Yes, I am a bit embarrassed with these video clips of my chronic harping at meetings, but then again not. There is NO WAY they can later say they were unaware of the incorrect information they were using to pursue their special interest agenda with pubic funds and grant money, while intentionally increasing expenses to knock on MR WECs door now with another PROPOSITION 218 RATE INCREASE in the name of community good.
They have attorneys, engineers, government officials, CSDA (California Special District Association) consultants, operatives, agents, legislative barflies, whatever, constantly working to “deflect the truth” while pretending to do public good – which is just the opposite!
I have this website. Clearly not an even match. Ahhhhh, but like I just heard from a brilliant young black woman on television (below), the truth is on our side. And just as my faith may be severely tested at times, or I take my blessings for granted, it remains true and I am confident. Not professional. But sincere and confident I am fighting a good fight for my country. With that said….
I believe the following video is one of the longest. Sorry. YouTube relaxed the limit of <15 minutes and due to the uploading times involved it is just easier to put selected clips together in one file and then upload that file during the night. Allowing the computer to chug along at its own slow pace while I slept is much easier than trying to multi-task while computer is busy with such a massive upload – slows everything down.
The LDPCSD Board of Directors for years has actively denied the truth regarding water service restrictions contained in water license 11395 which the district has used to pump Merced River water from Lake McClure since 1980 formation. They prefer to misrepresent the truth and even attempted their own “re-write of history” by creating their own FAKE POU MAP contrary to the long established WL11395 map on file with the SWRCB (State Water Resources Control Board), all in an effort to obtain what they want and believe to be fair – not what is fair to the far majority of customers who are entitled to water service according to past legal decisions.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY REPLACED ESTABLISHED LEGAL DECISIONS, AND THE LAW IN GENERAL, WITH PERSONAL OPINION AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPOSE THEIR DESIRED CHANGE AT THE LOCAL POLITICAL LEVEL. THEY USED POSITIONS OF PUBLIC TRUST TO PURSUE THEIR OWN MISGUIDED SENSE OF WHAT WAS JUST AND FAIR WITH PUBLIC FUNDS FOR PRIVATE THIRD PARTY BENEFIT. THEY OVERRULED OUR COUNTY’S SYSTEM OF LAW AND JUSTICE IN FAVOR OF THEIR SELFISH POLITICAL ACTIVISM.
The primary audience for years since their self proclaimed “saving of the district” (through development of three EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER WELLS WITH GOVERNMENT GRANTS), has been three former CSD directors, who faithfully served this community. What I observed (as one of those faithful servants) was the board’s diversion away from truthful fact as the basis for their decisions to a complete reliance upon the self serving “interpretations” by a former rogue employee. A rogue employee who returned to the LDPCSD far more dangerous with his own company and a 20 year influential Board Director relationship with the powerful not for profit lobbying organization, the CSDA (California Special District’s Association).
LOOK WHAT HAS BEEN DONE: A surface water treatment plant operating under water license 11395 designed and legally permitted to serve the subdivision was reconfigured into a special interest groundwater substitution facility paid for with pubic funds obtained from thousands of innocent victim subdivision property owners. This facility transformation was required to continue and expand that special benefit groundwater substitution service in order to develop LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES to which our district has no legal duty or moral obligation to provide water.
Geez, that doesn’t sound right, does it? LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS SELECTIVELY FORCING A COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF PRIVATE CITIZEN PROPERTY OWNERS (MR WECs of the LDP subdivision for short title), TO SUBSIDIZE AN EXPENSIVE SPECIAL BENEFIT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION REPLACEMENT PROGRAM to maintain compliance with operative water license 11395 use restrictions that MR WECs DOES NOT UTILIZE OR REQUIRE, because that district could not legally provide that only water source (11395)?
A program specifically designed to provide special benefit water service to owners of LOCAL GOVERNMENT ANNEXED PROPERTIES in a special district LOCAL GOVERNMENT created itself? Sounds self serving, yeah?
