More Questions: For the Miller Trial.

On the Stand:

Tom Schwab:

Mr. Schwab, did Mr. Miller participate in the negotiation and approval of the contract with City News Group?

Mr. Schwab, did you advise Mr. Miller not to vote to approve payments to City News Group? Did you advise Mrs Ferre not to approve any contracts or payments to the Water Company? Did you advise Ms Cortes not to approve payments or contracts regarding Terra Loma Real Estate?

Mr. Schwab, as a "Professional" hired to be the city's professional administrator is it not part of your duty to insure that the city's operations are done in a legal and proper way?

Mr. Schwab did you fail in your professional capacity as City Manager to advert these potential problems? Did you fail to warn the Non-Professional Part Time Citizen City Council Members that they may be approaching a case of a Conflict of Interest? How many and when did you ever give such a warning and to whom?

Mr. Schwab did you initiate the contract with the Grand Terrace City News with the hidden agenda to later use it as a means to coerce Council Member Miller to agree with "Staff Recommendations" and go along with your requests and actions. To your knowledge was this issue used by Steve Berry to try to force his desires upon the Millers? If so when.

Mr. Schwab, who and when did you inform the City Council Members about the Criminal Investigation of Steve Berry and the Window Tinting? What action was taken by the City Council? How did you explain the Window Tinting to them, there were payments approved by the council at your request. When a refund was made how did you explain that to the council with out disclosing the Investigation?

On the Stand:
Mr. Steve Berry

Mr. Berry when did you inform the City Attorney, City Manager, or Jim Miller your concerns regarding the payments made to the GT City News?

Mr. Berry didn't you yourself participate in the negotiations with the GT City News for some of the services rendered and paid for. In your Professional Opinion was it ok for you to enter into a service agreement with GTCN and it was not ok for Tom Schwab to do the same?

Mr. Berry at the first contract let by you or Mr. Schwab did you ask the City Attorney if there was a possible conflict of Interest. Did you bring it up if so to who.

Mr. Berry a news paper article you said Mr. Schwab told you to drop it and not talk about the possible conflict of interest you felt so strongly about you personally continued to make arrangements for the GTCN to provide services to the city. Is that correct? To who else did you express a concern?

Mr. Berry did you ever in public say that you would bring up conflict of interest charges against Jim Miller if Margie Miller's Paper reprinted information and the story of the Criminal Investigation into the Events of the Window Tinting. Did you not include the threat for public humiliation to accompany the arrest in your attempt to force a particular action by either Mr. Miller an elected official, or Margie Miller a member of the Press?

Mr. Berry when you were angered by the City Council's decision to terminate your employment with the city is that a fair statement?

Mr. Berry what files and records were accessed by you when you were in City Hall with a Computer Technician after hours?

Mr. Berry did you think the threat of a conflict of interest charge would silence Mrs. Miller, or cause Mr Miller to support your bid to become City Manager?

Mr. Berry have you been given any indication the DA's Office has an open case on your personal activities in either the Window Tinting Case or a case of attempted coercion of an elected official?
