PHASE II COMPLETE

Lassen Rural Bus connects with Plumas County

"Simple" is the optimum word here

................only, only....... in Lassen County

There are 7.2 Billion people that occupy our planet, 1.2 billion are Muslims

Congressman McClintock Rides on Coat tails of Democrats

Rep. McClintock Voted NO on HR 1586, but California will get $1.2 Billion despite Rep. McClintock voting "NO" on every Bill presented in the House.

He hurts California.

He hurts Lassen County

UAMPS......good for tourist dollars

..........................and LMUD Board ego's

Ray Luhring COULD NOT name one project (if his job depended on it), not ONE UAMP'S PROJECT that LMUD dollars  didn't go down the toilet  

UAMPS IS FOR BACK SLAPPING $$$$$   AND EGO BUILDING  $$$$$$ and monthly trips to Utah, for Ray Luhring and "certain" selected friends

GOOD LUCK IN TRYING TO GET THAT wasted MONEY BACK, RATEPAYERS

Cady may still have his big gun........

Did Frank Cady lose his
"Back-up Team" ?

Lassen County, a plate of spaghetti...........................

In 2005, Frank Cady had relatives in the Attorney General's office and in the California Public Utilities Commission when he and Jaimee Jones put together their phony sale of their law office to obtain public contracts.

Frank Cady and Jaimee Jones were able to fake the sale of their law firm with the help of the LMUD Board, Wayne Langston, Fred Nagel, Darrell Wood, George Sargent and Nancy Cardenas, and Judge Bradbury. The Lassen County District Attorney, Bob Burns just looked the other way when Kan We Help's complaints were filed. Judge Bradbury buried the Grand Jury complaint filed by Kan We Help.  

Jaimee Jones & Frank Cady  Commit Fraud and still practice law ?  Why aren't the LMUD Board members being charged by the District Attorney? Why haven't Jones and Cady been disbarred............Sorry, that was a really  silly question.

Cady and Jones set up a "straw entity", in Jones name, so that it would appear that he had sold the property to Jaimee Jones . U.S. Magistrate Craig Kellison then deeded his ownership (1/3) of 60 S. Lassen Street to Cady after the phony sale to Jaimee Jones. Judge Bradbury's interest was concealed until he was paid off in January of 2006.

Nancy Cardenas, George Sargent, Wayne Langston, Fred Nagel, Darrell Wood, Jay Dow, Richard Vial, Bud Bowden, Ray Luhring, Bill Stewart knew about this and DID NOTHING.

except staying out of jail. 

NICE RECORD GUYS

Empty promises, Lies,

A history of Deception

But what great times they have all had, on our money

Who will "grease the palms" of LMUD Director Nagel and Dow more, Honey Lake Power or Sierra Pacific's New Owners.

Honey Lake Power: LMUD Director Nagel owns property in Wendel and this is LMUD Director Dow's Ward and residence (and election year for Dow)

Nature Engergies (formerly Sierra Pacific Industries): Has better attorneys?

[Nature Energies offers vacation meetings in Oregon, Honey Lake offers vacation meetings in Wendel]

LMUD JOINS NCPartyA  Again

NCPA knows how to throw the best parties, in the best places

and LMUD has a history of going to ALL OF THEM and they will pay for their FRIENDS TO GO TOO !

Chittock may not be as smart as Frank Cady but he will be very useful to Wayne Langston with his "Cady" like style and easy access to the Lassen County Judges.

Look for Chittock's invoices to significantly increase in the future.

Look for Chittock to be included in LMUD's "travel" club

NCPA HAS BEEN GIVEN HUGE AMOUNTS OF RATEPAYER MONEY BY THE LMUD BOARDS AND HAS GOTTEN,

ZERO, ZERO, ZERO

Take a look

LMUD spends thousands of dollars to send three people,

Bill Stewart, Keri Richards              and Ray Luhring,

 to the NCPartyA conference in 2009.

LMUD was not a member of NCPA

LMUD RATEPAYERS BEWARE:

The LMUD President, Wayne Langston, has never been on a ballot and has never received a single vote, has supported 

 phony studies, vacation meetings, phony energy projects that have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, tried to silence ratepayers at LMUD meetings and voted to keep Frank Cady.

 Decisions that keep your electric rate high

New Susanville Veterans Affairs Medical Clinic Holds Grand Opening on August 18, 2010

Door to Door bus service is now available to our Veterans, call Lassen Rural Bus at 252-7433. Ask about the new Chester to Susanville route.

*Lassen County Times does not report on the Veterans Affairs Medical Clinic's Grand Opening, the week before or the week that it is held?

Three courts declare Frank Cady and Jaimee Jones LMUD invoices to be incorrect, $40,000 incorrect !

Yet, LMUD's new attorney, Chittock tells the court that Kan We Help is the vexatious litigant for challenging this for 7 years.

Frank Cady charged and was paid over $74,000 for the KWH v LMUD case. Three courts determined that Cady and Jones overcharged LMUD over $40,000. 

LMUD has never even attempted to collect these overcharges.

The LMUD's accountant, Bill Stewart alleges that LMUD has spent $149,000 fighting KWH. YOU DO THE MATH.

KAN WE HELP HAS FILED ONE WRIT OF MANDATE

IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, ONLY ONE

LMUD files SLAPP ACTION     Why?...... Chittock needs the money?

LMUD does not have a Chief Financial Officer

The LMUD Board gave Frank Cady and Jaimee Jones $285,000 to over $300,000 a year. WHY?

Kan We Help challenged this for years

and the

 LMUD General Manager Cady/LMUD General Counsel Jones "true" relationship in 2005.

Jaimee Jones & Frank Cady  Commit Fraud and still practice law ?  Why aren't the LMUD Board members being charged by the District Attorney? Sorry, that was a really  silly question.

Cady and Jones set up a "straw entity", in Jones name, so that it would appear that he had sold the property to Jaimee Jones . U.S. Magistrate Craig Kellison then deeded his ownership (1/3) of 60 S. Lassen Street to Cady after the phony sale to Jaimee Jones. Judge Bradbury's interest was concealed until he was paid off in January of 2006.

