Oh... Tim - I have that right now; sorry for the error. The interim CPO wrote me as Mr. Kirkwood, before the most recent escape, but things like that happened and his latest letter got it right. My Letter to the Editor after the escape from the YSC some time ago noted some of the vulnerabilities of their new facility, (SMDJ - 3/19/2008) expresses more of my concerns: Dear Editor, There are those that have now said that we know how Josue Raul Orozco escaped from the Youth Service Center and it is…

Gee Tom, you sound like you want my resume! Since you challenged me you can honor or dishonor my views by reading of my profile on Classmates.com. I am a California high school graduate, you know! Yes, I do know a lot about the juvenile justice and the criminal justice system; I have visited all 3 facilities juvenile camps in the county several times and a lot more camps, jails and prisons throughout the state.... What do you think was the weight of the alleged murderer of the camp escapee who made…

Raiding Proposition 84 Funds is a Political Crime Both Senator Yee and Assemblyman Hill propose legislation: SB 650 and AB 650, that "would allocate $10 million to [Half Moon Bay] from a pool of $5.4 billion in Proposition 84 funds that state residents approved in 2006 to protect the quality of California's water supply. That money would pay for more than half of the $18 million lawsuit settlement the city owes to developer Charles "Chop" Keenan and lay the groundwork for the creation of a community…

Once again, another escape from Camp Glenwood. The Sheriff’s office has reported an escape from Camp Glenwood boys’ detention facility in La Honda at about noon today." First report was that it was a "walkaway," but we should know better by now. Any inmate out of supervision and off grounds should be treated as an escape and a petition should be filed and later sustain with a comcommtant punishment for the escape. At minimum, that should be in a locked down facility to complete programming unless…

Well, HMB did get a break from $41 million and negotiated to $18 million. Ill tempered judge or not, the next judge may have cut $41 million in half and you would have had to go to the supreme court.
It is not nice to fool around with mother nature or ill tempered judges!
Returning it to the trial court is not a big thing happens ofter ubless it is a negotiated plea or settlement...; HMB should have kept it in stse court. More bad legal advice and decisions by ill-tempered politicians.

This site in the CA Gov't Code may be useful on disincorporation that applies: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=gov&group=57001-58000&file=57400-57425 This site also is interesting and apparently applies to all CA counties, despite the Madera in its name: http://www.madera-county.com/rma/archives/uploads/1219077311_Document_upload_lafcodoc.8.08.pdf At least it is not Washington State, but I thought that article gave an idea. At least you have two California…

You may be interested in this article on disincorporation and its features: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/mar/28/what-disincorporation-could-mean-for-us/ Of course, no one wins and going insolvent may add to the potential insolvency of SMC who would have to pick up the slack. However, I am willing to take that chance since this predicament was foreshadowed by a rank bunch of HMB politicians and commissioners that were in over their head in the 1990's and failed to honor their commitment.…

There is no Chop Keenan "water supply" to…
