Reasons To Fear Living in Grand Terrace:
In a small town called Grand Terrace, Ca. In San Bernardino County, we have a population of about 13,000. Eminent Domain is now the rule of law, save an act of Congress. The developers, whom County Supervisor Hansbergers, father is one, and has had his son help him in various real estate deals, have taken over. Hansbergers wife recently resigned as Mayor of Loma Linda Ca. because of the pressure she received for helping her father-in-law get a development deal done in Loma Linda.
Tom Postmus is mentioned in todays Riverside Press-Enterprise in a charter school scandal that is alleged to have "misused" millions in taxpayers dollars.(http://www.sbcounty@pe.com/ ) Mr. Postmus is the head of the Republican party here and is Chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
A woman named Lynn Gross was found murdered in her home last week in Loma Linda. The newspaper was quick to mention that Ms. Gross was a lone hold out on a redevelopment project there and did battle with the city council and the developer.
We have a city manager that was allowed to buy a Redevelopment Agency house with a $38,000 rehabilitation done to it. He paid around $140,000 for the house and the City carried the loan for him for a while. The Redevelopment Agency guidelines state that these houses are for low to moderate income people. Our City manager makes over $110,000 a year.
The secretary for our redevelopment agency was allowed to do the same. She got the sweet deal. Her house took $40,000 to rehabilitate and she received a silent second of $44,000. A silent second should be no more that 10% of the purchase price. There are no interest payments or principle payments due until the house is sold. If ever.
I have now watched my neighbors removed by what amounts to nothing more than force. The folks on Barton Road in my community were told to deal with Jacobson Family Holdings L.L.C. or face eminent domain proceedings.
We have a lone holdout also. The reason for their removal is so a Lowes, a Stater Brothers Market and a new library can go in. We already have a library located at city hall. The new one will cost us $7000 a month to lease the space. The library is a ruse to use eminent domain on these poor folks.
Rep. Lewis secured a $500,000 grant to study the moving of a freeway off ramp back 1/10 of a mile on the I-215 for the city council on a project that now has been found to be unfeasible. He did this before the City Planning Commission or the City Council voted on the project.
We have accumulated evidence for about three years and need an Federal investigation into the activies of this city council. Please, our young men and women are fighting for the rights of people in far away lands to live in there own homes in peace. That no corrupt goverments can take what is theirs away from them to make someone else rich. Should we not be afforded the same rights that American blood is being shed for in other countries?
How many times have you heard "home ownership is at its highest ever". It won't be for long if Congress does not act to restore the rights of the American home owner. How many Senators or Members Of the House will face eminent domain and have everything they worked for taken by a forced sale by our goverment.
How many Hovertowns will be built, or will they be called DomainVills, or in the case of Grand Terrace SchwabCamps.
(For the historical impaired, Hovertowns were camps of homeless people who were often forced out of their homes, during the Hover Era)
