Once upon a time there were these people in a small town that refused to pay their past due water and trash bills until they received a bill. In fact they even brought that fact to a public meeting and got on the agenda for a city council meeting.
They were upset that the city was now demanding they pay their bills in full. After all just like any bill for services we have to pay them. Bill or no bill because we know we owe them and to think otherwise and not make an effort to pay them is rather foolish to say the least.
Yet, for some reason this group seemed to think other wise and even claimed they had a written agreement with the city. As time went on no written agreement was ever found or located as claimed by this group, well then it must have been an oral agreement between the city and them that they wanted honored.
So they brought this out in the open for all to hear about in a public meeting why they felt they did not have to pay their past due water and trash bills. Then were upset when everyone in this little town found out what they were trying to do. They did not like that.
So what do they do, they go after the person who made it public for all to know about how they were not going to pay it unless they got a bill for it. They felt if they did not get a bill then they should not have to pay it. So after they were embarrassed and everyone in town knew what they were trying to do, they conjured up another plan of action. Take the embarrassment away from them selves and go after the person who made it known what they were trying to do. They even sent threatening comments to this person.
To the point of yelling and screaming at him over a legal issue that according to the Brown Act was perfectly legal by taking of pictures at a public meeting. No one can claim privacy at a public meeting, and that’s the law. No matter how old or young they are when attending a public meeting.
Then when the threats don’t work they go about getting on the agenda in this little town and claim “Community Concerns”. The only problem that they did not realize at the time that too was illegal according to the Brown Act and not only is the city responsible for allowing it on the agenda, they are now libel for placing it there.
Along with a hearing that was placed on the agenda and what is termed as a Quasi-judicial public hearing. Where this hearing in questioned denied due process to the complainant.
Then this group takes it further to another agenda item referred to as “Concerns of actions taken by council member". Yet, another violation of the Brown Act, along with the libel and slander and defamation of character that has taken place before and after the past election in this little town and the perjury and conspiracy committed as well.
Stay tuned.