(Do you feel like I have placed toothpicks to hold your eyelids open under a bright light as I repeat the same thing over, and over, and over, blah, blah, blah….? lol)
BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! A special district (LDPCSD) LAFCO CREATED in 1980 that could not legally provide the only water source it possessed UNDER WATER LICENSE 11395 to properties LAFCO CONTINUED TO ANNEX to LDPCSD boundaries.
Seriously, who created and perpetuated this nightmare of frustration and citizen unrest on both sides of the equation for decades?
This transformation of our water plant was accomplished through the professional efforts of their commanding GM, Peter J Kampa and his Kampa Community Solutions, llc, KAMPACS, or KCS, whatever you may prefer to call his blatant “special interest” special district management company.
No two ways about it, when Kampa worked for the LDPCSD between 1994-1997 he was a rogue employee operating far outside the limits and scope of his assigned duties. Without board direction or approval Kampa attempted to unilaterally “broker a number of annexation deals” with both Tuolumne and Mariposa counties on behalf of private party land owners. He even made up a district plan to usurp our open natural parks build community centers and such. Big, big, Kampa plans. (Who was he really working for then, or now?) When his activities were discovered the board of directors at that time required Kampa to provide letters of apology to those he had attempted to pressure into quietly approving his proposed special interest annexations into the LDPCSD.
Kampa left shortly after heading for McCloud CSD up north and once again displayed where his allegiance lies concerning water matters – always with the special interests- that time, the Nestles Corporation. Good ‘ol Pete assisted in drafting a contract so egregious to that community the State Attorney General at the time, former Governor Jerry Brown, required a complete redrafting under threat of lawsuit because the agreement was so one sided in favor of Nestles. Kampa has a clear track record – which was precisely why directors on the board in 2014 orchestrated a highly unethical closed recruitment process to guarantee Kampa would be the GM/Treasurer with access to over ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH OUR DISTRICT SAVED DUE TO PASSAGE OF THE LAST PROPOSITION 218 RAISING CUSTOMERS RATES TO AVOID BANKRUPTCY.
A NEAR BANKRUPTCY I MIGHT REMIND YOU due to OBVIOUS SPECIAL INTEREST CATERING TO THIRD PARTY DEVELOPERS LOOKING TO EXPLOIT OUR LIMITED RESOURCES FOR GREATER PROFITS. And so it continues on into 2019 with the Board’s clear intention of raising rates again on the MR WECs of the LDP Subdivision who have already been victimized since the LDPCSD was formed by two county LAFCOs in August 1980.
Oh yeah….is it truly any surprise-
(in this SOCIALIST-LEFT POLITICALLY DOMINATED CURRENT STATE OF CALIFUSION- once again, I refuse to use the term DEMOCRAT despite the clear involvement of that party’s name in such corruption, because there are many patriots from that side that also do not agree with such ANTI-US GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES. Every time I start to write something about …. “THOSE DEMOCRATS”, I think of my friends who are DEMOCRAT that I know love, respect and believe in this country and our system of law – of course despite specific areas they may believe require change or improvement. They previous joined a party they believed represented their interests and could achieve specific goals but that party has changed dramatically. But I digress…..)
– that the major issue, the primary stumbling block, the obvious factor that created decades of nightmarish district dysfunction, community turmoil, decreased subdivision property values, arson of the CSD Administration Office, burglaries, property destruction, vandalism, fabrication of government documents, politics of personal destruction, misappropriation of government funds, special interest catering over the rights of customers, etc. can be summarized with three easy to understand facts: (ready? stop and think about it – we will be going over this again – right?
and again – right?