Nancy Cardenas, George Sargent, Wayne Langston, Fred Nagel, Darrell Wood, Jay Dow, Richard Vial, Bud Bowden, Bill Stewart knew about this and the Board DID NOTHING.

Langston's boy Chittock can not change LMUD's history

no matter how many Vexatious Litigant lawsuits he files

LMUD tried this once before in 2003, but the complaint was filed with Frank Cady's former business partner Judge Stephen Bradbury from BKC (Bradbury, Kellison,Cady).  Bradbury's response....he sent it back to his friend and did nothing

Plumas County Transportation Commission approved Lassen Rural Busses going into Chester [three times a day/6 days a week]

Motions are the bread and butter of attorneys

..........how many attorneys are declared "vexatious litigants"?

LMUD attempts SLAPP action again

 Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation actions typically are to scare the public.

LMUD's Board and General Counsel Chittock only want the public to succumb to fear and intimidation with the threat of legal costs . [LMUD minutes state that Chittock urged the LMUD Board to take this action....$$$$$$$$$$$$$ yet Chittock testified that the LMUD Board came to him]

LMUD wants to force everyone to get an attorney so as to discourage anyone from filing anything against them. This violates a constitutional right  to represent yourself. In Small Claims court you are not even  permitted to have an attorney present.

Complaints were filed with Cady's former business partner Judge Stephen Bradley (Bradbury suddenly retired after the Cady v Jones lawsuit in October 2009) but no sanctions were issued against attorney Frank Cady. In fact Judge Bradbury has always ignored Frank Cady's unethical behavior ? Could Bradbury or Frank Cady have influenced Chittock to file this latest LMUD "idiot" action?

This includes all Special Districts and the Schools

Never elected  Ward 3 LMUD Director Wayne Langston and Ward 5 LMUD Director Jay Dow will have to file papers by August 6 to be elected for another four year term.

Jay Dow was appointed (after three LMUD Directors resigned)  by the Board of Supervisors, because he would represent the ranchers in Lassen County. Dow' s first order of business was an attempt to lower the ranchers electric rates...............

LAFCO determined that LMUD has no jurisdiction over the other utility companies in Lassen County.

Only residents that live and vote in LMUD's service boundaries can vote for the LMUD Board. 

This is how it is done for Sacramento Municipal Utility District and East Bay Municipal Utility District elections.  The three Municipal Utility District's in California are governed by CPUC, Division 6. 

This is also the reason all County offices must be on the ballot whether or not anyone runs against them. The governing law requires that all candidates must be on the ballot.

Settlemire

Lassen County Times Reporter, Ruth Ellis, Rarely Reports Accurately...when she does show up for a meeting she is late or doesn't show up at all. WHY DOES THE LCT PUT HER STORIES ON THE FRONT PAGE

Her FRONT PAGE stories are less than accurate AND sanitized

FACTS NOT IN THE "7/20/10" ELLIS STORY:

At the July 12, 2010 LCTC meeting, Lassen County Supervisor Jim Chapman asked the County's Transportation Planner, Dan Douglas, if the 2 new busses are "in-service". Douglas replied no.

Douglas did not order the radios required to put these busses in service. All inspections were completed months ago. These busses just needed radios, radios that were not ordered.

These BRAND SPANKING NEW busses have been sitting in the Bus Yard for MONTHS.

Despite Dan Douglas delaying these busses from being put in service, THE PUBLIC WILL SEE THEM PARADED DOWN MAIN STREET IN SUSANVILLE DURING THE FAIR PARADE ON 7/24.

Phase II-Plumas County

Now all we have to do is coordinate public transportation in all five counties.

The new Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility opened in May of this year without service to the "front door" for our Veterans.

After six months, Kan We Help knocked down all of the "roadblocks" set up by Lassen County and the Susanville City Council. and got "FRONT DOOR" bus service, for our Veterans, to their new medical facility.

The 7,000 sq. ft. Veterans Medical Facility [at 110 Bella Way in Susanville, CA] will serve 32,000 Veterans in five counties. Presently, our Veterans have to travel to Reno, Nevada using private cars and vans.

Now all we have to do is coordinate public transportation in all five counties.

Kan We Help member and Secretary, Eileen Spencer, attended the Plumas County Transportation Commission today to ask that the Lassen County buses be allowed to pick up passengers in Chester to ride back to Susanville and that this issue be placed on their August 16, 2010 agenda. This Plumas County Transportation

Commission was not even aware of this new facility.

During the brief KWH presentation, County Supervisor Meacher picked up a magazine and put it in front of his face and County Board of Supervisors Chairperson Sharon Thrall, picked up a small document package and put it in front of her face. And we thought Lassen County was bad.... .........Susanville Mayor Kurt Bonham and County Supervisor Lloyd Keefer are no longer on the Lassen County Transportation Commission.

The Chairperson, John Larrieu, Mayor of Portola, said he would place the issue on the August 16, 2010 Agenda but this issue should have been brought up at the Board of Supervisors meeting.  Spencer explained that she had gone though this process in Lassen County and had spoken to Plumas County's Public Works Director "Marty" a month ago. Spencer was told that any changes to the bus schedule had to go through the Transportation Commission before going to the Board of Supervisors.

"Marty" told the commission that he was supposed to get a letter from Lassen County's Dan Douglas about letting Lassen County busses come in to Plumas County via Chester instead of by the Hamilton Branch bridge. After months, Mr. Douglas has yet to send the letter, any letter!

 Phase III-Sierra County, Phase IV-Modoc County, Phase V-Tehama County

Will Jay Dow (Ward 5) and Wayne Langston (Ward 3) be on the LMUD ballot in November?

Governing law of LMUD requires all candidates to be on the ballot and states that the candidate with the most votes wins.

...........same is true for county, state and national elections..........

