The plot thickens regarding a piece of prime San Bernardino County-owned real estate this Sunday morning.
Sources say The Lewis Group of Companies is quietly letting it be known they would like to see select pieces of a 1,200 acre parcel of flood-control real estate put up for sale, even in a down market.
A move that would screw over county taxpayers while at the same time make the land available to the Lewis on the cheap.
The Lewis Companies has engaged Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford to do their bidding to get the parcel in play once again.
The only problem is Rutherford, who is not known for common sense, tried to play the idea publicly with the local newspapers.
The result? Questions, questions, and more questions.
Talk about putting something on the radar screen!
The not-so-bright public move likely put the land matter, already the focus of one local probe, also on the scope of state and federal investigators.
Anyways, it’s doubtful Rutherford’s colleagues will be warm to her actions on the issue, unless Supervisor Josie Gonzales, another Lewis puppet, can find two other board members gullible enough to put the land up for sale.
A transaction requiring a four-fifths vote.
On another front, sources say Rutherford may have her own serious legal issue to deal with shortly.
We’ll soon know for sure.
Janice has common sense, so I don’t know where this is coming from? Maybe someone else was in line for said land? I wonder who???
Try JB and the Lewis Co., a partnership made in Devilreaux’s hell.
No one entity or person should be in line for anything, when government lets out a contract it should be for the benefit of the taxpayers not the entity competing for the contract. This property should be auctioned off just like the grand jury recommended, where competitors and government officials can see whose hands get raised for what bid. The days of entities wanting to be chosen as governments partner without a proper public notice and fair competition needs to be banished forever from San Bernardino County. Taxpayers will win and the Lewis family monopoly will end.
An open auction is the only solution! Let the voters get a little of that sunshine they keep selling us!
with crooks like OVitt you can bet its all fixed. Ovitt belongs in a prison.
In regards to Janice Rutherford, if you want to know which side she is on concerning any issue, just find out which person is a Mormon, as she is, and that’s the side she will take. Truth and common sense are all relative to her. Janice gets her marching orders from the Latter Day Saints in Utah. She does not make her own decisions without first seeking how such a decision serves the LDS Mormon Church.
Oh Great! Rutherford is a mormon! Oh great. ThATS ALL WE NEED a person who belongs to a cult making decisions. Its like asking the local Satan, Devilreaux, to deal with things honestly. Devilreaux and Ovitt: two evil pieces of crap.
