You Can’t Make These Things Up!

Wow!

Crazy story from the city of Commerce in Los Angeles County. A community newspaper reported on a growing scandal involving an alleged two million dollar kickback scheme involving the mayor of Commerce and several city officials. At least two of the officials live in a gated community there. Now an  HOA board member, in the foulest imaginable verbal assault, has told the newspaper delivery guy that he’s no longer allowed to deliver the paper to homeowners in the HOA.

    Over $250,000 was paid to Attorney, from Road Maint Assessments.

    A Ballot for an undefined Benefit Unit in an Amend ment says the use of funds from the Benefit Unit is “insurance, etc.”. This is a change from ” All funds collected by assessment are to be used only for Road Maintainace and Repair.”

    Before you buy in Rancho Heights, Pala CA, match the BALLOT for the Amendment to the Filed Amendment. IF you see a possible SLUSH FUND, RUN from the purchase, or not.