However, the Judicial Council has budgeted (91.18.001) only $36,100 for the fiscal year 2010. The Judicial Council budgeted acquisition, preliminary plans and working drawings for 09/10. Nothing has been budgeted for fiscal year 10/11 for the $39,000,000 court house.

Under SB 1407 ($5 billion to fund 41 new or renovated court facilities) only five new Court houses were approved for 2010, Placerville, Hanford, Glendale, Ukiah and Yreka. These new courthouses will create 13,775 new jobs in California at a cost of $572,238,000.

History of the property the State of California purchased for the "alleged" NEW COURT HOUSE.

Politics in Lassen County can be tracked directly to real estate transactions. 

If you have the inside track on a big business or government agency wanting to take up residence in Lassen County you have to have a politician in your pocket. Names like Mary Fallon, Kathleen Lazard, NST, Ridgely Lazard, Stephen Bradbury can be directly connected to the court property.

This is how it works: You buy the property before anyone else finds out. Then you start selling it back and forth to your friends to drive the market price up, then suddenly it is sold to Wal-Mart or the State of California

Eugene Chittock Working Overtime to Protect LMUD Board Members From Jail

Chittock files SLAPP Motion to

"Quiet" Kan We Help

Wayne Langston, Fred Nagel, Nancy Cardenas, Darrell Wood and George Sargent knew about the Frank Cady/Jaimee Jones conspiracy in 2005. Federal and State laws were broken.

In May of 2005, the LMUD Board members (above) voted to hire Frank Cady, LMUD's attorney, to be the General Manager and keep Cady's law partner, Jaimee Jones, as their attorney. The one problem, a huge CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

ON JULY 1, 2005,

FRANK CADY AND JAIMEE RICHEY LIED TO GET PUBLIC CONTRACTS and the LMUD Board knew it

On May 4, 2005,Kan We Help sent a complaint letter to Nancy Cardenas:

Cardenas, a County Department of the Treasurer employee, testified at the Cady v Jones trial in October of 2009,  that she knew of the lies in 2005 and  did nothing, absolutely nothing ? Was she an accessory to the crime?

On September 1, 2005, Kan We Help sent a letter of complaint to the 2005 LMUD Board: 

On September 9, 2005, Kan We Help filed a Complaint with the Grand Jury:

Judge Bradbury puts Jaimee Richey on the Grand Jury    The LMUD complaint was buried by Judge Bradbury

On October 13, 2009, Jaimee Richey/Jones admits the fraud

Cady and Jones set up a "straw entity", in Jones name, so that it would appear that he had sold the property to Jaimee Jones . U.S. Magistrate Craig Kellison then deeded his ownership (1/3) of 60 S. Lassen Street to Cady after the phony sale to Jaimee Jones. Judge Bradbury's interest was concealed until he was paid off in January of 2006.

  Lassen Superior Court Prepares Groundbreaking for new court house on 7/14

DESIGN FOR LASSEN COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT

LMUD attorney, Chittock urges LMUD Board  to file a lawsuit against KWH........for what......oh yes, "Vexatious Litigation"

..........In 2002, Kan We Help filed 1 *Writ of Mandate for the Arrowrock Scam

*LMUD continues to file useless motions (reason: greedy attorneys) and has, in the past 8 years, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.......all to collect a few thousand dollars.....vexatious,  stupid or Langston/Nagel vindictiveness? Hey, it wasn't their money, it was yours.

Since 2002, LMUD has paid out over a MILLION DOLLARS for their bad behavior.

Steve Trevino, Evelyn Twitchell, Frank Cady, Connie Devlyne, Paul Glau, Hazardous Waste Fraud, Phony energy projects (Invenergy, UAMPS, Arrowrock Hydro Plant, Project 500, Non-existent Generation projects).... to mention just a few.

Chittock Refines Cady's old practices. The LMUD Board must be in 7th Heaven.

Chittock has figured a new way to get more legal fees !

1. Chittock instructs Mr. Gartner to illegally  open a "court sealed" envelope to get copies

2. Chittock extorts $7500 from Cal Sierra Title for satisfaction of  the KWH Abstract of Judgment

3. KWH has filed many Brown Act Violations, in the past 8 years, forcing LMUD to try and act "legally".

4. Chittock has allowed Board members to hide their expenses.

5. Chittock advises LMUD Board members Nagel and Langston to lie about their knowledge of the Cady/Jones Fraud.

6. Chittock, Judge Bradbury and Judge Darlington conspire to extort money and then try and hide their actions by "vacating the ruling"

....................and there is soooooooooooooo much more.

File on Mr. Chittock, file on.

This would give Kan We Help and excellent forum to expose LMUD's corrupt practices. Has the LMUD Board considered the testimony from witnesses?

LMUD was allowed to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars hiding the Arrowrock Scam and they want to blame Kan We Help

LMUD spends thousands of dollars to send three people to the NCPartyA conference.

LMUD is not a member of NCPA

When asked, Keri Richards claims that there is good information at these parties but could not name one single benefit of this conference.

Claremont Resort in Oakland

$1386 for three rooms

$1800 Registration  for 3 events (1 reception, 1 lunch, 1 reception and golf as an option)

This does not include the cost of the airfare to Oakland, a rental car, parking fees and entertaining PSREC employees. LMUD knows how to Party Hardy. 

Keri Richards has attended many of these NCPA parties during the Cady years.

Bill Stewart attended with Richards again.

LMUD took a lot of criticism for spending thousands and thousand of dollars on these luxury weekends.

NCPA got monthly checks and promoted worthless energy projects to the LMUD Boards for these expensive useless meetings. Ratepayers got nothing!

Kan We Help exposed all of the NCPA Bogus Projects.

.......none that they can find anyway. No Sierra Pacific Industries, No UAMPS, no Invenergy, no PSREC, no NCPA, no Arrowrock.

.laws were broken

Where are the indictments, Mr. Burns?

On June 26, 2008, Frank Cady filed a lawsuit against his law partner for breach of contract. The trial started October 13, 2009. A ruling was issued on 10/15/09.

