Like the people of Troy Lake Elsinore has a Trojan Horse actively undermining the City of Lake Elsinore and our City Council.

COMPLAINT FILED REQUESTING IMMEDIATE STAY ON BALLOT TITLE AND SUMMARY FOR INITIATIVE PETITION REGARDING ALBERHILL VILLAGES

LAKE ELSINORE (March 30, 2016) – On Tuesday, March 29th, City Attorney Barbara Leibold filed a complaint for declaratory relief requesting that the Riverside County Superior Court order the immediate stay for the preparation of a Ballot Title and Summary for the proposed initiative petition received by the City Clerk on March 14, 2016.

The initiative, proposed by Dana Mark Coon of Lake Elsinore, involves the adoption of a specific plan and development agreement for the development of the Pacific Clay mining site, known as Alberhill Villages, near Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore. The proponent filed an initial Notice of Intent to Circulate a Petition to place an initiative measure entitled “Alberhill Villages Initiative” on a ballot on March 2, 2016. Subsequently, this Notice of Intent was withdrawn and a second Notice of Intent was submitted by the same proponent with several changes.

Prior to receiving a Notice of Intent, on February 16, 2016, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Alberhill Villages Specific Plan as submitted and sponsored by Pacific Clay Products, Inc. and developer Castle & Cooke for the same area as the specific plan proposed in the initiative petition. However, the specific plan proposed in the initiative contains considerable revisions to the Alberhill Villages Specific Plan as considered and approved by the Planning Commission, which, in turn, has led to the filing of the complaint for declaratory relief.

“The City of Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest growing cities in the State and it is essential that we ensure responsible and positive development for current and future residents of our City,” said City Manager Grant Yates. “This initiative proposes something very different than what was just endorsed by our Planning Commission and was set for consideration by the City Council.”

The complaint contains six causes of actions. The basis for those causes of action include: the initiative unconstitutionally deprives the community from public participation in future land use decisions for the proposed development; contains misleading statements about future public amenities that the developer can opt out of such as a 46-acre sports park; requires the City to enter into a 45-year development contract it has not negotiated; requires the City to issue municipal bonds at the developer’s direction or face monetary penalties; compels the City to form and levy assessment district taxes; forecloses the City from being fully reimbursed for out of pocket costs to review development and building plans; and compels the City to pay for arbitration of disputes initiated by the developer. Additional claims are contained in the complaint.

The City Attorney will be seeking a court hearing date on the request for a stay and will notify the public of that date once it is available.

Who are the players and why the Corruption Busters are thankful for our current city council and attorney:

March 14 an initiative was submitted to the City of Lake Elsinore (this was the 2nd time, the first was withdrawn) and the City had until March 29, 2016 to respond, Lake Elsinore City Attorney responded on March 29, 2016 (deadline).

Like the political consultants at the Dolphin Group, Hiltachk is known for promoting “Trojan Horse” political gambits. As Hendrik Hertzberg put it in a 2007 New Yorker piece, Hiltachk and his law film Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk, “specialize in initiatives that are the opposite of what they sound like.”

In other words, when political ideas won’t fly with voters on merit, Hiltachk and company trick Californians into voting against their wants and interests — and use every legal maneuver possible to keep voters unawares

Corruption Busters has to ask you and its also our opinion, how long has this initiative been in the works since Hiltachk and The Dolphin Group have worked together before on a Trojan Horse type voter initiative which loss in Santa Monica. The voters didn't fall for their tricks. Doesn't it make you wonder if it's always been a part of their public relations campaign for Alberhill Villages and the City of Lake Elsinore?

Dolphin Groups founder Bill Roberts told the Los Angeles Times:

“I think I ought to have the right to lie to you if I think it will help me win,” .......... He died six years later, just months before the Willie Horton ad was released.

Now, more than two decades later, the Dolphin Group, sans Roberts, but with his political philosophy fully intact, is working on behalf of the Yes on Proposition 32 campaign in California

Since 2014 The Dolphin Group aka Live Lake Elsinore (Karie) are spinning their web in Lake Elsinore, CA for Castle & Cooke!

Please forgive us for repeating ourselves but Corruption Busters has to ask you, how long has this initiative/gathering of petitions idea been in the works for Castle & Cooke since The Dolphin Group (aka Live Lake Elsinore) and Hiltachk have worked together before in Santa Monica...... Doesn't it make you wonder has it always been the strategy for their public relations campaign just like their losing Prop 32 Trojan horse campaign.

Background Diamond T borrowed $3,000,000 from Castle & Cooke to develop a tract of real property. Diamond T subsequently sued Castle & Cook, alleging it failed to fully fund the loan, thereby preventing the development of the property. Diamond T also alleged that Castle & Cook wrongfully accelerated the debt, tortiously interfered with a potential sale of the property, engaged in an unconscionable course of action, and committed numerous deceptive acts. -

This is a putative class action brought on behalf of borrowers who obtained home
mortgage loans from Defendant Castle & Cooke Mortgage, LLC (“Castle”). Plaintiff Luis
Cabrales (“Plaintiff”), one of the allegedly affected borrowers, asserts that Castle, in
violation of both federal and state law, implemented a secret bonus program that
incentivized its loan officers to place borrowers in loans bearing higher interest rates. .............
