August 18, 2020 @ 1006hrs

Good morning Syndie.   I am still interested in reading about the monthly activities of the LDPCSD Board of Directors so when the CD is available please advise and I will make arrangements for pickup and payment. 

Yes, I am still interested in the operations of this local SPECIAL DISTRICT public agency despite GM McGowan’s refusal to respond to my multiple requests for that MERCED IRRIGATION DISRICT 1993 shape file map (illustrating the Place of Use for Merced River water per water license 11395 which former LDPCSD GM/Treasurer Peter Kampa used as the basis for his and his BOARD OF DIRECTORS multi-year departure from the legal management of this special district.   Kampa repeatedly stated during recorded meetings, this MID shapefile map conclusively proved Merced River water could be served outside the POU boundaries established in June 1978 which were of course, the golf course and the Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision (formerly Sierra Highlands Water Company).  Pete Kampa also refused years of requests for this extremely important piece of evidence. 

Since this matter has apparently been closed by the State Water Board  (after three other separate attempts at closure based on patently FALSE INFORMATION ALSO PROVIDED BY PETER KAMPA) what is the purpose of continuing to withhold this information?   

Over ten years of my life have been spent trying to understand this district’s outrageous and contradictory water service activities – four of them while on the board as an oath sworn director during which time I was provided incorrect information upon which I based my decisions.

District difficulties/dysfunction seem to have been particularly troublesome during Kampa’s two tours of employment: 1994-1997, and 2014-2019 and this shape file map lies at the center of district deceptions and customer betrayals.   I will continue my requests to secure this public information that has been used against customers since 1993, then again in 2014 when Kampa was summoned back to the LDPCSD to finish what he started back in the 1990s.  Kampa was only returned to develop and provide an alternate source (groundwater developed with government grants intended for drought relief not increased service connections outside the POU) which he and his cohorts required for development of various LAFCO annexed properties into the LDPCSD that were set up 20 years earlier without board direction or approval.  Imagine, a proposed 900 acre residential subdivision across the street from the LDPCSD which was concealed from the public for 20 years…..yet only months before Kampa’s unethical return in 2014 Mariposa County LAFCO quietly (semi-closed meeting) changed the water service boundary maps and stated those properties were legally annexed back in 1995 when Kampa began his infamous water career here in California?  No municipal service reviews or plans, no open public meetings for discission, just a quick boundary change to include Kampa’s 1994 slumbering subdivision deal on the shores of Lake McClure.

Dear General Manager/Treasurer Patrick McGOWAN,  Will the outside MIDPOU report ever be returned to the agenda packet?  

Following Peter Kampa’s second return to the LDPCSD in October 2014, this report was removed and replaced periodically many times but ultimately permanently removed from the agenda.   This is a peculiar decision for you to maintain if the district is sincere about regaining and building customer trust (presumably for the support required for the successful passage of another PROPOSITION 218 needed to once again substantially raise our WATER RATES AND FEES).  

Since this MIDPOU report was the ONLY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT which permitted customers to easily view and understand exactly where and how much Merced River water was being delivered OUTSIDE THE LEGALLY APPROVED PLACE OF USE BOUNDARY (the Lake Don Pedro residential subdivision and golf course HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LEGAL BOUNDARY)  and determined exactly HOW MUCH GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION would be required to remain compliant with the water license restrictions (how much of an equal or greater amount of groundwater to replace the Merced River water illegally delivered outside the POU)  this report is essential for an accurate accounting and understanding of this SUBSIDIZED SPECIAL BENEFIT WATER SERVICE FOR LAFCO ANNEXATIONS PETE KAMPA setup without board permission back in the mid 1990s for which “normal legal customers” have been paying for since 1993 when the first groundwater well was required and developed as a legal remedy for the initial water service delivery violations outside the subdivision which have only continued through the years.  (Kampa actually proposed this ridiculous cycle in a drought prone foothill area   ….  annex more land into the district, construct another  ½ million dollar groundwater well, annex more land – develop more groundwater wells.  Absolute insanity driven by decades of greed and deception.)