   Jaimee Richey/Jones Trial Brief, Case 47131

2005 LMUD Board members (Wayne Langston, Fred Nagel, Nancy Cardenas) knew about Conflict of Interest, the conspiracy and helped hide the truth....laws were broken

Jones and Cady's abuses peaked in 2007

HISTORY:

LMUD hired their attorney (Frank Cady) on July 1, 2005 to be their General Manager and fired him January 4, 2008.

Cady's law partner, Jaimee Jones, was hired by LMUD as their General Counsel (in November of 2005) even though strong objections were made by Kan We Help that there was a clear conflict of interest. LMUD fired Jones on January 27, 2009

Nancy Cardenas testified at the October/2009 trial that Cady participated in the hiring of his law partner. 

She covered up a crime.   Where   is   the   indictment,   Mr. Burns?

Kan We Help filed a Conflict of Interest complaint with District Attorney, Robert Burns that was ignored.

Kan We Help filed Brown Act Violations with District Attorney, Robert Burns but it ended up as a gesture of insincerity

On September 9, 2005, Kan We Help then filed a Grand Jury Complaint that was quashed by Judge Stephen Bradbury (Cady's former business partner)

Jaimee Richey (Shown in photo) and Frank Cady not truthful about partnership and ownership of real property and much more.............gross misconduct. Laws were broken.       Link to page 2-9

Ms. France admits she did not call anyone. She did not call the Veterans Clinic, MV Transportation, City of Susanville, City of Susanville Attorney. NO fact checking whatsoever, and then she decided not to publish the Letter to the Editor

Kan We Help Gets FRONT DOOR  BUS SERVICE FOR VETS TO NEW Veterans Medical Facility

.....despite the shameful indifference by Susanville City Council members, Lassen County Board of Supervisors

and the Lassen County Times Editor, Barbara France

Not one member of the Transportation Commission has been to the new Veterans Clinic

Susanville Veteran Tom Robinson, Army First Division, Fort Riley, Kansas, was the first Veteran to ride the Lassen Rural Bus from his home to the front door of the new Veterans Affairs Diamond View Medical Clinic at 110 Bella Way, in Susanville, CA. According to the Clinic staff, more than 3200 veterans, in four counties (Sierra, Modoc, Plumas and Lassen), have been identified to use this facility. 

Dan Douglas decided:1) he will not route LRB buses to VA Clinic 2) no room for bus stop on Johnstonville Road, 3) drop Veterans off on side of building because there is no turnaround on the property. Mr. Douglas didn't do anything even after he was told that the original plans put a Turnaround in. It was his job to review the plans for this new clinic, he didn't do that. Then, he ignored requests for the rocks to be removed in front of the turnaround. HE JUST DID NOT CARE, probably because he saw the indifference by the Board of Supervisors and the Susanville City Council members. Just shameful.

  On May 17, 2010, KWH member, Eileen Spencer,  asked Susanville Fire Chief ,Ted Friedline to arrange for the rocks to be moved  that blocked the Turnaround. Safety Codes require a 20' clearance for firetrucks. This turnaround was included in the original plans. The plans have always been available to the public and public "officials"

Shameful, diabolical, contemptible, outrageous, disgusting, despicable, flagrant, scandalous, unworthy

  Six kings sit on their thrones: L to R: Doug Sayers, Kurt Bonham, Bob Pyle, Jack Hanson, Jim Chapman, Joe Franco ADD: Lloyd Keefer

Not a single Susanville Council member or a single County Board of Supervisor made a phone call, visited the VA Medical Center and actually were offended that their time was wasted on this subject.

They all should have been embarrassed not angry.

Jim Chapman and Jack Hanson did not like being criticized for their indifference. They intend to curb public criticism at future meetings. All because they got caught with "I don't care about this, now go away". Other speakers were given time enough to make their presentations, which was and is the right thing to do.

How arrogant these men were to dismiss this issue. How dare them.

Jack Hanson was the only one that yelled

at a speaker to divert the fact that he hadn't done anything in six months. All six men were offended that "this" subject was brought before them. Maybe they had better things to do. Maybe providing this service was just not important enough for the men on the Lassen County Transportation Commission

Mr. Robinson will not have to go to Reno for medical treatment anymore.

Mr. Robinson called "Dial-A-Ride" to take him home.

 Is there only just "one" reason why LMUD blocked the signatures ?

...perhaps a check was  issued but never mailed (?) (Frank Cady used to do that and the LMUD Board went along with it)

LMUD attorney, Eugene Cady Chittock instructs LMUD to hide signatures.

                                                                                              ...........here we go again.................more to this story than meets the eye folks and we will give it to you!

Ray Luhring cannot approve any expenditure in excess of $10,000 without Board approval. This issue has never been placed on any LMUD Agenda.

Brown Act Violation:

 Renegy, Nature Energies, or the Biomass Plant have NEVER been on ANY LMUD AGENDA, EVER. Eugene Chittock, LMUD's attorney, condoned this.  This is right out of Frank Cady's playbook.

LMUD's Black Magic Trick is BACK

It is called the LMUD Rope-A-Dope

The LMUD Controller has many years of experience in fooling the public.

Bill Stewart managed to manipulate almost a million dollars in LMUD's Employee health care account down to a few thousand dollars overnight.  

Bill Stewart was allowed to do the same with the Public Benefit Fund. One day there was three quarters of a million dollars in the fund and then practically overnight there was only a few thousand dollars in the account. Stewart refused to account for where the money went and refused public disclosure of all of the applications for this Public Fund.

Now he has the protection of his wife's employer, Eugene Chittock (LMUD's attorney)

Now, LMUD's Controller is up to his old tricks.

With a waive of his wand       (over the naive Bowden, Dow and Vial) Bill Stewart will magically and possibly illegally change the account.....name of the  "RATE STABILIZATION FUND" to "BOARD RESTRICTED FUNDS". 

keep up now, we don't want to lose you,

Now, watch the bouncing balls, Wizard Stewart NOW wants to move $1,500,000 from the RESTRICTED FUNDS TO "UNRESTRICTED FUNDS" (General Fund)

. Keep in mind that the Rate Stabilization Fund, by Resolution,  must remain at $3,000,000 and cannot be used unless there is a financial crisis.

