAL.. I’VE GOTTA SAY THIS IS EXHAUSTING, BUT JUST ANOTHER NORMAL DAY IN RIVER CITY..
UPDATE: 10/24/2012: JUST IN, TMC SOURCES ARE STATING THAT COUNCILMAN MIKE GARDNER ALLEGEDELY STATED, “KAREN WRIGHT DESERVED IT.” IF THIS IS TRUE, THIS MAY BE PART OF MIKE THAT MAY NOT BE LIKED..
COUNCILMAN CHRIS MAC ARTHUR’S LEGISLATIVE AIDE CHUCK CONDOR SHOCKS COUNCIL MEETING!
The question to the council by Pitruzzello was, ” Why Condor wasn’t arrested, or a police report created by Bailey’s Aide, Mark Earley? We just don’t know..”Was this a concerted effort by City Hall to cover up the alleged altercation back in April 2012?” Regardless, it still didn’t stop there! As Former Mayoral Candidate Dvonne Pitruzzello walked toward the back of Council Chambers she was met from a distance, Councilman Chris Mac Arthur’s Aide, Chuck Condor, placing the “middle finger” in front of his face toward Pitruzzello. Mrs. Pitruzzello interrupted the City Council to let them know just what happened. The following pics below taken at the time of the interruption. The shock was written all over Councilwoman Nancy Hart’s face. Officer Nick, again, one of Ronnie”s Bouncer’s pounced on the situation and begin to walk over toward Pitruzzello. She let Officer Nick know, “that’s who you need to arrest!” Referring to Mac Arthur’s Council Aide Chuck Condur. This is the one time TMC agrees with Mayor Luv when he stated, “this is outrageous behavior.” When a Council Aide can continually get away with derrogatory remarks and alleged actions, this is outrageous behavior.. This Public Council Meeting could not have been hotter…
But let’s not forget this is Riverside, Chuck Condor, may just get a monetary raise and become an elected official one day.. But many are asking the question, why does Councilman Chris Mac Arthur allow a person such as Chuck, who appears to be a loose cannnon, on his team? Another liability? Could revealers of Condur’s behavior now be in danger of retaliation by the City of Riverside Power House? Will have to ask Councilman Chris Mac Arthur who has protected his aide through thick and thin regardless of his derrogatory behavior. The question is, does the Community concur with this type of legislative aid behavior?

UPDATE:10/29/2012: A MONTAGE OF COMMENTERS COMMENTING ON THIS ISSUE REGARDING MS. KAREN WRIGHT FROM THE PE BEFORE THEY ARE DELETED…POSSIBLY BY SOME DIRECTIVE BY A CITY ELECT OR THE CHIEF OF POLICE HIMSELF…
Remember folks, you have to be in a bad mood as a citizen when you come to City Council Meetings when you know that you the taxpayer, are $4 billion in debt, and that you the taxpayer are responsible for it as a result of the elected officials who voted on these issues.
This is ridiculous. Going over the time limit is not a crime. I’m not a fan of Karen’s, but she had finished talking and was walking away from the podium. Someone has it in for her, and that’s not right. Terrible, terrible showing by the police, the mayor, and the council. -Kaptalism, commenter on the PE
This makes me SICK! Sooooo unjustified! This isn’t the last we have heard of this, believe it! A lawsuit will be forthcoming for SURE! So shameful! -Nettie Nettie Bobettie, commenter on the PE
Unbelievable~!!! They should be ashamed of themselves~!!!! – Alice Wersky Naranjo, commenter on the PE
AND THIS MORNINGWE ARE ON FOX NEWS. AREN’T WE GREAT? –Ron Rose, commenter on the PE
This is how it works at Casa Loveridge. You get three minutes to speak. If you’re kissing his butt, make it four and you can bring about 20 other people up to keep the love flowing longer. If you’re a guy criticizing, he starts to cut in and the hand goes up at about 2:45 into your comment and its purpose is to try to distract you into disagreeing with him over your time is up until it’s up and you don’t talk about your original topic. If you’re a woman, alas the infamous hand goes up at about 2:30. Bring a timer and time the speakers and the Loveridge hand wave yourself a couple times. I’ve done it myself. Very illuminating. The county board of supervisors have used the same tactics for years and rumor has it he wants Tavaglione’s seat if that guy wins the congressional race. So maybe he’s practicing for the bigger stage? If he doesn’t like what you’re saying, apparently…well there’s that too. – Mary Shelton, commenter on the PE.
The cop was not timing her I would bet. He was instructed to do as he did when the time-up signal was given. Minor petty politicians begin to think they are Lords. -James Overturf, commenter on the PE.
Too bad we don’t limit politicians to three minutes of speaking. – BJ Clinton, commenter on the PE.
Although I haven’t lived in Riverside since my Divorce in 2003, I still follow the news. Here are my thoughts:Everyone has a right to voice their opinion in a Public Forum. Time limits are made to provide equal time for all and show some dignity and respect for the Counsel and “Elected Officials” of the Counsel during such meetings. Three (3) minutes may not be enough for some however, if you come prepared to make your point clear and brief, three (3) is “normally” plenty of time. Handcuffing anyone with a strong opinion should not be the norm. This lady was no threat to the counsel or anyone else. The lady only spoke too long. Handcuffs would not have been my first choice to resolve the issue. BAD CALL… Counsel BAD CALL… Riverside Cops -Roy Robinson, commenter on the PE.

