Scams, money and Measure T



Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap has a My Word in today's TS. Without Measure T, the Country is going down the drain, dontcha know. She believes in government by the people, and damn the Constitution.

Read it if you can stomach it. ☛ TS The ongoing struggle for the right to self-government ((Cough))

But ask yourself, and her next time you see her - how much money has she raised with all the solicitations of money for Measure T? They're all over the internet, with a fast easy DONATE now button. So how much has she raised?

And HOW BIG IS THE CHECK SHE WROTE TO THE COUNTY OF HUMBOLDT TO COVER THE $100,000.00+ MEASURE T LITIGATION COSTS?

$50?
$100?
$1,000?

I'm sure I would've noticed if they had a Press Conference to present the check. Maybe she did it quietly.

Somebody didn't get the memo...



Uhhh, Larry Evans and Mark Lovelace don't have, repeat, DON'T HAVE a plan

But the slick mailer arrived in mailboxes yesterday is designed to bamboozle the public and set the stage for an Al Gore-like squeal about the public's will being denied in order to continue the attacks on whichever of the entities who DO have plans in front of the bankruptcy court, Hurwitz or no Hurwitz. The villain will just change faces. That's one way to look at this.

The other is that Lovelace/Miller/Evans/et al continue trying to find a backdoor way to acquire Palco lands. Mark didn't put in all that time working on the Community Forest for nothing. He knew the endgame was coming, and that was just on-the-job-training. And this is a nice little political plug just at a time when - surprise, surprise - Mark is running for Supervisor. Or is it President of the Send Us Your Money Coalition?

What's more - The Governor of California and Congressman Thompson have come out in support of Mendocino Redwood plan - in fact, it looks like everyone is supporting the Mendocino Redwood Plan.

Even EPIC cares more about the employees of Pacific Lumber than Lovelace does. despite his crocodile tears some months ago.

The Eureka Reporter's coverage: Schwarzenegger backs MRC plan for PALCO reorganization (TS is in the link above)

The Mirror has it along with some interesting tidbits - like the GreatRedwood website was registered a few days before the mailer came out - on April Fool's day, no less.

If ever you needed proof of the organizational shell game these guys play, and how it is the same little group of players, this is a very clear example.