Next, the $4,500,000 that LMUD claims is in the Rate Stabilization fund is made up of a Letter of Credit for $1,500,000 (?backed by a CD?). (WAPA required this Letter of Credit because of LMUD's financial instability).

If LMUD moves $1,500,000 into the General Funds (Unrestricted Account) TECHNICALLY, that leaves only $1,500,000 of real cash in the Rate Stabilization Fund/Restricted Funds. (CAUTION: you may experience a slight  blurriness at this point)

RESULT OF THIS UNETHICAL POSSIBLY ILLEGAL MOVE:

The Rate Stabilization money will "Poof".....disappear

The LMUD Board made the LMUD ratepayers suffer for five years of rate increases in order to "build up the Rate Stabilization Fund to avoid any crisis"

UPDATE: The Board did not listen to Bill Stewart and decided not to move the $1.5 million of the Rate Stabilization Fund to the General Fund.  This action was only temporary because they got caught. Once the Account Name (Rate Stabilization Fund to Restricted Funds) is changed (which is never done unless you are planning on doing something illegal), LMUD will find a way to take that $1.5 million dollars. The monthly Balance Sheet will be monitored very closely

Memorial Day this year is May 31, 2010

What are you doing to honor our Veterans?

What more can we be doing to honor our Veterans?

City of Susanville displays Banners

.......but Lassen County Supervisors and the Susanville City Council members don't lift a finger to make sure that our local Veterans that are serving or have served our country get a ride to the FRONT DOOR

 OF THE NEW VETERANS MEDICAL FACILITY IN SUSANVILLE.

Eileen Spencer, Secretary of Kan We Help, has been trying to get bus service, to the front door of this new facility, since last December

As this project neared completion, Spencer attempted to get the City of Susanville involved with providing a bus stop at the Veterans building. but was told that this is private property and that bus service is handled through the County.

Spencer attended the next scheduled County Transportation Commission, held in March of 2010. Spencer witnessed a deep apathy by this Commission that is made up of the Lassen County Supervisors and the Susanville City Council. The only Commissioner that showed any interest was Lassen County Supervisor Brian Dahle.  The Commission agreed to place this issue on their May 10, 2010 Agenda. The only decision that came out of the May meeting was that the County had decided to drop our local Veterans off, on the side of the street, near the Medical Facility.

After further research Ms. Spencer discovered that the original plans provided for a "Turnaround". This Turnaround was required by the Susanville Fire Department so that fire trucks can access the property and be able to get in and out. Not one City Council member knew this or brought it up at the May meeting. NOT ONE.

Then, for some unknown reason large boulders were placed in front of the Turnaround that prohibited the fire trucks from accessing this Turnaround. Susanville Safety Codes require a 20' clearance according to the Susanville Fire Chief. Susanville Fire Chief Ted Friedline ordered the boulders to be removed.

This blocked Turnaround is 60' in circumference. The  12' opening did not meet the Safety Code

Eileen Spencer submitted a "Letter to the Editor" on May 19, 2010 to let the public know about the resistance and sad apathy to our local Veterans by our elected officials. Barbara France refused to print this letter. In the same week, Editor of the Lassen County Times writes about her enduring "PAIN".  Her Editorials are always about herself, her family or her religion. When is it time to look past her personal news.

DOES MS. FRANCE THINK THAT OUR VETERANS SUFFER NO PAIN?

Barbara France refused to print this Letter to the Editor. She claimed that the "opinions" needed fact checking. Her Reporter, Ruth Ellis, who covered the Transportation Commission meetings didn't bother to write about the events at the meeting. NO FOLLOW-UP PHONE CALLS, no interest, NOTHING. Was the May meeting too controversial for her limited talents or  did she write the entire story and Barbara France cut it.  NOT GOOD EITHER WAY..

What makes some businesses succeed and

others fail ?

Most of Susanville's storefronts are empty. They've been empty for years and years. Occasionally you see new businesses move in but last only a few months. So what makes these local businesses succeed more than FIVE YEARS with Wal-Mart down the street? What is their secret?

Susanville Veterans Medical Facility

Now Open

Dan Douglas, the man of the hour.

Dan is in charge of Lassen County buses, routes, administration,  procedures and THE PERSON that made the decision to drop our Veterans on the side of the road.

Dan is the man Del Donoho, MV Transportation operates the bus line, reports to. Mr. Donoho was told to drop our Veterans on the side of the medical facility and not at the front door. 

Dan is the man Larry Millar, Dan's boss, listens to and "Dan",  is the man that doesn't have a clue what he is doing.

Lassen County Board of Supervisors and the Susanville City Council Members

NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING LOCAL VETERANS?

The new Susanville Federal Veterans Medical Facility opened on May 3 and after months of review these lazy "idiots" have not come up with a bus stop to the front door of the facility.

We did ask pretty please.....................but nobody cared

The Developers, the Soule's (Dale & Linda), always planned for bus access on the original plans so that our Veterans can be brought to the front door but the Lassen County Transportation Commission continues to sit on their thumbs.

Twelve foot opening violates City Safety Codes. Firetrucks need a 20' clearance. The opening is 31' across if the rocks were removed.

Lassen County Supervisors Named in Child Rape Case

First term, US Congressman McClintock

on Wrong Side of Issue for Lassen County

........or he just may not have done his homework

In 2009, Lassen County received $538,206 in PILT payments for 1,650,000 acres of federal land

The Western Counties Alliance is a Republican "talking points" group that monitors the "Payments in Lieu of Taxes" for western states that receive Federal subsidies for Federally owned lands in their states. Lassen County receives PILT funds.

In 2005, President Bush cut these funds to the Counties by one third.

California received the second highest PILT payment for Non-use Federal lands in 2009, $34,397,858. Only New Mexico received more at $37,013,334.

