"I think in no uncertain terms that each of the council members have said we are not going to use eminent domain, and we haven't," Ferre said.
Garcia agrees. "There will be no eminent domain with Jo Stringfield's property," she said. "I am not for it."
Below is Garcia Hearing a review of How SHE has failed the Community and Citizens, yet she takes no actual action to correct the situations mentioned INCLUDING Release of ED THREAT on Jo Stringfield's Property
The Eminent Domain Reform Needed is not just for Jo Stringfield's Property Rights. IT is for EVERY Citizen In Grand Terrace. The Council has not Changed the City Ordinance 187 to Remove the Use of Eminent Domain. The Council Has not Released Jo Stringfield from the Threat or Notice of Intent or Interest in her Property. THE CITY and These Council Members still have not REMOVED officially by Legal Notice to Jo Stringfiled, or by a Change in the City's Ordinances that Property Rights are Protected in Grand Terrace. Further More Council Member Cortez is Offically listed as being Opposed to the Prop 90 Eminent Domain Reform at the State Level, along with the League of California Cities, they the Council NEED to be Recalled, Replaced and Reformed.
Their Actions not their words to the Reporters should be what is judged. They need to be Removed from the City Council. Their Continued misleading statements should be cause enough.
Gramps: That is the point, I am glad it is clear to you.

Dear Stephen: Here is what has transpired :
Bill asked for the information. IN a formal FOI Letter. He was given some materials after a delay, but not sufficient documents to trace the entire transaction. Then at the last council Meeting Mr. Schwab came up with the verbal explanation he sold the car to Mr. Berry. IF that is true it would be shown with Documents... NONE were provided. IF that is true it was done without public notice.
The Car was purchased with RDA FUNDS a Violation as shown in the State Auditors Report and the Charge Number on the Check written to pay for the Car. The Sale of the Car should have been placed in that fund. But there has been no proof of that offered.
This is a small ice chip of what lies beneath a larger iceberg SHOULD you want to look with your official function as the Legitimate Press.
May I add I will not be telling "US" who Gramps Is or Is not. WHO is the "US" that wants to know and how is that related to the story, that knowing who Gramps is the tilting point for your coverage of the issues in GT?
***********************************************************************
ATTEMPT TO LOCATE CITY ASSETS CONTINUES
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR PURCHASED FOR
THE USE CITY MANAGER?
Dear Gramps,
I sent this to Councilman Miller who is in charge of the Traffic Committee. Gramps you may post with my name.
Dear Councilman Miller,
Just the other day I received an email from Mr. Berry regarding the Traffic ad-hock committee. Albeit Vice Chairman Youngman requested Deputy Eversol to speak we are going to be addressed at the next meeting by Lt. Guerra. Mr. Berry relayed the message from Mr. Schwab that any questions we have for the Lt. must first be submitted to him.
I would guess that would eliminate any questions that might embarrass the City or the Sheriff's Office. I am only presuming that spontaneous questions will not be entertained. So, if I may, since you are over Mr. Schwab I would prefer, if you will, to go directly to the top, only because my efforts of dealing with the bottom produced no results. I might add no results that by law I have a right to.
Here Sir, is my question for the Lt. "Lt. Guerra. Here is the Vehicle Identification Number to a City owned 1996 Ford Crown Victoria 2FALP74W6TX185814. Lt. would you please run this number through DMV and tell me what happened to it. City Hall can't." I requested from the City what happened to this vehicle that was used by Mr. Schwab and then replaced by a Dodge Durango Cherry Red in color, which by the way I have not seen at City Hall. Has it also been replaced or lost. The staff at City Hall informs me that no documents exist regarding the Ford.
Thank You.
Bill Hays

Interesting but telling thanks...
Here you have it folks. The Sun Telegram is not interested in Covering an Investigation unless Criminal Charges have been filed. They will not follow up on a Lead or a Story even when given a Real Person’s Name as a Contact Point.
The Sun Telegram’s Need to Expose who GrandPaTerrace is clearly motivated by an interest by members of the City Council and City Management not related to the reality of the issue of the Car Deal, the House Deal, the City Management, or the Relationship the city has with being OPEN to the Sun Telegram’s Investigations and Requests. Yeah they print what the City Tells them, Have they ever INVESTIGATED something independent of the City’s Press Releases? NO.
PERHAPS you should call and cancel your subscriptions. Or call Stephen Wall’s Boss.
