HILKEY and the LAW:

Is Council Member Herman Hilkey someone we want giving us advice about attorney fees?

Hilkey filed suite against the school district regarding his termination.

Is this helping Education, Teachers or Students?

'Rotten' Firing Sparks Lawsuit

FONTANA - A former school district director has filed a lawsuit against the district school board claiming the board acted wrongly when it fired him in December. The suit says the Fontana Unified School District board failed to accurately follow the recommendations of its hearing officer when it terminated Herman Hilkey, the district's former director of facilities planning and special projects. The suit claims the hearing officer, Michael Prihar, only advised Hilkey be demoted, not terminated. ......

Perhaps Council Member Herman Hilkey only thinks a law suite should be pursued if the Citizens of Grand Terrace will benefit financially by bringing suite against the City. No the purpose of this suit is so that Citizens can know of and or stop the shenanigans going on at City Hall, or the City Redevelopment Agency or what ever strange organization currently tramping on the citizens rights in this city.

Yes, OAC and Town Center and even the Senior Center are still suspect. There is no real current plan, no real current city plan and yet contractors and developers have been selected without competitive bids, and with real open government processes having taken place. Back room deals, back peddling, and all have debased the trust in our local government to a point that legal action is the only action a citizen or citizens have to voice their concerns, and have them heard. Legal action is the only action the city hears. So go forth and file suit.

Don't let Hilkey the hypocrite suggest the Suit against the City is unfounded. Look at the recent events, there is just cause to raise question and file suit on nearly every city and redevelopment action taken by this city. It isn't about Ducks Hilkey.