In 2007, California received $21,026,411 in PILT funds

In 2008, California received $33,234,973 in PILT funds

In 2009, California received $34,397,858 in PILT funds

We should ask Congressman McClintock how he voted on this issue, since he has a record of voting NO on every spending issue since November 4, 2008.

The land owners in Lassen County should not be concerned with McClintock's objection to more PILT lands being designated but more concerned that Lassen County is not getting  their fair share of the Federal "Payments in lieu of Taxes".

2009

Department of Interior PILT Disbursements

Lassen County received $538,206 for 1,650,00 acres

Los Angeles County received $1,243,691 for 708,500 acres

Fresno County received $1,739,068 for 1,500,000 acres

Imperial County received $3,093,802 for 1,350,000 acres

Congressman McClintock gets Headlines in the Lassen County Times for making statements in Herlong (not at the Susanville town hall meeting days before) because he received copies of what every other Congressman received to-date. ???????

WHO IS HE REALLY LOOKING OUT FOR.....................CORPORATIONS AND HUGE LAND OWNERS?

Do we deserve another DOOLITTLE?

Bumbling and Indifference....incompetence?

Lassen County Transportation Planner, Dan Douglas chose a $200,000 Automated phone system for Lassen Rural Bus over buying two (2) badly needed buses.

On May 10, 2010, the Transportation Commission voted to reject the $200,000 ARRA FTA 5311 IVR Project  money. This project was chosen, by Mr. Douglas, over buying two badly needed new buses.  This Automated Customer Service and Operational Trip Reporting system would have allowed the public to listen to transit route information 24/7. 

The State Recovery funds would have paid for the $200,000 software for this system but after the "NO" vote, went back into the empty State coffers.

 Larry Millar, Executive Director of the County Transportation Department, told the Commissioners that the annual $14,000 upgrades would've had to  have been paid by the County. The Commissioners unanimously rejected this project and lost the opportunity to fund at least two badly needed buses due to Mr. Douglas's mis-management.

Dan Douglas.......In charge of our County buses.

Susanville's New 7,000 square foot Veterans Health Care Facility

110 Bella  Way, Susanville, California

Property owned and developed by Dale and Linda Soule

But, NO BUS STOP FOR THE VETERANS

Lassen County Transportation Planner, Dan Douglas, not the least bit interested in providing door to door bus service, for our Veterans, to the new medical facility at the Transportation Commission's March 8, 2010 meeting. Mr. Douglas claimed that there was no room (below) on Johnstonville Road for a bus stop at the new Veterans Medical Center.

At their March 8, 2010 meeting, the Lassen County Transportation Commission agreed to put the "Veterans Bus Stop" issue on their May 10, 2010 Agenda.

March 8, 2010, Transportation Commission meeting. Left to right:  Doug Sayers, Kurt Bonham, Bob Pyle,

Jack Hanson, Jim Chapman, Joe Franco (March 8, 2010)

Today, the Lassen County Transportation Project Manager, Cynthia Raschein ttold the Commissioners

that the "Developers" were unwilling to discuss the bus stop at the Medical Center but the County Bus could be routed to stop on the side of the veterans building ( Bella Way) and let the Veterans off there. Our Veterans then could walk down the sidewalk and around the building to the front door. Bella Way is a dead end street and the County would have to negotiate permission from the business, at the end of the street, to turn the bus around in their parking lot.  THIS WAS CYNTHIA RASCHEINS SOLUTION, FOR THE COMMISSIONERS, TO PROVIDE BUS SERVICE TO THE NEW VETERANS MEDICAL FACILITY FOR OUR VETERANS.

                                                   Left to right:  Cynthia Raschein, Larry Millar

No one, absolutely no one (this includes all the County Transportation Commissioners, comprised of 3 County Supervisors and 3 members of the Susanville City Council),  thought this issue was important enough to look at the plans

                    that are available at the City of Susanville across the street.

Dan Douglas & Cynthia Raschein had two months to research

the Veterans Medical Facility bus stop issue for the May 10, 2010 meeting

KWH fact check:

The original plans call for three phases. Phase I is complete. Phase I provides for a 60' graded turn around that not only  Susanville fire trucks can turn around in but the County Buses can turn around in. This plan allows for the Veterans to be taken to the front door of the medical facility the day it opens........

                 The sixty foot graded Turnaround for traffic in Original plans

now blocked by boulders?

SHOULD WE PROVIDE "DOOR TO DOOR" BUS SERVICE FOR OUR VETERANS in LASSEN COUNTY?..........ask these people;

 Dan Douglas (not at 5/10/10 meeting), Cynthia Raschein, Kurt Bonham (not at 5/10/10 meeting), Jim Chapman (not at 5/10/10 meeting), Chairperson Jack Hanson, Bob Pyle (not at 5/10/10 meeting) , Doug Sayers, Joe Franco, Brian Dahle, Lloyd Keefer

COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLANNER,

 DAN DOUGLAS, ALSO IGNORED A PETITION SIGNED BY 63 CITIZENS

This petition asked for a safe bus stop at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart provided a kiosk here for their customers to wait for Lassen Rural Bus to pick them up. This kiosk was taken away when Wal-Mart began an extensive re-model.  Dan Douglas has made no real effort to replace this kiosk and placed the Wal-Mart stop on  Riverside Street. This bus stop is a disgrace and is not maintained or even considered for maintenance. Our Seniors and the Handicap have been given a dangerous place to wait for the County bus.

Fred & Theresa Nagel's son-n-law, Wayne Langston, will file, to run (in November/2010) for the LMUD Board,

but no one will get to vote for him or not vote for him.

Lassen County Times, December 29, 2009 

Ruralite-May 2010

Why the change of heart?

According to the CPUC and LMUD's  PDCA Policy, only the General Manager can present a "Rate Change" report to the LMUD Board

Bill Stewart has assumed more authority than was allowed under fired General Manager Frank Cady?

WHO IS REALLY RUNNING LASSEN MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT?

LMUD rates reduced from $.14 to $.13 After the coldest winter in a long time...this could have been done a year and half ago when energy costs started to decline.