I do not understand why the MID shape file map and the MIDPOU compliance reporting are still being withheld from the 99% of legal customers (MR WECs – Merced River Water Entitled Customers) who must pay these increasingly expensive bills as mandatory customers of the LDPCSD.   Personally I could never support another rate and fee increase until assured these illegal activities have indeed been terminated once and for all and not just more deviously concealed from the bill paying public as  has been the case for the last 20 years with great  assistance from other cooperating county/state departments and entities such as the Tuolumne and Mariposa County Planning Departments, their Local Agency Formation Commissions, and other Kampa agent operatives implanted within State water agencies such as the State Water Board Division of Water Rights and Department of Water Resources.

How can the District assure customers it is now being honest about where Merced River water will be delivered in the future and thus deserving of another substantial PROPOSITION 218 rate and fee increase?  (The money from the first PROP 218 was used by Kampa and his Board of Directors to fund his 2014 LAFCO ANNEXATION expansion plans.)

Quite simple:  Honestly respond to legitimate questions and requests for public information while re-establishing the Outside Merced Irrigation District Place of Use report in the agenda so customers can see for themselves where their expensive EMERGENCY DROUGHT GROUNDWATER is actually going and for what other purposes than intended residential domestic use.  (ie, And not more commercial cattle ranches OUTSIDE the MIDPOU owned, developed and operated by sitting LDPCSD Board Directors!)

Until next month,

Lew Richardson    

This is not only an excellent rendition of recent events, but cause for pause and reflection yeah?

Well, not much of a puzzle actually but I am rather pleased to know I wasn’t really responsible for making those sticky messes in the fridge.

You know how it goes…..sitting at home in your recliner, COVID-19 briefs and flip flops listening to the news and plucking at a handful of chords on the guitar that you know yet still can’t master then something happens – you start humming and/or singing some unrehearsed words over and over. Catching the rhythm of something. Have a couple of beers, keep playing then wake up the next morning next to an empty – completely cleaned ice cream carton and a guilty looking dog with a sticky nose.

My best to you and yours, Lew

I remember this actress (Maya Rudolph – who plays CA Senator Kamala Harris)from the 2006 movie comedy IDIOCRACY – a must see for any attempted understanding as to what has been happening to America for quite some time. Here’s the trailer:

08/14/2020@0408hrs

Thinking of Our Nation (the United States of America) as compared to where we actually, physically, live. How much would you personally accept and tolerate (or permit your family to do likewise) in order to avoid the confrontation and work necessary to properly maintain, protect, and defend your residence (tent to palace and anything in between) from destructive invaders? Just a thought transformed into another DIM LAME. (Did It Myself Lew’s Almost Music Expression – lol) later, Lew

The land must flow red

To remove corrupting blue

Really doesn’t matter

Served on election platter!

Lew Richardson August 11^th 2020

Note: The inspiration for the above blah, blah, blah thanks to a comment on the Merced Irrigation District Facebook page (below) to which I added my own suggestion for a remedy to this continuing CALIFUSION DYSFUNCTION NIGHTMARE:

“Tamber Bliss California is so Friking CORRUP !!!! Let the land Run Red and Take out the Blue … ITS UP TO YOU.. TAKE CALIFORNIA BACK FROM THOSE THAT WILL AND ARE KILLING OUR STATE!”

Why did Director Emery Ross mention GM McGowan’s desirable connection with the Merced Irrigation District due to his Father’s 27 year employment with the MID?  You know, when I first heard the name Patrick McGowan uttered from Pete Kampa’s mouth I admit to being suspicious because Kampa is an unethical, decades long exploiter of our California Special District, and all the while he was a Board Director for the CSDA (California Special Districts Association) a high powered lobbying organization specializing in guess what? What a co-incidence huh?  Kampa sure has changed my perspective of the CSDA and what they actually do to the public if Kampa is an example as to typical CSDA director character.

Kampa’s affiliation with the CSDA alone should hold good ‘ol Pete (and his operatives within decision making positions in State Government) to a much higher standard of conduct because of their specialized education, training and responsibilities when dealing with important public service issues affecting millions of Californians on a daily basis (name a function of government or desired service and there is probably a Special District catering to that issue, ie, cemeteries, roads, libraries, street lighting, water, sewer, power, recreational parks, fire, mosquito abatement, etc.) 

Special Districts provide services where the County, for one reason or another cannot, or will not.