and again – lol)
- County LAFCOs (Local Agency Formation Commissions) of both TUOLUMNE and MARIPOSA formed the LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT (LDPCSD) in August 1980 with the later being the “lead agency” due to the majority of facilities and infrastructure in that county. (BONUS: 88 people voted to change the SIERRA HIGHLANDS WATER COMPANY into the LDPCSD and encumbered thousands of property owners as MANDATORY LDPCSD CUSTOMERS due to PROPERTY OWNER ASSOCIATION (POA) CC&Rs (Covenants, Codes and Restrictions) prohibiting individual domestic well development on those properties. Made sense, right? Same with sewer services for lots not geologically suitable for individual private disposal systems – thus another county scam – the Don Pedro Waste Water Facility quietly used to also dispose of the county’s toxic leachate from the land disposal site. But I digress….) OK so LAFCOs formed the LDPCSD.
- LDPCSD was created and utilized to surreptitiously (quietly-secretly) force thousands of LAKE DON PEDRO subdivision property owners, I call them MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the LDP subdivision, to subsidize an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE SPECIAL BENEFIT GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION PROGRAM FOR OWNERS OF PROPERTY LEGALLY PROHIBITED FROM RECEIVING THE MERCED RIVER WATER SERVICE UNDER WATER LICENSE 11395. Think about it, how could that detailed 1987 Mariposa County LAFCO commissioned SOI (Sphere of Influence) STUDY REPORT – used as the legal basis to greatly expand LDPCSD water service boundaries by thousands of acres outside the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) January 1981 decision as to what that service area would be when transferring Sierra’s Facilities and Assets to the newly formed LDPCSD, without mention of STATE WATER LICENSE 11395 which was the ONLY SOURCE OF WATER THE DISTRICT HAD TO PROVIDE? (State maximum availability charge of $10 also increased to $60 specifically for Lake Don Pedro situation – so even absentee vacant lot owners were subsidizing growth outside the legal water service area.)
- Those properties OUTSIDE THE LEGAL SERVICE AREA THAT REQUIRE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION SYSTEM TO REPLACE THE MERCED RIVER WATER THAT ILLEGALLY LEAVES THE LICENSE ENTITLED LDP SUBDIVISION, ARE WHAT? —– LAFCO ANNEXATIONS! Full circle yeah?
LAFCO creates a district made up of thousands of mandatory customers in the subdivision. Then expands that district’s water service boundaries far beyond where it could legally provide it’s only source of water. The designed answer to the problem? Expensive groundwater wells to develop an “ALTERNATE SOURCE WATER” with which to replace the water INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO ILLEGALLY LEAVE THE SUBDIVISION FROM THE START! All paid for by MR WECs who does not require groundwater substitution for their “entitled” (already paid for) Merced River Water service. WHY MUST WE CONSUME AN INFERIOR “BLENDED WATER” WHEN ENTITLED TO THE QUALITY MERCED RIVER WATER FROM YOSEMITE STORED IN LAKE McCLURE? All seems pretty self-serving for the government – OOPS! Almost forgot……SOCIALIST-LEFT RULED CALIFUSION!
Sure makes one wonder about this whole corrupt system. Kampa is certainly working for something other than the customers benefit. I am starting to wake up to the realization that his precious CSDA (California Special Districts Association) may be as bad as he is. Why else would they have maintained such a long relationship? Chicken or the egg? Who is the teacher, who’s the student? What are the Socialist-left organizations working for and with the STATE OF CALIFUSION to push their political agenda? I don’t know and have nothing against folks from other countries coming here and making a life for themselves so long as they obey the same laws home-grown citizens do, but I digress.
Yesterday I was “multi-tasking” on the computer by simultaneously writing a post, downloading a video production for uploading, and uploading another video production to Youtube for presentation on lakedonpedro.org. OAN was on the television in the other room and once again I heard a female voice I did not recognize say something with which I could not more totally agree. Who was that woman? Jumped up ran into the other room and ran the DVR back…..