Motivation: The Nagel's son-in-law, Wayne Langston, is up for ?re-election? this year.

(Wayne Langston has never appeared on any LMUD ballot, ever. He was appointed to the LMUD Board because he needed free Health Care insurance and stayed on without ever being elected.) 

Langston was required to run for this office and his name had to be on a ballot. Langston was required, by law, to have his name placed on the ballot. His mother-in-law (County Clerk Theresa Nagel) refused to put his name on the ballot. As a result, Langston never received any votes. CPUC, Div. 6, 11654 states that a LMUD candidate for office must receive the highest number of votes to be declared the winner. You cannot achieve this without being on the LMUD ballot. All Langston had to do was vote for himself.

The County Clerk can declare a person that has no one running against them the winner if the governing law does not state they must be on a ballot and receive votes.  County Supervisors, District Attorney, Sheriff positions all need to be on a ballot even though they have no opponents. All LMUD candidates must be on the ballot, according to CPUC, Div. 6, 11654. Langston has never, ever been on a LMUD ballot.

CPUC DIVISION 6-11654

Frank Cady's bogus PDCA formula was approved in 2005 to by-pass public hearings that are mandated by the CPUC.

This illegal formula allows for increases of  "five" cent increments, but LMUD claimed for years that they had no way to reduce rates under this policy?

Cady and the Board first created a controversy (smoke screen) by proposing to raise the BASIC rate charge to $25.00. This created the public outrage they needed to then (a few weeks later) slip in the PDCA policy that let Cady raise the rates without any public hearing. SLEAZE, SLEAZE, SLEAZE. The rates then proceeded from $11.5 to $.14 without ANY LEGITIMATE REASON, without any public hearing.

Fred Nagel says that he is afraid of a lawsuit for not "agendizing the reduction of rates"......that's just CRAP. Nagel and Langston have violated the Brown Act so many times we stopped counting. Complaints have been filed and ignored by District Attorney Robert Burns for years.

What's new?  Nothing. Nagel has voted for the last five LMUD rate increases because he lives and votes in the PSREC District and the rate increases DO NOT EFFECT HIM.

FRED NAGEL, BILL STEWART AND RAY LUHRING ARE  FULL OF CRAP ....given the history of LMUD deceit,  their statements, in this article,  are an insult.

What.....the LMUD AGENDA was NOT APPROVED BY CHITTOCK? Eugene Chittock, asleep at the switch.................

This is not the first time Langston & Nagel have thrown out the law

Less Government or Better Government?

Congressman McClintock & Assemblyman Logue have spent this entire term voting NO on everything.

Left: District 4 Congressman Tom McClintock and District 3, California Assemblyman Dan Logue at Town Hall meeting "FOR JOBS"

Congressman Tom McClintock and Assemblyman Dan Logue held a town meeting on "jobs & taxes" in California at Lassen Community College this morning. In this two hour meeting, local corporations (Banner Medical, PSREC, Sierra Pacific, Honey Lake Power, Surprise Valley Electric, LMUD) and business owners complained about the business climate in California.

These two gentlemen, who represent Lassen County have spent their entire term of office voting NO on everything. Their voting record is available to the public.  It's not just NO with these guys, but HELL NO.

McClintock has never sponsored a single bill......EVER ?

McClintock Co-sponsored a bill to release Stabilization Funds on January 6, 2009.......that's it folks

Both do not have a single act, on their record, of doing anything?

There were a lot of complaints that government was prohibiting them from making more money. One gentleman complained that the Americans for Disabilities Act was digging into his profits. Others complained that we needed to get rid of environmental laws that were draining their profits. Insurance Agent Richard Parker (RECALLED LMUD director ) complained that the business climate is so bad in Lassen County that there was no one to sell his insurance too.

These same people pay people to look for the "free" money that government hands out to them and complain now that it is no longer there.

Better government is needed and we need to find BETTER representation to make that happen. What Lassen County, California, and this country needs are harder working elected officials that don't get elected with "CHEAP applause line rhetoric" and then sit on their asses.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT MC CLINTOCK AND LOGUE HAVE DONE AND WE DESERVE BETTER.

Less Government or Better Government?

Action: Repeal AB 32 that Republican Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law in 2006

MEETING OVERVIEW:

This meeting was orchestrated by Assemblyman Logue for the purpose of bringing forward "business" representatives from our community to promote their profits and to

reduce and/or eliminate laws and safeguards that have been enacted to protect the consumer and our families.

Message: Let's eliminate clean water and air regulations so my business can increase profits. Let's eliminate laws and regulations that prevent ground pollution to help increase my profits for my business.

 Let's use Wal-Mart

as our business model for PROFIT, as represented by the profits that they report, forgetting that these profits are generated on how they treat and pay their employees. Let's privatize all government programs and agencies and let the private sector perform these services, forgetting that these same programs and services are not designed to make a

profit.

 To privatize these same programs and services would require an increase in costs to provide a profit, and/or reduce programs and services to provide a profit.

NO  NO NO NO NO

THIS WAS A MEETING TO GENERATE GREED AND PROFIT OFF THE BACKS OF THE PUBLIC. THIS MEETING, AND THE PRESENTERS,

REPRESENTED A MICROCOSM OF THE GREED AND SELF SERVING ATTITUDE JUST DISPLAYED BY GOLDMAN - SACHS AT THEIR TESTIMONY

Ahhhh, remember when?

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission cancelled the Arrowrock License after Kan We Help  filed Motions to Intervene. No activity on this license for 12 years was the final reason FERC terminated this license.  The Boise Project Board of Control peddled this 60 MW project for 12 years to small unsuspecting (?) public utilities.

LMUD diddled with this phony 60 MW hydro project for five years (2000-2005), paying Frank Cady hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep it secret. Kan We Help exposed this scam in 2002 after discovering that the Feasibility Study that LMUD ratepayers paid for was a study that had been completed, in October 2001, by the Boise Project Board of Control (five irrigators in Idaho). The FRAUD: Frank Cady/Wayne Langston/Darrell Wood, Louie Templeton, Richard Parker, Marino Giannotti, Nancy Cardenas, George Sargent, Al Vazques, Fred Nagel   lied to the public about this Feasibility Study.

