Urban Futures and Bob Deis took Cali Cities from Troubled to Destroyed, So Who Called Them into Beaumont ?
Once considered the nicest Cities in America; a new pole lists Stockton as the #1 worst place in America to start a business and San Bernardino is #3.
The reason for their low ratings are basically the same;
Stockton: “The seventh-poorest city in California, Stockton has the dubious distinction of the worst city in which to start a business. Median household income of $45,347 is about $16,000 less than the statewide average. The city’s college graduation rate is also much lower than the state and national averages, according to federal data.”
San Bernardino: “With nearly 34 percent of the population living below the poverty line, San Bernardino is the most impoverished city in California. The City declared bankruptcy in 2012, with a $46 Million budget deficit, forcing it to make serious cuts in services.”
And what do Stockton and San Bernardino have in common?
Both cities ran up massive RDA bond debt.
Both cities brought in Urban Futures and Bob Deis to cover up the criminal activity that led to the cities’ financial distress.
Both cities are in worse shape now than they were when Urban Futures and Bob Deis took over.
Both cities never held their Elected and Appointed Officials accountable and they never filed claims to recoup the loss.
Councilman Lllod White stated that Urban Futures and Bob Deis ‘were called’.
Who called them?
Why would anyone call the people with a proven track record of taking California Cities from bad to worse?
If the Citizens of Beaumont can not stop their Councilmen from continuing to ‘direct and approve’ a bunch of crooks from funneling money out of the city there is no hope for recovery – and everyone needs to accept that fact.
These men are not brought in to ‘save’ the city; they were brought in to cover up for the previous administration and continue the same crooked operation.
