With Scot Spencer and San Bernardino International Airport, nothing is simple.
When airport officials were asked to account for three engines that Spencer used along with a Boeing 727 as collateral for a $550,000 loan from the airport, there wasn’t a yes or no answer. Instead, there was a question: Where are the engines?

According to this article, a “settlement” was reached where County “officials agreed to loan Spencer’s companies $550,000, forgive another $125,000 loan and credit $315,000 worth of rent for the first three months of 2009.”
Why isn’t Mike Ramos investigating this settlement, which seems to have occurred based only on the “threat” of a lawsuit?
Instead, he is wasting time and money challenging a settlement that was reached in front of a retired Supreme Court Justice and after a trial occurred.