The public was told the money was going to pay for this study and that it would be released to the public when complete.

busted !!!!

On June 14, 2005, LMUD decided to withdraw from the Arrowrock Hydro Project.

The sad thing is, the LMUD Boards continue to perpetrate  phony projects on the public.

The LMUD Boards and General Managers have been unwilling to tell the truth about anything?

President Obama reduced taxes for 95% of the country and TAXES  are at their lowest in 20 years.

President Obama signed into law that "guns" are allowed in National Parks.

President Obama signed into law equal pay for women. 

President Obama signed into law health care reform that will allow 32 million people to get health care in the private sector.

President Obama saved this country from the "mess" that was left by President Bush.

INVENERGY moves ahead on Wind energy but leaves LMUD behind

PSREC Co-generation plant, Invenergy Project, Project 500, all bogus........UAMPS will be no different 

Invenergy came into Lassen County, in 2007,  with big promises of a $40 million dollar investment in Lassen Municipal Utility Districts transmission lines. Frank Cady flew the LMUD Board members and the entire management staff  to Colorado for a vacation/meeting just before he was fired by the new LMUD Board (three Board Members quit because of the pending scandal with Frank Cady).

In late September of 2009, Invenergy completely pulled out on their "pie-in-the-sky" promises to LMUD.

LMUD spent thousands of dollars on this project. 

[HINT: When the LMUD Board votes to spend money on "studies", you can guarantee the vacation/meetings will increase and the Back room deals begin]

Invenergy never paid LMUD back for the $50,000 PGE study.

PSREC has "two" representatives on the LMUD Board

LMUD Director Wayne Langston was a PSREC customer when LMUD gave PSREC the Prison and Herlong customers

LMUD Director Fred Nagel was and still is a PSREC customer when LMUD gave PSREC the Prison and Herlong customers

LMUD continues to "diddle" with UAMPS

Bottom line: No market for natural gas

UAMPS, JUST A PILE OF CRAP.

UAMPS, like the Arrowrock people, are looking for a naive utility board to sell their lies

(But General Manager Ray Luhring continues to enjoy his Utah vacations at the expense of LMUD ratepayers)

President Obama Signs Final Health Care Reform Bill

The Bill President Obama signed today includes historic changes in education making college education more affordable

1: Ends subsidies to special interest private lending companies

2. Doubles funding for Pell Grants to help more students afford a college education

3. Will cap a graduate's annual student loan repayments at 10% of his or her income.

4. Helps an additional 5 million Americans earn degrees and certificates over the next 10 years by revitalizing programming at our nation's community colleges

History of the property the State of California purchased for the "alleged" $39 Million NEW COURT HOUSE.

"Politics" in Lassen County can be tracked directly to real estate transactions. 

If you have the inside track on a big business or government agency wanting to take up residence in Lassen County you have to have a politician in your pocket. Names like Mary Fallon, Kathleen Lazard, NST, Ridgely Lazard, Stephen Bradbury can be directly connected to the court property.

This is how it works: You buy the property before anyone else finds out. Then you start selling it back and forth to your friends to drive the market price up, then suddenly it is sold to Wal-Mart or the State of California 

New Court house property:

1989-Robbins sells to Dunlap/Stoffel

1992- Dunlap/Stoffel sell this property to Robbins.

1994- Robbins sells to Ridenoure

2008-Ridenoure to the State of California

4.2 Acres near Wal-Mart (also previously owned by Robbins)

District 4 Congressman McClintock Votes No on "Jobs Bill" that would have brought money and jobs to Lassen County.

This guy votes "No" on EVERYTHING.

....fortunately the Democrats passed this bill. now let's see if this guy works to bring money and jobs into Lassen County after he voted NO on the JOBS  BILL?

1935 Social Security Act

Let's revisit the 1935 Social Security Act campaign. When the Act was passed it did not include women and minorities. Only white males. [284 Democrats vote for Social Security, 81 Republicans voted for it]

The taxes for Social Security were first deducted in 1937 and the first recipient was Ernest Ackerman. Mr. Ackerman paid five cents into the program and received a lump sum payout of 17 cents. In 2009 51 million Americans received $650 billion in benefits.

A citizen has to "apply" for Social Security.

Republicans took this new legislation to the Supreme Court twice, and lost. Republicans fought the mandate for all working Americans participation in Social Security. They lost.

.......government returns your tax money to you and SOMEHOW THAT IS BAD...........The difference between Democrats and Republicans

LMUD Board Members change Compensation & Reporting Rules

On February 24, 2009, the LMUD Board passed a new rule that required Board Member "reports" to be complete, detailed and factual.

Yet the General Manager and Accountant continue to approve "incomplete, undetailed and unfactual" reports. The General Manager, Ray Luhring allows certain Board Members to hide their expenses. He puts their expenses on his credit card, so that the public cannot find out how much all of these "meetings" are costing the ratepayers. This practice has been going on for 19 years. IT HAS TO STOP.

Fred Nagel lied on this report

LMUD Board Members have History of Abuses

LMUD Board changes compensation rules

OLD 1990 RULE: "Meetings with constituents, speeches made at the request of outside organizations and meetings with community groups are not compensible under this rule"

If you look, at the past 20 years of Board reports, you will find that this rule was violated each month. Even though complaints have been filed over this issue, the LMUD General Manager and LMUD Board Members continued to abuse this rule.

NEW 2009 RULE: "A compensable day of service shall include: attendance at publicly noticed regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors, Board committee meetings, ad hoc committee meetings, other publicly noticed meetings where the Board member is representing the District, giving testimony on behalf of the District at legislative, legal, or other proceedings, meetings with LMUD staff or customers relating to LMUD business, conferences and organized educational activities or any other meetings or business reasonably intended to be in the furtherance of the business and interest of LMUD."
