More on Cortes

Nothing will come out of the same crimes committed by Cortes that Miller was indicted for. Carlstrom was Ferre's campaign manager. This goes deeper than voting on the consent calendar. Cortes, as a member of the RDA, as well as the City Council voted on every property deal the City had with Terra Loma. There were plenty of RDA houses that were sold to the city by Carlstrom and plenty that were sold by Carlstrom. The Council and City Attorney were well aware of who Cortes worked for. Remember when Cortes announced from the Dias she was looking for a job and the next thing we saw was Cortes mug plastered on Terra Loma Reality ads saying she was a real estate sales person for Terra Loma and the ads also stated she was "Mayor Pro Tem" of Grand Terrace. I do believe this site has the ads in it's archives.

Actually the Level of Conflict is different. Jim Miller never was party to the negotiation of price and contract, and there were competitive bids taken for the News Paper Ads. Where as there were no competitive bids for the "Services" provided by Terra Loma. Terra Loma got its fingers into the Grand Terrace Taxpayer's Pie by the Good Old Boy selection method. This would raise the level of Conflict of Interest on Cortes case as being a higher level of transgression if it ever were charged in a court.

Some what odd that Terra Loma will end the Contracts with the city rather than end the relationship with Cortes when Cortes claims she has not sold a house for over a year. Why is he keeping a non producer in his Office?
