DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
WE ALL KNOW THAT THE VOTE WAS NOT A FAIR MATCH. THE DEDICATION TO CONFUSE THE
VOTERS HIT AN ALL TIME HIGH.IN THIS VOTE,BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE PEOPLE'S CONCERN TO
SAVE THE MOUNTAINS,HAD "YES MEAN NO,AND NO MEAN YES". THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT
BY INDIVIDUALS TO DEFEAT THE VOTE WERE ALL A CONFLICT OF INTEREST...SUCH AS MR.
KIBBEY'S EMAIL TO HIS LOCAL BIA(BUILDERS) TO PLEDGE$25,000 TO DEFEAT THE VOTE,AND
MR. WESSMAN,AS WELL AS OTHERS NAMED.....AND OTHERS WHO FORMED AN ALLIANCE OF
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.MR.WESSMAN IS SO DESPARTE,HE AND OTHERS TORE UP"SAVE OUR
MOUNTAIN SIGNS".
THERE IS A LAWSUIT THAT IS ACTIVE.NOT ONE GRAIN OF SAND CAN BE TOUCHED IN CHINO
CANYON UNTIL THAT SUIT IS RESOLVED. WHICH SHOULD GIVE YOU TIME TO EITHER FORCE
MR. WESSMAN TO PERFORM DOWNTOWN OR BE CONDEMMED....WE ARE STILL PAYING ON THE
ANCIENT MILLION DOLLAR BOND AT THE PLAZA. AND,HE SAID TO ME "I'LL LET DOWNTOWN
ROT". ECON 101. BUILD A GREAT DOWNTOWN,LIKE SANTA BARBARA AND THE PEOPLE WILL
COME.......NOT BUILD THOUSANDS OF HOUSES.....AND HAVE ZERO GOING ON IN THE CITY. SEEN
ANY"STARS" SHOPPING AT WALMART IN ORANGE COUNTY? SEE THEM IN TRAFFFIC, SMOG, OR
DRINKING HORRIBLE WATER?NO,THEY LIKE IT SMALL, CLEAN,PRETTY, GREAT SHOPS AND
EATS AND NO TRAFFIC.
PALM SPRINGS LONG HISTORY OF AMMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN TO SUIT THE CITY'S
WHIMS,DOWNGRADING EPA CONCERNS ABOUT WATER,AIR,MEDICAL CARE, TRAFFIC,
POLICE/FIRE,AND FAILURE,AS REQUIRED BY CEQA TO ORDER AND EIR,NO MATTER IF A
PROJECT IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,MOUNTAINSIDE,IN TOWN OR OTHER DEVELOPMENT,IS
PUTTING THE PEOPLE AND EVEN YOU AT HEALTH OR DEATH RISK THAT IS REACHING
CRIMINAL LEVELS.
PLANNING IGNORED VALLEY FEVER CONCERNS, UNTIL I SUPPLIED SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTS.
ALL HUMANS AND ANIMALS ARE AT RISK. ...NOT JUST ELDERS,LUNG COMPRISED, OR IMMUNE
COMPRINIISED FROM CANCER OR AIDS.IT COMES IN MANY FORMS,AND 40% OF THE GENERAL
POPULATION WILL SUFFER CHRONIC LUNG, ORGAN, OR BRAIN INFECTIONS...SOME LEADING TO
DEATH.
I GROW ORGANIC FRUIT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE TODAY,THEY STATED: A CONCERN FOR VALLEY FEVER FROM DISTURBING THE
SOIL,FROM PM10 LEVELS OF TINY BLOWING SAND, SO SMALL IT GOES STRAIGHT TO THE LUNG,
AND PM2.5 MICRON LEVELS OF SMALLER SAND IN THE LUNGS, WHICH MEDICAL LITERATURE
HAS PROVEN, THE SMALLER THE MATTER IN THE LUNGS,THE MORE THE DAMAGE.
NOW,WE HAVE ANOTHER"AIR RELATED" CONCERN,CALLED"FUGITIVE DUST"WHICH IS FROM
"EMISSIONS". THE WESTERN AND SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, SO CONCERNED
THEY ARE HOLDING A WORKSHOP HERE IN MAY.
SO, I ASK YOU,WHY ARE YOU BUILDING US TO ILL HEALTH..-OR DEATH? HAVE YOU LOST
YOUR HUMAN INSTINCT FOR SURVIVAL TO SHORT TERM MONEY GAINS BY A FEW?
��zoo
PALM SPRINGS IS PLAYING WITH HUMAN LIVES.....WE DON'T KNOW WHEN "THE SNUFF POINT"
WILL COME,NO WATER,NO AIR,NO HABITAT,NO SPECIES,INCLUDING HUMAN SPECIES.
YOU HAVE NO RESEARCH,BIOLOGY,MEDICAL, SOIL,WATER,AIR,TRAFFIC, OR ANYTHING ELSE.
NOT ONE PERSON IN THE CITY GOVERNMENT IS TRAINED IN ANY OF THIS AREAS,NOR DO YOU
LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY WHO SPEND THEIR LIVES,THEIR MONEY,THEIR EFFORTS
TO EDUCATE YOU.......EDUCATE YOU SO YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO,
PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND.
