Anything Is Possible

Here we go again.The Schwab says we may possibly get $800,000 a year from the peaker station the city is swapping land for.I noticed he did not give a source for this amount. The last time he told us we were all going to be rich was the OAC. Opps we'll have to try that one again. That's another one they could not show a source for their estimates on revenue. Doesn't make any difference because if Megna, Koontz or the Schwab said it, it just has to be true.

Don't worry through its only money. Schwab does pay taxes on a house here. Of course he paid a lot less for his than the rest of us did for ours. One thing our city knows how to do is take care of the management. I'd be willing to bet that if a, lets say a City manager, got sick and God forbid, I don't want anyone to be ill, but lets say he did and couldn't work for a year or two or three. Lets say he had to stay at home, couldn't work. I'd just bet our council would keep him on full salary and benefits until he could return to work. None of that workmen's comp or disability for our guys. No sirree Bob or Tom or whoever.

So here's my proposal. They are going to build the peaker plant.

It wouldn't matter if the whole population came to council and said no we don't want it. The Schwab and the ladies on the council want it. Mr. Hilkey was the only one who had it right. Ms. Cortez probably, if you watched, has no idea what she voted for. At least she's consistence. Nice picture with the bubble gum Councilwoman. Explains a lot. Lets take say $250,000 or $300,000 a year of this money and put it into street lights. Might even reduce crime. There are dark streets all over Grand Terrace. We could have a lottery to see which streets would get them. None would be allowed in Honey Hills. That's so we know it could only partly be rigged. Nice thought but it would go against this city's policy of keeping us in the dark.

At the Council Meeting He had no answer, then "Off" the record of the Public meeting all of the sudden he comes up with the income. Has he done his homework on the project? Gads... Study up man you look like a fool.

The Power Plant will generate income for Grand Terrace, it will not increase the crime rate, or the traffic problems. It won't be as noisy as a Football game crowd, or the activities that were planned at the OAC... Ugly is a speed boat, going around and around in the water making noise, and smog, as they are some of the worst plotter's there are.

I belive Coucilman Hilkey's concerns were well founded. Not so much on the added pollution, of which there will unavoidabaly be some. His statements at the Council meeting also included that Mr. Schwab and the eletric co. were telling him something different than what was said over the years. --Posted 6/13/2005 11:20:35 AM
