Partial Disclosure of Back Room Deals

Bill Hays got a partial answer to his burning question, who is the negotiator, and who is the negotiating party.

Well, the city negotiator is the City Manager, and Redevelopment Agency Director non other than Mr. Tom Schwab.

The person Identified as the Negotiator representing the "Interested Party" is Bobby Forbes a local realtor.

WHO Ms Forbes is representing has not been disclosed.

Why is this in the Public Interest.

Well, to begin with, in the past, the city has negotiated a Purchase of a Redevelopment House, and then provided that Home to None other than the Negotiator in this deal, Mr. Schwab.

In regards to this particular home, there is reason to question the reason for the city to pre install lavish features at tax payers expense and interest, for a buyer who remains unknown. Has a member of our Council purchased the house? or a Friend of the Council. Or is Mr. Schwab trading up to the house he designed for him self? We can only speculate. Why can we only speculate, well, perhaps because they meet behind closed doors.

Oh what sport.
