Blue Mountain Outlook: Features Ferre Campaign

Blue Mountain Outlook , September 2006 Edition, made a slight attempt to not look like they support Maryetta Ferre For Mayor, and Incumbent Council Member Bea Cortez.

Blue Mountain Outlook is a Publication (I do not call it a News Paper For a Reason), that is Owned and Operated by the Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce. The BMO Publication is also aided by the contribution the City Makes Monthly by its Publication of the "City calendar Page". Note the information on that page is not limited to City Only Content. But this information is not published in the BMO as a result of it being made available for other Publications to provide this service. This No Bid, exclusive arrangement suggests a favoritism to the Current City Management, and those "In Power".

Am I Shocked... No not at all. Nor am I shocked at the fact that the Recall of Maryetta Ferre, and Lee Ann Garcia are not mentioned in relation to the impact or motivations for running for the office of Mayor.

Am I shocked that the "Mayor's Corner" was duplicated from the Grand Terrace City News Article, NO. Am I shocked that the RailDerailment did not mention the AES Power Plant, and Proposed High School. NOPE. Am I shocked that the Corporation for Better Housing paid for a concert while knowing they will have issues to bring before the City Council, and that it is a violation of the 501 c3 status of non profit corporations. Am I shocked, that this is all said as if it was normal business. NOPE but we should be.

NOR am I shocked that the non incumbents were given less coverage, in print.

WHY NOT JUST COME OUT AND SAY WHO YOU SUPPORT and that YOU RECEIVE CITY FUNDS to RUN YOUR PAPER and that is..... oh my a breach of ETHICS.... Perhaps even a Conflict of INTEREST?

ANYONE READING THE BLUE MOUNTAIN OUTLOOK SHOULD KNOW IT IS THE TOOL OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (PARTICULARLY THOSE IN REAL ESTATE SALES), AND THE CITY COUNCIL IS A TOOL OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND THEY ACT IN THEIR SELF INTEREST NOT YOURS.
