JOHN ZENITH IS NOT AN ATTORNEY

Kurt Bonham is not an auditor

Frank Decker Cady wants to be a Judge in Lassen County Superior Court  = =

Lassen Municipal Utility District fired him & his partner

ANYONE KNOW WHEN CADY WILL LEAVE TOWN?

LMUD EMPLOYEES HAVE HAD ENOUGH

Sexual harassment must end at LMUD. It should have ended with Twitchell, but Cady just paid her $100,000 to leave and keep quiet. 

Will Fred and Theresa Nagel fund Cady's campaign?

The Nagel family still owns

 the Susanville Golf Course !!

 Public records indicate that on April 28, 1968 the Nagels created a corporation, Lost Meadows Golf and Recreation Club, Inc.  for the property now referred to as Susanville's public golf course's BACK NINE.( This corporation was only needed temporarily and no longer exits. The Nagels created a trust to handle future deals)

On September 3, 1968, the City of Susanville passed Resolution 68-1023 that essentially was an agreement to purchase land from this corporation.   

On September 4, 1968, it was made to appear that  Fred Nagels parents gave the City of Susanville the property now known as the "Back Nine" of the Susanville City public golf course, simply not true.  

In the fine print, if Susanville wanted to use the property for anything other than a golf course, the property reverted back to the Nagels. Every time any property was sold off for residential reasons, the City would have to buy it from the Nagels.

Not a bad deal for the Nagels. The City is exempt from any taxation. The Nagels don't pay any taxes on the property while it is in the City's name. These "land deals" have been going on since 1968.

It gets better......May 30, 2006, Frank Cady (LMUD's General Manager) [Keep in mind that Fred Nagel is on the LMUD Board] files for change of ownership in the corporation managing the golf course, Sickles Golf Associates, Inc. (SGA was formed May, 24, 1999) . Presently, Frank Cady's SGA is a post office box at the UPS store in Susanville.

Cady then takes out a loan of $1.4 million dollars for improvements to the golf course. Plumas Bank and the City of Susanville both  approve Cady's use of the golf course as collateral for his loan.  

April 2007, one year later, Frank Cady suddenly defaults on his "million dollar" loan. NO ONE in the City of Susanville or Plumas Bank wants to know what Cady did with the money. NO ONE goes after Frank Cady's assets to pay back his loan. WHY?  

The Susanville City Council works out a deal  with Plumas Bank to settle Frank Cady's loan for approximately $300,000 (public money).  A trickle down scandal that left the City without a City Manager (Luanne Rainey) and City Attorney (Kathleen Lazard).

The Golf course now has its "Back Nine".  Surprise: the value, of this new "Back Nine",  is significantly increased and if the City wanted to create any new parcels to sell, the process starts all over again......they have to buy it from the Nagels first.

It gets better and better............

On March 3, 2010 the City approves Resolution 10-4614

A "deal" has been made with the Nagels

Kurt Bonham abstains from voting on this resolution but  "signs off" on this Deal

go figure?

Bonham continues to fulfill his usefulness to the Nagels and the Cady's

The public will never know how much went into "whose" pockets

Bonham may have been promised the County "Auditor" position for his role in this....whadaya think?

Kurt Bonham is not an auditor

What business is he really in?

Bonham "copyrighted" these photos on his website, why?

LMUD was served with the Federal

 Job discrimination lawsuit for Sexual Discrimination

 (2:10-cv-0286-MCE-DAD) on 2/3/10

Connie Devlyne, Krsto Knezevich and Paul Glau's attorney, Joseph Maloney,  filed their Federal lawsuit on February 3, 2010. Federal court records indicate that LMUD was served on 2/4/1010.

The LMUD Board and LMUD's attorney Eugene Chittock were well aware of this lawsuit before they had their February 23, 2010 Board meeting.

The LMUD Board identified this existing lawsuit on their 2/23/10 closed session agenda as "Significant exposure to litigation"

WHAT GAME IS LMUD PLAYING?

When will the problem children (Langston & Nagel) be removed from this board?

The LMUD Board's history continues to show gross mis-handling of the public's business

Evelyn Twitchell was paid $100,000 for her silence of Cady's actions

Steve Trevino was paid $622,000 . (LMUD's support of Cady's actions)

The LMUD Board has spent over $100,000 to collect $7,500 from Cal Sierra Title Company for the KWH v LMUD award.

LMUD has spent over $1,000,000 in the last eight years to cover up their huge management mistakes

That's just what we know about...............

We don't know how much they spent on the falsification of Federal Forms for illegally transporting hazardous waste

DOES ATTORNEY  CHITTOCK REALLY HAVE THE GUTS TO BE A "CADY" for the LMUD Board?

Langston & Nagel could do ANYTHING they wanted with the LMUD money, because they had Frank Cady to pull strings with the Courts and the District Attorney

The public really believes that LMUD's need for an attorney is to protect the public utility.

All Frank Cady (LMUD's attorney from 1985-2007  ) did was manage to keep the crooked board members out-of-jail. It took $200,000-$300,000 a year to do this.

IS THAT WHY CHITTOCK TOOK THIS JOB..........FOR THE SLEAZY PAYCHECK?