Remember the 4 characteristics of a Special District like ours?  (LDPCSD only provides water at this time)

1. Limited service

2. For a particular group of people

3. Within a designated service area boundary

4. Service provided for only the cost necessary for production

Every single one of these characteristics of a CA Special District, not only has been violated, but the LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT (LDPCSD) ITSELF certainly appears to have been specifically designed and formed to violate every one of those defining attributes!

1. The limited water service by a surface water treatment plant intended for the subdivision has been reconfigured into a subsidized groundwater substitution facility to circumvent Merced River water restrictions contained in water license 11395 (held by the Merced Irrigation District -MID) by creating a GROUND WELL PUMPED ALTERNATE SOURCE OF WATER to blend with the quality water of Lake McClure so the mixture can be sold as a “blended water mixture” to owners of property Mariposa and Tuolumne County LAFCOs ANNEXED into the LDPCSD, (which is a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT created by the same LAFCOs – rather self serving don’t you think?  Forming a Special District that they then exploit to their mutual benefit?).   Even MID participated in annexations into our district EVENTHOUGH we could not legally provide water.  Why?  Because MID wanted the water rights of any the proposed annexations.   (The Piney Creek Service Island (service islands are no-nos in LAFCO planning) was only annexed for the water rights supposedly possessed, but guess what?  There were no water rights but it was still annexed into a district that could not provide it water!  Gerrymandered for votes by non stakeholders as well to guarantee dysfunction for perpetuity on the board of directors. (WITH NO WATER SERVED IN 40 YEARS – SUCH ANNEXATIONS SHOULD BE DETACHED FROM THE LDPCSD by LAFCO AS NON STAKEHOLDERS AND NO LONGER BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN DISTRICT ELECTIONS.  MANY PROPERTIES HAVE PAID NOTHING TO THE DISTRICT YET VOTE.)  Why should the MID care?  Their officers don’t live here.)  But how and why would MID also place such financial burdens on a district clearly legally bound to only serve the residential subdivision and golf course under MID’s water license?  HELL!   IT WAS MID’s LICENSE – THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONORING THE RESTRICTIONS, NOT SETTING OUR LDPCSD UP FOR VIOLATIONS AND FUTURE FAILURES not to mention the substantial added costs to MR WECs (MERCED RIVER WATER CUSTOMERS of the subdivision) for decades of litigation, fabricated documents and continuing community controversies.

2) Particular group of people?  Yup, clearly was supposed to be the property owners of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision (previously Sierra Highlands Water Company).  The subdivision possesses another entire layer of regulatory government over their property interests in the form of a PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, with CC&Rs, governing documents, elected directors, violation committees, fines, yearly assessments, blah blah blah…..  Property restrictions these LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTIES DON’T HAVE TO OBEY!   

(Wonder how many of these LAFCO ANNEXED PROPERTY OWNERS demanding water service would voluntarily join such a Property Owners Association which restricts what they can do with their land?  Like in the subdivision. WAIT!  

CAN’T YOU HEAR THEM????……

“That’s not fair” they would cry.  “We don’t want or need extra or legally enforceable rules and regulations telling us what to do on our own land under penalty of financial fines and liens on our property!  We don’t want all that garbage  ……we just want your quality subdivision water – and if we can’t get that, we’ll just change your surface water treatment plant into a subsidized groundwater substitution facility for all present and future LAFCO ANNEXATIONS INTO THE LDPCSD and subdivision residents can just drink the same arsenic (and other contaminate) treated water we must.  If we wanted a subdivision lot we would have bought one.   We demand you supply us water for other adjacent proposed subdivisions and whatever else we want to develop.  Maybe some more cattle ranches, yeah Director Ross?”   Whoooo-ha little doggies!) 

And so it has gone on for over 40 years this month.  That’s how you end up with a long time sitting board director OUTSIDE THE MIDPOU FOR MERCED RIVER WATER who runs a commercial cattle ranch with water clearly intended for domestic residential purposes. (Think ‘ol Emery owes all subdivision residents a few steaks every year because we have subsidized his cattle ranch water for two decades?  Lol)  Crap, he’s rarely prepared for meetings anyway but certainly guaranteed to create the same dysfunction he has for decades at the LDPCSD (don’t take my word for it, look at the documents from past meetings in the 1990s (TIME LINE MENU) with all his foolishness clothed in concern for the “community….of suckers” – all because he wanted to be a cowboy.  (That in itself is cool, but simply having cows obviously doesn’t make one a cowboy anymore than possessing a 6-gun makes one a paid gunslinger, but orchestrating a system which forces thousands of innocent property owners to support his warped delusion of a “good guy cowboy” to the obvious detriment of thousands of MR WECs (Merced River Water Entitled Customers) in the subdivision all these years is simply selfish and unethical.)   

