Library Hoax continues to get Press:

When you read someone saying "We can't have a Library because we have lost Lowes", be alert.
At no time did the city write a funding restriction on the use of funds resulting on the "Increased Tax Revenues" of any of the stores in the Town Center. The Highgrove Happening's Virginia Harford suggests in her "Opinion" that the Library lost 500,000.00 of support. HOG wash. Virginia, Lowes would have cost the Operations of the City so much there would have been a negative impact on available funds for services such as a Library or Youth Services.

The Library was a Hoax from the On-set. First it was to be rented back to the City. The city would finance monthly rent/lease payable to Jacobsen. Then it was said or rumored to be FREE. Never has there been a real budget, cost of operations, or plan to move the library in a coordinated well thought out plan between the City or the County... It is after all a County Library. Don't listen to any one who links the Lack of a Library plan with an individual protecting their property rights. Any one making such a connection is promoting fiction and lies. If they are trying to dupe you on this issue, where else are they leading you?

Here we go down another path... Of Flawed Logic. IF there is no Town Center, you will starve to Death... Yes that is Right... Stater Brothers will close it's current store, and the roads will be closed any your families will go hungry. After all, none of the former farms function in Grand Terrace, we have forgotten how to be self sufficient. We'd all sit on the curb, cry and wither away into dust.

HOG WASH. Stater's would negotiate either to buy or lease in its current space and continue to make good money off of the citizens of Grand Terrace. IF they could not come to terms a different market, Cardenas, Fiesta Foods, Food For Less, Trader Joe's, Maxie's Foods, any number of grocery providers will move into this market area, long before your tears will dry as you sit crying on the curb.

What you may never recover is your right to a Good Fair Government, and your Property Rights, if the practices used by the Jacobsen family Holdings and Tom Schwab City Dictator are allowed to be perpetuated.

Yes, individual's have vested individual interests in the big picture. Go ahead Move out of town Jack food will get to Grand Terrace.

Virginia if you want to live behind a Lowes, and Chili's, I suggest parking an RV in their parking lots for a week. See what you are bringing to town.... For the fiction of tax income.

Now, to the other press coverage. YOU like Virginia perpetuate the same lies, and false rational. Why is it the city officials are never asked the detailed questions, or for supporting data to their statements. In the Blue Mt. Outlook, the person who said, "thank GOD for Eminent Domain" was quoted as saying "thank Goodness for Eminent domain". This is not the garden of Eden.. But somehow, I don't think you'd find a Lowes in that garden either.

Continued Attention, Critical Attention must be paid to the Town Center Development and Developer. Continued Attention, Critical Attention Must be paid to the Management of our City.

Issues still abound: Action is still needed:

A hearty thanks to all those who have been and will be active citizens in the process. There are many ways to contribute to the community. We are fortunate to have this freedom. It is work to keep this freedom.
