Though the second letter was rejected by the State Bar with complaints against former Riverside City Attorney Gregory Priamos, the council voted at the October 20th City Council Meeting to hire an independent firm to investigate the $19.4 million in outside legal as reported in the PE. The problem was that there was no contractual agreements, which leaves a lot of splaining to do by Priamos.  The vote was 6-1 with Councilman Barnyard Burnard being the only dissenting vote.  Why?  Good question.  TMC broke this story May 21, 2012, “WE DON’T NEED NO STINK’N CONTRACTS!”  Why did it take so long?

As you may know former Deputy City Attorney Raychele Sterling submitted additional information to the State Bar which included the recent Grand Jury findings and recommendations of “Dumping the Chump,” referring to current County Counsel Gregory Priamos.  But on October 20, 2015 Riverside City Council will be discussing the spending by former City Attorney Gregory Priamos of over $19 million in taxpayers monies spent without a formal contract!  Leaving taxpayers feeling taken by an administration who didn’t care about them.

The second paragraph contradicts itself.  Hackert states that it is not a conflict of interest for Riverside County Counsel to represent county employees in a civil grand jury proceeding.  He states that it does not violate Penal Code section 934.  But if you read the code it states that the grand jury may, at all times, request the advice of the court, or the judge thereof, the district attorney, the county counsel, or the Attorney General. Unless advice is requested, the judge of the court, or county counsel as to civil matters, shall not be present during the sessions of the grand jury.  It states nothing about representing employees as counsel to a grand jury proceeding! Therefore it appears what Priamos was advocating was to give advice to employees, but at the same time if asked, give advice to the grand jury. In this role is classic Priamos, as what was done in the City of Riverside during Ethics Committee hearings, a complete ‘conflict of interest.”

Hackert states that it is not misconduct for Mr. Priamos to ask County employees to advise his office of contacts from the grand jury, since they may be entitled to legal representation under Penal Code section 939.22.  Penal Code section 939.22 states that any witness called to give testimony under oath before a civil grand jury may have counsel present on his or her behalf while he or she is testifying.  The difference, is that Priamos was demanding that employees contact him if called by the grand jury.  Thus violating penal code section 939.22 by not allowing an employee to choose their own attorney.  But again, it’s evident by their response, that the State Bar isn’t there to protect the consumer or taxpayers, but to protect themselves.  We see this time and time again.  The State Bar is not there to protect the public, since their primary activity lobbying, and have already paid dearly in campaign contributions to protect their own, before they protect the public.

June 26, 2015 TMC reported on the first rejection by the California State Bar against Priamos, the argument by Alex Hackert was that Vivian Moreno was not a client of Priamos.. So who is the client?

Alex Hackert, Deputy Trial Counsel, State Board of California

Well we shouldn’t be surprised when in reality the State Bar of California does nothing to protect the taxpayers, but acts for themselves as a lobbying group.  The bottom line is that there are a lot of backs being oiled, buttered and rubbed..

As a result, this person, Louis G. Fazzi, Esq, in law suit against the City of Riverside, states that the City was directly to blame for the death of his wife as a result of a stroke, due to a letter Fazzi’s wife read that the property was to go into receivership.  She died the next day.  Does Priamos have blood on his hands?  The following is a book written about the Priamos family.  In the book it states, “Priamos men are known for strong minds and weak hearts.”

A BOOK BY GREG’S COUSIN PAULA PRIAMOS, DESCRIBES THE PRIAMOS FAMILY.  THE BOOK IS CALLED “THE SHYSTER’S DAUGHTER.”  When contacted, she stated she didn’t want anything to do with her cousin Greg Priamos.

On the third page, prior to the prologue, she states this haunting statement…

Shyster (U.S. slang.)

A lawyer who practices in an unprofessional or tricky manner; especially. one who haunts the prisons and lower courts to prey on petty criminals.

– Oxford English Dictionary

Excerpts:

“Your lucky he didn’t kill you,” I say.  If death didn’t get him in the form of an actual bullet, it could’ve gotten him from shock.  Priamos men are known for strong minds and weak hearts.

“I see my father’s body doubled over the wheel.  I see his chest and arms spilling out of the car, his head dangling, blood seeping out of the wet hole in his scalp.”

“This malaka in a ski mask tried to carjack me.  He had a gun to the window and told me to get out of my own goddamn car.”  My father slows down, hanging on to the moment as if speaking to a jury.  “But I gave him the finger and backed the hell out of there.” (page xiii).

Now he carries ones and fives to slip under the g-strings of his favorite girls at the Kat Nip. (page xiii).  Sounds like an excerpt from Goodfellas!

Having his tougher brother in the house balances my father my father in a way I haven’t been able to.  Unlike Psycho Gil, who needs full armor and artillery, Uncle Dimitri has no understanding of physical weakness and actually tried to walk off his heart attack while it was happening. (page 138).

‘He slapped me.  She kicked me in the balls.’  God knows how many times the cops came out to find one of them saying it was just a disagreement that got out of hand.  From what he tells me, she’s no innocent.  Those two were into some kinky shit.”  (page 140).

My great grandfather died of suicide, which like other dark secrets in the Priamos family, got buried.  I didn’t learn of it until well after I’d begun writing this story. (page 250).

This guy (Priamos) continues to get a paycheck, representatives of the people continue to seemingly condone employees such as he, without ever doing a proper background check.

DA ZELLERBACH AND SHERIFF STAN SNIFF SENDS PUBLIC A MESSAGE: IMPERSONATE AN OFFICER, BECOME STATE SENATOR!

