In the Spring of 2015 the City was scrambling to cover up their corruption. Emails between former Chief of Police Frank Coe and Russ Bogh show that Bogh helped organize both the phony Fire Station Committee and the phony Finance Committee.

The Fire Station Committee resulted in a report confirming that yes, Beaumont built 20,000 houses, but never built fire stations. Some houses in Beaumont are over 20 minutes from fire and safety protection. The Report was swept under the rug, the Committee was dissolved, and to this day Beaumont Citizens still have no fire stations.

From 2010 to 2016 the City of Beaumont funded the position of Executive Director with the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce for Russ Bogh’s wife Sheri.

Lynn Baldi, the Incumbent running for San Gorgonio Pass Hospital Director is ‘Momma Bogh’, Russ Bogh’s mother.

Russ Bogh’s 700 Form from 2009 show that Bogh is invested with the Shopoff Properties Trust, which is attempting to develop in Gateway/San Gorgonio Warehouse Project in Cherry Valley.

Bogh is also invested in the Bonita Development Company, Live Oak Canyon Road Development Company, and Diversified Pacific.