(SIDENOTE: Please, please, please….. check out OAN, ONE AMERICA NEWS network, it is a breath of fresh air when it comes to “news”. What I particularly enjoy and appreciate, are the amazing history lessons of our country and what has truly made it so great – instead of typical “brain dead” commercials. You know, when you think about it, many of us “born-here American Citizens” probably know (or recall) less about our country’s history than what the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS know, who have studied and passed citizenship requirements before joining our beautifully diverse country and CONTRIBUTING IN WAYS THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE US THE MOST FREEDOM LOVING COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET. Probably be good for all “home-growns” to refresh our memories and learn new interesting facts!
Sure, that’s normal I would imagine…. you know, taking things for granted, but the point is, the OAN Network is a positive influence while simultaneously reporting truthful news – good and bad – that is happening around the world. Recently I’ve conducted my own little experiment. I’ll be watching OAN report on some major current event and will switch over to CNN to check out their coverage…… usually just more negative bad mouth suppositions about Trump. Trump this, Trump that, everything bad is a result of Trump…….LOOK! So TYPICAL with the SOCIALIST-LEFT MEDIA —- truth of the matter is exactly the opposite! lol
Anyway, check out OAN sometime, I don’t think you will regret the exposure.)
SO, anyway, I hear this female voice saying if you are not part of the POLITICAL LEFT they will actively attempt to personally destroy you because they do not want to talk about, or even hear the truth. Boy did that resonate with me regarding my four years on the LDPCSD Board of Directors. Nothing but special interest demands for more service outside the legal POU – reduce charges for land developers, disgusting. Anyway, you probably guessed …..to the DVR! Ran the DVR back to catch her entire speech. Her name is Candace Owens and I will be attentively listening for that name again, because she makes sense and I want to hear more of what she has to say.
This is especially so because she is an intelligent black woman who was previously from that PROGRESSIVE – SOCIALIST – LEFT side before “CONVERSION” lol. She explained how what she previously believed to be the party to sincerely represent her interests was exactly the opposite and they attempted to destroy her for recognizing the party’s hypocrisy and intentional failure-refusal to discuss and address problems. What is more she discovered her former party was actually creating and feeding on many of the problems.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN I BELIEVE WE HAVE A BINGO AT TABLE NUMBER THREE!
MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) of the Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision who WITHOUT A DOUBT ARE THE INTENDED AND LEGAL WATER ENTITLED CUSTOMERS have been victims of a PROGRESSIVE – SOCIALIST – LEFT program to RE-DISTRIBUTE AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE AND CONTROLLED RESOURCE – to the benefit of, and this is also typical of such SOCIALIST-LEFT garbage – the elite who feel they are more deserving than the common citizen.
This is why the board refuses to “do the right thing” – they simply can’t. It is against the way they decided to run this district – as of course directed by a professional manager. This is why such people NEVER WANT TO DISCUSS FACTS – OR LOGIC, but only things that will further muddy the waters with their self-serving perverted concepts of “public service”, “for the community”,and “for the people” garbage which is only more camouflage for their self-serving use of public funds and resources. Again, exactly the opposite!
SO? GO TO THE AUTHORITIES! And what is the government response to a request for a serious investigation and discussion regarding this ongoing corruption of a local public agency in their jurisdiction?
They prohibit access to public records and advise you to get an attorney! Now if that isn’t a clue, I do not know what is!
A local county government refusing to disclose their own records regarding how the LDPCSD was setup…and for what purpose when conflicting documents are questioned? A proposed 900 acre residential subdivision concealed from public view for over 20 years by the very LAFCO that supposedly annexed it in 1995 when Kampa was first employed and working his annexation scam?
Think I’ve discovered enough already – LAFCOs own operating resolution created four years before the LDPCSD was formed indicates they were WAY OFF BASE WITH ALL THE SPECIAL INTEREST ANNEXATIONS THEY WERE PROCESSING – MANY MAKING NO SENSE AT ALL AND IN VIOLATION OF EXISTING STATE LAW….
OOPS! Almost forgot, that was the plan all along.
My best to you and yours, Lew