 If you impersonate a law enforcement officer you will usually go to jail, as in this December 2014 PE story.  Or in this 2011 PE story of Derek Bash, it really is a crime!  The Murrieta Patch wrote about this in this story stating it is a crime to impersonate a police office. But if you are former County Supervisor Jeff Stone, you get voted to the position of California Senator!  Then you must be teflon, and that only means you have friends in high places around town, judges, lawyers, other politicians and even the DA. Well the only “Teflon King” or “Teflon Don” I know is Gotti, and he died in prison.

Go figure.  Well Senator you certainly are no Barney Fife!  At least he was honest.

At the June 26th, 2012 City Council Meeting City Manager Scott Barber responded to the new passing of the ‘Trailer Bill” or as it is known AB 1484, enacted as a result to clarify and define language of Redevelopments inter-agency transfers and possibly padding the ROPS (Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule).   Barber inititated his comment by stating, ” I was going to say that I thought ‘The Trailer Bill’ was the good, bad and the ugly, you may have remembered that western movie, but spending more time reading through it,  I just think it’s all ugly.”  The California League of cities have come out with opposition for a less amended bill, that is there recommendation..  There are some concerns we should have in the budget trailer bill, one of them is a threat to local finances.  Now our understanding in first reading the bill made us think perhaps there would be some good for us with regards to our outstanding inter-agency loans, the ones that had been reconfirmed by our oversight board and sent to the Department of Finance.   It did appear that there would language in here for repayment of these loans.  However, the conditions which appear in the current version of the trailer bill, although they say ‘repayment’, the conditions that they create make ‘repayment’ very unlikely without exhausting other debts and then growth in tax increment to other taxing entities.  That does not look very favorable.  The trailer bill as it is written really takes the away the power and authority from the oversight board and really make their actions really meaniless.  It transfer a great deal of authority to the State Department of Finance.  It changes the department of finance role to where they have a huge amount of authority over county and cities regarding our finances. They have the ability to impose fines for what they consider non compliance on ROPS, and they have the ability to transfer sales tax and property taxes where they don’t believe successor agencies or oversite board have not acted appropriately.  I think in general we our better off right now, than we would be with the trailer bill as drafted, if it was adopted.

Greg fires back and states that the State Department of Finance is getting to much power, and will even get $22 million for legal council to take on the cities and the redevelopment agencies , which I would say is close to the amount he pays out to BB&K for overpriced legal advice?  Wouldn’t you say?  Under this trailer bill we will never receive a 100% repayment for ROPS.  Well maybe the City was not doing things right to begin with, as was padding the ROPS along with other cities.  Of course you’re not going to receive 100% repayment.  But didn’t we start out with $259 million in the original ROPS submission, but $21 million remaining in ROPS limbo.  The trailer bill was meant to stop these padded submission and bring in some surgical clarity and prevent city attorney’s from taking up the state’s time while arguing their case.  Priamos than referred to a legsislative analyist from where their response to the Trailer Bill was a word of caution as opposed to an endorsement. Greg in his convoluted way continued to make no sense at council and spinned in a draconian way every response made.  Primos’s take on the $10,000 per day fine for not turning your ROPS on time, was draconian… well, now the city knows how the constituents have felt with ‘draconian’ code enforcement fines that Priamos’s city attorney’s office have been enforcing toward the constituents of the the City of Riverside, as well as the ‘draconian’ ticket violation for street sweeping when the constituent already  pay for it.  Those Council people whe represent those wards such as Councilman Mike Gardner have addressed these issues as well in a ‘draconian way’.   We must then consider Priamo’s refusal to respond to public records request regarding his departments expenses when directed toward Best, Best & Krieger…’draconian’.  Why is he protecting Best, Best & Krieger?   According to Priamos, the overall evaluation of the Trailer Bill, it’s ‘draconian’!

Councilman Andy Melendrez asked the question if cities can actually file for bankruptcy?  Priamos stated, “yes, cities can file for bankrupticies”.  That was largely done to address the concerns of the unions (possibly for unsustainable union contracts which were not negotiated in the best interest of the ‘people’ as TMC understands).   Barber even said that we spoke with our lobbyist (I’m assuming the League of California Cities), to this passing of this legislation, and said, don’t expect changes.  Incidently, can the city afford to continue to hire a lobbyist?   Davis says “it is unfortunate, not a great way to run a business”?  Did he misspoke? Barber states that we spoke to our lobbyist this afternoon, don’t expect changes of this thing (the legislation) it is  going to be past.  Councilman and Mayor Pro Tempt, Paul Davis responded to this passing of the this trailer bill legislation, “It’s really unfortunate, it’s a great way to run a business”?   Really Paul..remember this is all about Redevelopment abuse and all need to take responsibility for it, but that never happen with our city or other cities at the local level.  Unfortunately , the State saw it differently with respect that local municipalities abused their power, and in response, have intervened with an ‘iron fist’ of authority, for even at local level, local arrogance and displays of entitlements has shown the need for the State’s drastic actions and as labeled by some city execs, ‘draconian ’.

The Trailor bill validates every thing that Vivian Moreno, Dvonne Pitruzzello and Raychelle Sterling has been saying for 2 years.  They were 100% right.  So I guess that makes them really smart!  TMC would imagine that this would conincide with the cities new award, of the ‘The Most Intelligent City”.  Again, City management will try to portray them as if they had no idea what they were talking about.
