No Action Yet by Ramos.

DA Ramos took the statements of 2 "Anonymous" Complainants later to be known to be Bea Cortes and Steve Berry, and started a case against Council Member Miller.

Bea Cortes has a long history of association with DA Ramos. She travels in a circle of Developers, RDA Enthusiasts, and yes DA Ramos. She supported both of the San Bernardino bad boys Postums and Ramos in their most recent election bids.

One must ask what gives this woman so much power? Is she deeper into the RDA and Contract Letting Game than what is clearly known with the Terra Loma Involvement? We have all seen her flirtatious manner at the city council meetings. Be it Jack Brown of Stater Brother, or a new Fire Chief, or Sheriff Officer she gets all flirty asking publicly for their cell phone numbers. Is that how she gets or gives special favors? Is this why DA Ramos filed charges so fast on Jim Miller? Is this why the DA has not filed any charges against Bea Cortes and Steve Berry, and Tom Schwab for their various transgressions against the citizens of Grand Terrace.

If I were a politician I certainly would not ask for her support or endorsement. She is tainted by her past support of derelicts. If she supports you in a campaign you become suspect you are like Bill Postmus. Postums a self admitted Drug Abuser. He was arrested on drug charges - and his office is the target of a fraud and corruption probe. His situation reached out to local city officials.

When or should it be Will, DA Ramos understand it may be time to cut ties to Bea Cortes and prosecute her. After getting started in earnest he can clean GT City Hall's history and charge Schwab for Obstruction of Justice in the Berry Investigation Cover Up and Charge Berry for his alleged crimes, and clear the corruption out of the entire city hall past and present.

The City of Grand Terrace may be able to recover some of the losses by what would be its share of Court Order Restitution or Fines and Fees charged for the transgressions of these scoundrels.

District Attorney Mike Ramos Announces Endorsements High Desert ...

As a matter of fact Bea Cortes looks like an endorsement machine if you google Bea Cortes Grand Terrace endorsement you get the idea she is on a mission of some sort other than being focused on the interests of Grand Terrace.

Let's hope the next election at a minimum will take her title of Grand Terrace Council member away from her. Perhaps we can get back the funds spent on her retirement fund, and medical insurance, and any other payment made to her by the city during her time on the council. Perhaps the court could assign a Damage Charge against her and charger her beyond payments made to her.

Politicians should be servants of the people and not in it for their own edification. The Citizens of Grand Terrace have allowed our VERY PART TIME City Council Members use what should be a humble position of service into much more than it should be or was intended to be. It is time the Citizens of Grand Terrace redefine what they want from the city and city council members. OK if you don't want a Tea Party, perhaps we could all have a Root Beer Float Party and clean house and the system of self interest at City Hall.

Ramos was forced into taking action against Postums by a Grand Jurry Investigation. He was a Postums supporter orriginally. So what will it take to move him into action against Bea Cortes, a Grand Jury Indictment, or charges from a higher authority?

The endorcement game you support me I'll support you should be done with a bit more care. It may be that Bea Cortes can't sell her brand or give away her support any more. That is not sufficient for our citizens of Grand Terrace. We need to Clean the House of the City and City Council.
