Something to Ponder: Points and Counter Points

GT city council questioned how they could meet requirement to build affordable housing without RDA. The true answer is that without RDA a municipality does not have the ability nor the mandate to build affordable housing.

EXCEPT Under the Schwab the City Over Spent Funds in such a way the RDA has to make up for past Money Spent Not on Low and Moderate Income Housing. Thanks Tom... The alternative answer is to FORCE Jacobsen to replace the Low and Moderate Income Housing he removed to provide Jack Brown of Stater Brothers the property for the Mega Staters. That was what was agreed to, but that requirement has been waived along with other requirements the community was told were part of the agreement. Gee go figure. Thanks Tom, Doug, Jack.


The Brown Act requires 48 hours notice to the press when there is a change in the council agenda.

How ironic that Assemblyman Morrell aide requested support for a "transparency bill" to require 72 hours for the assembly to receive and review a bill before it is voted upon." The GT council amended the agenda and voted to support the bill.

Yep, and our Open Council is having an Emergency, Behind Closed Doors Meeting. Don't know if they notified the News Papers or not. One must ask: What is the Rush?