Gosh, subdivision owners can’t have little commercial cattle ranches on their subdivision property?   “THAT’s not fair!”  …..I too would have preferred more acreage myself (still looking) but the availability of water, power, internet, publicly maintained roads, etc. was worth the compromise.  (19 open area natural parks for the future too – however, some past local real estate leaders almost destroyed that wonderful concept with the pathetic lure of “selling parks to provide plenty of operating cash” – good grief!)

If I had only known 30 years ago just how corrupt this area was…..  WAIT!  Oh yeah!   Such cheats are all over this DEM INFESTED STATE (and Nation!) – from all political backgrounds too, many are RINOs (Republican In Name Only) claiming to be conservative but when you look at their record?  Just another one of their little scams to obtain what they seek – which, not surprisingly usually belongs to someone else!  Oh well, what should we expect when selecting representatives for trusted positions from the human species?  – Especially when so many repeat offenders are never punished for their continuing intentional misdeeds which harm so many other people?     

3) Designated boundary area — again, this was clearly the residential subdivision but look at all the LDPCSD district boundary maps through the years – they don’t even indicate where we SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON PROVIDING RELIABLE, QUALITY WATER SERVICE!  TO THE SUBDIVISION RESIDENTS who have paid for that right in numerous ways since owning their property!  Golly Gee!  Does this expansion of district service boundaries have anything to do with the fact the original LAFCO metes and bounds survey map has never been presented to the public in 40 years?  Despite multiple requests from the public and other government entities?  (Think of all the FABRICATED GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS floating around out there in the CALIFORNIA WATER INDUSTRY DATA STREAM thanks to CSDA Board Director Pete Kampa! Hell, no wonder he would laugh so hard at my requests for public information …. all these local and state criminal bureaucrats are safe…..protected by a State Government and Water Board that believes the Merced River flows through Sutter County up north!  Lol  Actually, quite frightening when you think about it.)  Sounds like a good bet the 1980 MIA (missing in action) ORIGINAL LAFCO MAP being critically important since what LAFCO APPROVED FOR THIS DISTRICT SERVICE AREA 40+ years ago IS FAR GREATER IN ACREAGE THAN WHAT WAS LEGALLY APPROVED BY THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. 

Deceptions were orchestrated 10 years prior with the original developers and put into action with the creation of a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT in the form of a COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT where thousands of unsuspecting property owners in the approved subdivision would be forced into subsidizing a foothill water empire plan based on unsustainable, unreliable and extremely expensive groundwater wells so properties MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO ANNEXED IN VIOLATION OF THEIR OWN FUCKING RULES (LAFCO Resolution 76-4) could be provided water thanks to the exploitation of the CSD and MR WECS (Merced River Water Customers) of the subdivision who were MANDATORY CUSTOMERS OF THE LAKE DON PEDRO COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT (LDPCSD) and had no other choice for water service other than selling and leaving their foothill dream and years of work all because they expected an HONEST COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT. <gasp!> take a breath Lew!

4)  Finally, COST.  Furnishing the service for only the frigg’n cost necessary for providing the water service to the legal customers in the subdivision, not 40 years of turmoil and wasted public funds, then a bunch of 1/2 million dollar unreliable groundwater wells, some of which have already failed requiring expensive repair – all so the EMERGENCY DROUGHT GROUNDWATER produced could be sold to speculators to greatly increase their profit margins with water service to their LAFCO ANNEXED properties all over the area.   DUHHH!   Always comes down to money and the unscrupulous conduct some people utilize to acquire their prize.  So sad for all involved – but there is ohhhhhh so much more.

