The FBI served six federal warrants this morning at the Inland Valley Development Agency and the San Bernardino International Airport Authority in San Bernardino.
A throng of agents gathered outside the offices at 294 S. Leland Norton Way at San Bernardino International Airport to serve the warrants.
The warrants are part of a joint investigation led by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, the state Attorney General’s Office and the FBI, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Additional agents were scattered in other areas of the airport, including Million Air.

I’m been saying it for weeks. Mayor Pat Morris and his four stooges on the city council, all of whom serve on the Airport Authority board as a member or alternate, are going to be held accountable for their horrendous mismanagement of funds at the San Bernardino Airport as well as their association with convicted felon scott spencer.
Halt, don’t take that sheet, this is the FBI.
Pull your pants up.
bad boys bad boys what’s ya going to do when they come for you.
That goes out to Ovitt, PonTell, Devil roe, Mitzelfelt, and the rest of the bad boy crew!
Justice is coming for all of us that have been screwed over by our corrupt leaders and the puppets they have working for them! Seeing the FBI going into the head offices of the board of supervisors and the CEO’s office is sweet! I think I may have to copy this picture and hang it on my refrigerator. I can’t wait until the indictments start coming in.
Funny how the FBI has seem to serve more search warrants in a week than Ramos has in several years related to such issues.
OMG, just read the Grand Jury report on this airport. Gotta ask, who the hell is watching the hen house? Someone done made a kabooki amount of scratch, green, moola and dough.

Traci, When did yhe FBI search the head office of the Board of Supervisors? And the CEO’s office? did I miss something?
SBCo is going to have a new supervisor who can’t be bought and who can’t buy an election. The corruption will stop.

