I guess that will be news to the unemployed farm workers in the Valley. Mendota is at what 48 % unemployment because of democrat enacted laws. I wwould suggest you speak with those same people. They will inform you that the county lost $700,000 because they did not spend it in time. You want the number or do you have it already? Then you can clean up your "fecal factory". - bearer Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:13:39 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16056 "take it back" as they get it first to begin with. And in the CA legislature you do not need a simple majority you need a super majority which is not achievable without the vote of a few from the Party of NO. Guess what you get from the party of NO - NO thing. Yeah, those wild liberals Dukemajian, Wilson and Ahnuld, they really made a mess didn't they? Oh, wait, that's right - it was all Davis' fault. Didn't Ahnuld just impose the DMV fees that he beat Davis over the head with during the recall? Bearer, you need to set up an appointment with Kelly and Eric (don't forget to take notes) - what your pulling from your arse doesn't belong on the posts, it belongs over at the Fecal Factory. - Donna Christopher Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:33:20 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16040 It takes a supermajority to get anything done? Are you serious? There have been more restrictive, freedom taking, people harming laws passed in the last 20+ years under a Democrat majority than any time in history. There are towns with 50% unemployment in California because of Democrat passed laws. If the $700,ooo was county money then how could the state take it back? Are you suggesting that the Democrats in Sacramento have passed laws making thievery and stealing of money a law? Or was it that in order to not go in the RED the county had to let the money go back to the state and then on to another county that could spend the money this fiscal year? - bearer Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:41:08 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16039 County)money to begin with. You do not know that the property tax money goes to the state first. You do not know that they send back to us that which the deem is necessary. You do not know that it is unknown if we will get that 700k back or not and that it had absolutely nothing to do with the County not spending it fast enough - but it did have EVERYTHING to do with the fact that Kelly has kept us in the black budgetwise. You do not know that on a local level that is a very good thing - on the state level however it just makes for easy pickin's. Twenty percent of property tax being diverted to redevelopment (aka making the rich richer) wasn't my idea - it would be better spent on social programs locally. But since were up to are armpits in redevelopment alligators we can only hope in the long run it will work out. In the short run we may find ourselves stepping over the bodies of others as they drop dead from lack of services. The only thing more brain dead than our governator is having a system where a supermajority in the legislature is needed to get anything done. We have met the enemy and he be we. - Donna Christopher Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:39:45 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16026 My point was money is being diverted from social programs to fund programs that involve more government control. I mean, isnt that the usual democrat rant. Taking care of the people is the mantra for new taxes. As far as the socialism angle, people would be better served being cared for on the local level by family first, and locally funded non profits. Donna, what do you mean the state is not buying a damn thing here? You are saying you do not know about the matching funds the county puts up to get money from the state? You do not know the county lost $700,000 because they couldnt find a place to spend it fast enough. - bearer Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:17:06 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16024 Bearer, you seemed to be one of the no socialism in my backyard ranters in the past. So now you say government should fund socialist programs for its seniors. I'm sure you can't be saying that about the evil government that takes away your rights and money to help others. Ken - Nscale Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:29:39 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16022 NSBA member? If you're buying Kenny's crap I hope you aren't paying wholesale for it. Clay made a couple of the Shoreline Area Plan meetings and Kenny made NONE. The plan has been adopted. I'm sorry you do not understand how Redevelopment works, the State isn't buying a darn thing around here. I'd explain it to you but there is guy on the payroll at the county that can do it since he's getting paid for such chores - Eric Seely 263-2360. - Donna Christopher Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:47:41 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16019 In fact you seem to agree with me while starting your header with disagreeing. Sacramento politicians allocate billions of dollars for the state to buy up property. Those billions could be used for real needs rather than counties buying and selling waterfront property like our county does. (Clearlake Oaks) As far as the northsore, you have people like Kenny Partlet and Shannon holding court on our future. That thought right there should scare any thnking citizen. - bearer Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:21:54 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16018 never a vote on redevelopment except the ones the Supervisors took. Please note that the Supe that voted for that in D3 was replaced. Had we the people been asked do you want 20% of your property taxes going to redevelopment or do you want schools, firehouses, senior programs etc funded I have no doubt the answer would be different. Went to UL this morning, the town is watching the tearing up of Main street for the repaving. Some of the wood stamped concrete sidewalks are already done and being used. The general consensus of the ol' boys sitting in the morning sun in front of the coffee shop was 'waste of money, it'll be worn off in no time'. They were enjoying the morning sunshine as you have a very hard time accessing the business district of UL so there was no stampede of folks trying to get to their businesses. - Donna Christopher Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:50:43 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16017 Just curious what programs people would be willing to cut? Maybe the state could fund senior programs with the money it gives counties to buy up property? Hasnt the county spent more then what the programs losy just buying up land in Lake county? There is only so much money. Your elected Democrats voted to spend the money on buying land over the seniors. - bearer Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:57:52 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16013 http://www.aahsa.org/ see what's happening on a National level! - lenny Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:36:58 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/11018/919/#comment-16011 What an outstanding program for our community.

And the Governator is one of the biggest dummies to walk this earth. Keeping family members at home and out of nursing homes/long term care facilities is as fiscally responsible as the government/public interface gets. - Donna Christopher Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:32:07 +0100