All the while MR WECs has been lied to for over 40 years and has paid for these ever increasing costs for groundwater substitution for LAFCO properties while watching our surface water treatment plant deteriorate to the point of critical breakdown.  WHY?   TO FORCE MR WECS INTO WHAT LAFCO, MID, LAND DEVELOPERS, REAL ESTATE, AND THEIR ANNEXATIONS NEEDED – ABUNDANT CHEAP WATER SERVICE FOR WHICH THEY WOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.   Enter MR WECS who purchased LDPOA property believing a Property Owners Association was there to protect the interests of their property owners.   LOL  Welcome to CALIFUSION where such ideas sound great but never work as planned, advertised and sold to the unsuspecting and victimized public.    <gasp>

OH YEAH!  And a county constructed sewer system in a drought prone foothill area that is now dependent upon expensive groundwater for operations?  Of course the county wants to force that loser on the LDPCSD – NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS leading to this absolute mess of a community because simple regulations were not followed BECAUSE OF GREED – starting with their own.  (County makes money on developments, why should they care if property owners in the subdivision have been screwed for 40 years?   Seriously – who can a citizen trust in government anymore?)

YUP, even MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO had Resolution 76-4 that effectively prevented such annexations into an existing district by requiring all initial applications to clearly document water and/or sewer availability for the proposed project — just to be EVEN CONSIDERED FOR ANNEXATION!

 What happened to that COMMON SENSE RULE? 

What happened to the NO SOI GROWTH decision by the County?

 Didn’t obey their own rules, screwed every single owner of property in the subdivision who, because of CCRs – were essentially imprisoned mandatory customers of a corrupt CSD which was designed by LAFCOs to be just that – a fraud of a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT only to be exploited for its water service potential for isolated regions of Tuolumne and Mariposa Counties.

Another sad aspect is how many people through the years were harmed for standing up for the principle and RULE OF LAW.  Same as with the anarchists now, they’re not concerned with the facts or history that had to be lived for the last 244 years in order to form and improve this country to make America the most desirable freedom loving country in the world.  They just want to do things their way and the law is an obstruction easily over come without the requisite respect and duty that comes with freedom.  Strange huh?  They use America’s freedom in order to attempt destruction of America’s freedom?  Such MY WAY or NO WAY examples are boundless. (Same as our Board Defectors, who only used positions of public trust to impose their personal/business desires while violating the law to the public’s detriment. And now they want to raise our water rates and fees again because of the millions they squandered violating regulations for a PROPERTY ANNEXATION SCAM SPANNING TWO DECADES? lol Each one is CA GOVERNOR MATERIAL! lol

Heck, I read where a past LDPCSD attorney was charged with investigating the feasibility of possible water service outside the subdivision but when he advised it could not be done the way the board wanted – PRESTO!  new attorney!  Re-start. Look for an attorney that will say yes. lol Sure that’s life.  But shouldn’t a pure heart and truth count for something? (I mean besides just after the last call? {Death})  Truly very sad with all the conflict and community turmoil for decades — all due to those who simply refused to obey the law and substituted their own wishes while occupying positions of public trust and responsibility – Oath sworn positions of public trust in fact.  Just like Pete Kampa.  Reminds me, did you know

Pete Kampa is a long time CSDA (California Special Districts Association) Board Director with powerful connections throughout the water industry and California government?  Oh.  You did huh?  OK then, well, ahhh,….  lol

Every single aspect of a CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICT ignored and sacrificed for increased profit margins and enhanced county revenue streams assisted by a State Water Board that believes Yosemite’s Merced River flows through Sutter County up by Yuba City. 

No one cared about the thousands of property owners in the subdivision scratching out homes for their families in this rugged rural foothill region.  Absolutely disgusting.  Innocent property owners victimized by every single public and private organization dedicated to public service.  What a fraud and perfect example of how government transparency in these California SPECIAL DISTRICTS actually works when crooks are at the helm of management!  

Ooops, digressed again, huh?  Fingers get moving so fast on the keyboard……anyway, back to the beginning…..hearing the name Patrick McGowan from Pete Kampa made the issue suspicious. 

Could have been any name because anything from Peter Kampa should be viewed as suspicious when it concerns SPECIAL DISTRICTS, LAFCO ANNEXATIONS, WATER LICENSE 11395 RESTRICTIONS, GRANT APPLICATONS, MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT, LDPCSD BUSINESS – specifically service boundary maps, fake documents, anything that might require a modicum of integrity and honesty, etc.

