Union Bank is using the City of Beaumont to illegally attach liens and collect special taxes from new homeowners without voter approval and before Council approves the bond. This is a violation of California Proposition 13 and 218 requiring voter approval. In the last 20 years the City of Beaumont has acquired over $300 million in bonds secured by liens on 20,000 private property owners and not one homeowner voted for the special taxes. The market is flooded and homes in this area are worth ½ the value. The area does not have the water resources to sustain additional population growth yet the City is planning to develop more land for housing and warehouses.