?????? Chittock used to be LMUD's biggest critic.

Now.....................?

LMUD Employees File Lawsuit for

Harassment

Paul Glau and two other LMUD employees recently filed a Harassment lawsuit against LMUD Board members Langston and Nagel & LMUD GM Ray Luhring.

Conflict of interest must be discussed in open session....oops....a Brown Act violation

Lassen County Times, 3/2/10

The LMUD Board's history continues to show gross mis-handling of the public's business

Evelyn Twitchell was paid $100,000 for her silence of Cady's actions

Steve Trevino was paid $622,000 . (LMUD's support of Cady's actions)

The LMUD Board has spent over $100,000 to collect $7,500 from Cal Sierra Title Company for the KWH v LMUD award.

LMUD announces phony UAMPS study for bogus natural gas project

LMUD pays for these studies but never releases them because they don't exist.

What does this money really pay for?

Quiz: Can you name the elected official that has been arrested three times for a DUI

and still holds the office?

e-mail the answer to: kanwehelp.exec.committee@frontiernet.net

LMUD WHINES THAT THEIR "CUSTOMERS" CAN'T PAY THEIR BILLS

SOLUTION: lower the "f_ _ _ ing" rates

LMUD has been and still is the worst managed public utility in the State of California.

The only time these so-called protectors (LMUD Board) will react is when they hear from 100, 200, 300 ratepayers.

9,000 homes are paying TOO MUCH FOR ELECTRICITY IN LASSEN  COUNTY

Lassen County ranches and businesses are paying TOO MUCH for electricity

You want your rates lowered, pick up your phone and call 257-4174

Call these Board members at home, write letters demanding the rates be lowered.

        Let's help poor LMUD with their problem......................

DYER MTN. OWNER, MR. CHOO & his cousin

FINANCIALLY OVER EXTENDED??

This man owes money to TOO MANY PEOPLE (millions and millions and millions)

Tax Liens up the kazoo?

Is this man just a player? Michael Choo and his cousin David buy property to use as leverage on money owed on other property to leverage money owed on "other" property....and our laws allow him to do this.

Dyer Mountain Resort...........highly unlikely now or in the future

LMUD General Manager continues to pay for food, lodging and travel expenses for Rocky Deal

Rocky Deal is not a LMUD Board member nor  is he an employee

Kinda looks really bad..............................kinda looks like a gift of public funds......kinda sorta...............

LMUD misleads public about involvement with UAMPS, a political organization in Utah

First, UAMPS does not sell power.

LMUD is disguising membership payments ($1,000-$4,000 monthly) as power purchases. LMUD's Controller, Bill Stewart, hid payments to NCPA the same way until KWH exposed his creative accounting.

 NCPA and UAMPS are similar energy projects, they don't exist.

LMUD Board members traveled extensively under the premise of these phony energy projects. Country Clubs and ski resorts were the destinations of these vacation/meetings. Often, the entire LMUD Board would go, LMUD Management and their attorney and friends. (Frank Cady paid for all of LMUD management and the Board to go to Colorado right before he was fired: Invenergy) This is fully documented by public records.

Second, why would any public entity financially support a Joint Powers Agreement unless there was  a potential of financial gain or plans of participating in the program.? ANSWER: they wouldn't.

This Utah company cannot raise money in Utah, why? Like the Boise Project Board of Controls in Idaho (Arrowrock scam), they have taken their show on the road in hopes of finding gullible idiots like the  maniacal Ego driven LMUD Board. Invenergy, Arrowrock, Resource 500.........there are so many to mention.

LMUD fully intends to obligate LMUD ratepayers in this bogus project

General Manager, Ray Luhring is on the UAMPS Board and Jay Dow was put on the Joint Powers Agreement

Lassen Municipal Utility District Wastes thousands of dollars on "NEW" website

The management at Lassen Municipal Utility District has changed/upgraded their website three times in the last ten years and it  still is dysfunctional. Take a look at the way it looks today It has never been maintained and don't look for this new version to be maintained either. Try and find current minutes or current agendas.....ain't there and don't expect anything to change with the "NEW LOOK"

Lassen County Auditor Karen Fouch is not retiring

Fouch has done a more than an excellent job as Lassen County Auditor and in 2010 will run again for her office.

*****

Susanville Councilperson Kurt Bonham announced last week that he will be running for Fouch's job. Considering he was elected for one term on the Susanville City Council and was only elected because of the support from Jim Chapman and the fact that he did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the City of Susanville it is rather arrogant for Bonham to presume he is qualified for this high position. Maybe even absurd.............

Bonham has supported Frank Cady and the Nagels. This does not qualify him to run for anything.

Kan We Help will post Mr. Bonham's "political" history for the last ten years and it is not pretty. This history will include details of his involvement with Susanville's golf course, the creation of parcels for private profiteering and so much more.

Federal Credit Card Reforms

Kick In February 22, 2010

Also, Credit Card companies cannot charge a fee for phone payments or on-line payments

Credit Card Companies raised their interest rates in anticipation of new federal regulations. Customers with very good credit also received these increases. Obviously there needs to be more regulations to protect the consumer from these obscene policies.

    2010   WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD AWARD

South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer stated on January 25, 2010:

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that."