(Psst……Did you know Peter Kampa is a long time board director for the CSDA – California Special Districts Association up in Sacramento?  Oh, you did.) 

A year ago I researched McGowan online and viewed his Father’s fairly recent obituary in the Merced Sun Star.  Having lost my own Father years ago – when work required I just maintain and continue the best I could during that heartbreaking period of loss (fortunately we had a great relationship and things he told me in preparation for “that day” kicked in and truly helped me move on), anyway, reading the obit I thought of Mr. McGowan’s loss.  I didn’t know him, only that he was a son who had recently lost his Father and there he was, at new job with lots of controversy and unresolved questions left by Pete Kampa’s 2nd resignation from the LDPCSD after lying and screwing customers, a State Water Board Notice of Complaint along with a pissed off former director who knows the facts and says so with annoying rambling blah, blah, blahs until he forgets where the hell he was going with this particular ……….

Oh yeah, OK, so Patrick McGowan’s Dad worked for Merced Irrigation District for 27 years –so what?  Sure, he’s probably got a lot of good connections there from his Dad’s work, company picnics, bar-b-ques, etc.  Perhaps he is indeed a “ringer brought in by Kampa & Kompany” to quietly continue the decades of deception and fraud so typical at the LDPCSD?  But then again, maybe not.   Maybe he’s a good guy trying to clean up a mess?

I figured we’d wait and see after all, just because a person has a familial connection with the MID, that doesn’t make them unacceptable for a GM position working closely with the Merced Irrigation District which holds Water License 11395 – which has been violated to the point of absurdity by this district and others for over 40 years?  (You knew that too yeah?  Lol)  Again, we’ll see. 

(FOR PETE’S SAKE! Then again, why is GM/Treasurer McGowan apparently concealing that 1993 MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT shape file map that Kampa used to misdirect our district, government granting entities, and customers since 2014 (actually, all the way back to 1993….care to take a wild guess what Kampa has been doing in Sacramento these last 20 years when he had a VALUABLE CROP OF LAFCO ANNEXATIONS that had matured and were ready for harvest in Lake Don Pedro – JUST ADD WATER RIGHT? And with the help of his prior partner in crime in the mid 1990s, that inter-meddling wannabe cowboy director who unethically relayed confidential board information to Kampa so he could have a management contract ready for signing at the next meeting, the deed was done. Board essentially sold our district to Kampa and his KAMPA COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS, llc, and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PROTECT THE LEGAL CUSTOMERS WHILE GAMBLING WITH THE SUBDIVISION’S FUTURE WATER SERVICE WITH FURTHER OUTSIDE POU SERVICE VIOLATIONS THEY WERE ACTIVELY PLANNING. They catered to Kampa and his LAFCO Special Interests refusing to even check with the State Water Board to confirm the legitimate PLACE OF USE for MERCED RIVER WATER under the license. Worthless shells of integrity as they continue to pat each other on the back and recount how they saved the entire community from drought. lol

A “DO NOTHING BOARD OF DEFECTORS” and the Mariposa COUNTY LAFCO which only months before Kampa’s unethical return to finish his annexation plan, changed the LDPCSD water service boundary in a semi-closed meeting.  And now?  All records are prohibited from public review.   You know Kampa even assisted in wring a State LAFCO manual as I recall.   (If you’re going to cheat might as well cheat with the best.) Lol  Professional crooks in government positions of public service pushing special interests while the taxpaying public always ends up paying more for less.

So there I go again….why did outside MIDPOU cattle rancher and long time LDPCSD Board Director Emery Ross bring up the little fact that McGowan’s Dad worked for the MID a year after Patrick’s employment anniversary date? (Probation period?  Lol   Why did Board President Danny Johnson hide all his past employment information from the public before and after McGowan’s appointment?  Such activity only makes something look suspicious that maybe innocent, yeah?)

So why did “get along ‘ittle Rossi” bring this up at the meeting?  Who knows?  Small talk to sound knowledgeable?  Raising questions as to the GM being an another MID operative working within the LDPCSD again for outside interests? 

Maybe because Emery just can’t help being an asshole? 🙂

Later, Lew