Looks like Derry was correct….the airport scam is a scam! Good job Neil.
15..pretty funny! Things are always weird at NUTBLOG.COM! She of course is the weirdest.
Last I heard LITTLR STEVIE WONDER was wandering around looking for a little back door action.
Jim Morrison, have you been e-verified?
Thanks Jim, we need to jam sometime.
Wow, way to go Pat, Jerry and Josie, this guy Scott Spencer must be a real charmer! Is this part of the IVDA/ SBIAA vision for the City/ County of San Berdoo doo that you boyz are puttin’ together with the Devil and SanBAG, along your contractors/ consultants (or should I call them CONSTRUCTORS or visionaries like Stevie PonTell/ LaJolla Institute) AECOM/DMJM/EDAW?
Here’s more proof that the numbers just don’t make sense here and that the County has had a grand roll in setting this whole boondoggle up for FAILURE. With the assessed values being touted by Morris beginning at $1.5B (w or w/o contamination costs?) rising to $5B as the apparent current appraised value of renovated and improved facilities, WHO’S MAKING THE CALL ON THESE VALUATIONS!? The County Assessor’s Office, less Postmus, that’s who.
Another funny thing is the way the government reports JOBS CREATED for these types of projects. How can they have an airport without an operating passenger terminal tout creating 4200 permanent jobs, WHERE ARE THEY RIGHT NOW? I know we have those pretty empty terminal buildings sitting there (just ready to be used, if only we could get an airline), looking at it from a pure job creation standpoint, those are some mighty expensive jobs at $833K a whack.
Looks like it gets down to another Colonies-type “gift of public funds” to a developer (sorry JB, bet you’re jealous), but this time, lets skip the DA Mikey and Moonbeam John/ Jane Doe phase and get right to the FBI line-up… bring in the clowns… Morris/Gonzales/Lewis/Spencer. Josie, who ever thought u might be able to beat Postmus, Biane and Ovitt into the federal pen? Are you still willing to participate in making MARK KIRK THE FALL GUY for Stupidvisor Gary “Oh, not me” Ovitt in the COLONIES DEBACLE and the associated evil-doings of the Devil of a CEO?
Better be straight this time with the Feds, otherwise like Jim used to say, time to BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE (and get ready to meet Bubbita aka “Lug-nut” your new roommie).
Now that the FBI IS IN COUNTY, guess there’s a weekly briefing at The Sun Editorial Board meeting being held for “damage-control” and to report to SBCo. CEO Devilreaux about the weekly FBI raid events.
Looks like the Devil of a CEO still thinks he can keep that lid down tight… don’t want any of those REPORTS OF CORRUPTION leaking-out!
Devil: “What did you tell them (the FBI) Pat, we’ve been practicing this now for over a year, YOU KNOW NOTHING! Repeat after me, Pat, YOU KNOW NOTHING!”
Morris: “I know nothing, YOU KNOW NOTHING! What have you been doing Greg, listening to Penman again? Can’t you get your boyz with BB&K to take him OUT OF HERE? Bet he called the feds on us anyway, not Neil. Can’t you have BB&K send him to one of their LA contract cities or something, like maybe he can take Ed’s place for BB&K down in Bell City, that will teach him to stop messin’ with the Mayor!”
Devil: “OK, I’ll talk with Gary about it, he knows all the judges down there. Maybe Penman wants to be a judge (ha, ha, ha).”
Morris: “Or maybe we can just get rid of him locally, lets bury him under the new I-215, or should we wait for the consultants to build our LAKES AND STREAMS?”
Devil: “Can’t wait that long… think I’ll blame the price escalations of my I-215 SanBAG project on the City of San Berdoo doo anyway. U W/S people are easy targets… just don’t know how to get out of the way of progress!! Damn the torpedoes, think we’ve been hit enough by these FEDERAL AGENTS by now, just hopel they don’t figure out that we aren’t following the Uniform Relocation Act for paying these folks forward on this here DESIGN-BUILD engineering and construction money-pit.”
Is it only me, but has anyone else noticed Little Stevie Wonder is always writing about jail, Bubba, back door men etc. Is this some sort of Freudian thing?
How does Devereaux get the blame for the failed airport, which any reasonable person could foresee failure. Just look at Ontario’s (OAI) airports downward spirial! How could a start-up make it in todays economy? Especially as a passenger airport? Commerical and Private Aviation maybe! Devereaux inhearted the airport, it was not created on his watch!!!
@Justice Overdue. Its because Devereaux failed to e-verify the Ontario Airport employees.
@Derry’s birdy. Its always been my understanding that OIA has and still is under the control of LAX. Not the city of Ontario or Its past city manager, so how was Devereaux’s responsibility to e-verify?
Mr. 90210:
You know who you are and I want divulge your identity. Please refrain from the all of your ranting. Your fascination with Tory Spelling is all well and good. But please give it a rest. Your non-sensical posts are bordering on spam.
I’ve never had to block a user. Please don’t force me to make you the first.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I just looked.
Fact Check: The same admonition directed to Mr. 90210 is directed at you as well. InlandPolitics.com allows un-moderated comments as a courtesy and to promote dialogue. Not sillyness!
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Administrator, go ahead and block my ip address. Don’t care. I agree with Derry’s birdy and his many aliases and alter egos. This site is spam. It’s impossible to have an intelligent discussion regarding a posted topic without individuals such as Traci or what the hell or whoever using it to air their personal issues or attack others. I guess one may as well join them in their silliness which would pertain to much of what is posted here.
A better solution would be to expend some energy as any good site administrator would and moderate the comments, not allowing posting of personal attacks by anyone.
At the end of the day this site is really not that important and it obviously provides some comic relief for many of us.
Alternatively you could e-verify everyone who posts here and I’m sure Derry’s birdy would agree.
It was fun while it lasted. Hope Little Stevie Wonder doesn’t get fired from the County and finds his back-door man.
Hey Derry’s birdy, Lard Ass, Whitey McWhite and your many other personalities, it was fun joshing with ya and the other un e-verified bros of the blog.
Unfortunately the Administrator has called the immigration service on me so I had to give up my County job running e-verify on the undocumented (we must not use illegal in describing them according to Pinwheel Traci) compadres applying for welfare.
I’m going to be moseying down back to Mexico to the old stomping grounds until mi compadres complete their re-taking of the homeland from you gringos.
My offer still stands, if you ever want to be a rodeo clown here in one of the bullrings.
Until then via con Obama.
Who, Postmus? Knew that was you.
Little Stevie Wonder, so you still want to be my friend for that little back-door action? We have to be careful metting like this. The Administrator may ban you next.
When I go to Jail do you think you could put a word in with your cus Bubba for me?