We’re not sure who was first? Ed or TMC…But TMC would also like to place it’s entry in asking for an apology from Councilman and Mayoral Candidate William “Rusty” Bailey for approving a campaign mailer that went out last weekend which contained photographs taken by TMC’s crack photographer without permission. Now above, TMC’s crack senior minimum wage photoshop designer created a comparison photo montage of Bailey’s mailer and TMC’s….absolutely uncanny, the photo that is. The question is, what was Bailey’s intentions in inadvertently using TMC’s photo’s to begin with? Was TMC’s photographs just exceptional? Should TMC recieve a “royalty” for this display of “stolen” property? Or are we to accept, as it is in Riverside, this is business as usual. Of course, “business as usual,” usually means the taxpayer is usually being taken.. That may be because no community members care. The taxpayer, needs to rise from their knees and let their representatives know that this is unacceptable.

Well you received our attention, you should know by now we love numbers, so we did our own investagation, guess what? The numbers don’t match up. According to city records Adkan Engineering did receive $585,285.28 during the years between 2008-20012, and we have the city records to prove it, and not the $3.84 million the Bailey campaign stated he actually recieved. Bailey was given an opportunity to retract his statement, but currently continues to maintain it’s legitimacy, regardless of public records which reference otherwise.
“The fact is Riverside just can’t afford Rusty Bailey. Unemployment has tripled since Rusty was elected. Furthermore, Rusty complains about Ed giving the council a 60% pay increase, yet he still continues to accept his Council salary and has not asked for his pay to be reduced. In addition, Rusty fails to mention Ed did not take a salary or benefits the last 18 months he was in office when the economy crashed,” said spokesman Jeff Corless. “Rusty should act like a true public servant and follow Ed’s lead by making that same fiscally responsible decision. Of course, you’d think he’d follow Ed’s lead on this matter since all he does is steal Ed’s ideas like taking credit for the Riverside Renaissance led by Adkison,” continued Corless.
Adkan Engineering is on an approved City list of firms elgible to enter into contracts for a specified amount. Now getting a contract ofNow entering into a contract for an agreed maximum amount is one thing, how much you were actually paid is another. For example, you can enter into a contract for $600,000.00 to perform certain duties for the City. The $600,000 is the maximum amount that the City will pay out. There may be 10 jobs at a cost of $10,000 over the course of the contract equaling $100,000, with a remaining $500,000 left on the contract. If the contract expires the contract will have to be renegotiated. So therefore, these particular contracts say Adkan Engineering could make up to $600,000.00, if selected for various Public Works Projects, but it is not guaranteed. In addition there is a Conflict of Interest clause in the contracts. Now, there are specific contracts with Adkan Engineering for specific jobs.
According to Bailey’s web site, it appears he is changing his tune when he states, “Whatever the amount, 3.8 million dollars or 380 dollars, taxpayers have a right to know where there money may be spent…and particularly if some or all of that money is going to a candidate’s business.” Well alrighty now, I believe we do get the point.
In another campaign mailer sent to voters homes, Mayor Ron Loveridge stated of Bailey, “Rusty Bailey has the highest possible commitment to public service, reinforced by his years at West Point. Values are important in being Mayor. He is not wedded to any special interest.” “Now lets talk reality. According to the California 460 form Webb engineering has contributed to the Bailey campaign.
Albert Webb Engineering from January 2011 to December 2011 received totals of $1,042,080.42

But to be fair, let’s do a breakdown of what other Engineering companies received from January 2011 to December 2011, and see how they pan out against Adkan Engineering, who is not the only engineering company on record with the City of Riveride Riverside. There are many more engineering companies who have escalated beyond the $200K mark for 2011. So what could possibly be Bailey’s analytical assessment of these accounting numbers?
ADKAN ENGINEERING $192,755.10
ADECCO ENGINEERING $804,520.57
AEI-CASC ENGINEERING $600.00
AM ORTEGA GEN ENG $15,363.00
EBS GEN ENGINEERING $3,381,449.18
FALCON ENGINEERING $1,375,313.81
POWER ENGINEERS $3,749,143.18
WEBB ENGINEERS $1,042,080.42
We kind of find it complimentary, but using our photos of Ed without permission…wouldn’t you say this is taking this just a bit to far Mr. Bailey? What are most people thinking of this so far?
