lest we forget


 Lest we forget. Up until 1978, property taxes in California were completely out of control, rising to levels that forced some residents on low or fixed incomes out of their homes. Politicians seem to know no bounds when it comes to spending your tax money. That has not changed to date, and Oxnard’s politicians are no different. When they run out of your taxes to squander, they simply raise the tax level.

In 1978 California voters, not the politicians, passed Proposition 13. Its passage did three things. First, it rolled back property assessment values to 1976 levels. Second, it limited assessment to increase only 2% per year. And third, it fixed real property tax increases to 1% per year.

Well, taking your tax money away from a politician is like trying to snatch a pork chop from a hungry lion. 
 



        
           So in 1982, the State Legislature passed the Community Facilities Act, known as “Mello-Roos”. It was specifically designed to circumvent the tax restrictions of Prop 13, make no mistake about that. Politicians couldn’t upend Prop 13 without going to the voters. However, Prop 13 only applies to one’s real property: the home sitting on the land, not the land itself. An out the politicians quickly exploited via the CFA/Mello-Roos, and a pretty sneaky end run.

Voting for the CFA gives politicians unlimited access to your tax dollars, make no mistake about that either. If their intention really was to increase funds for the Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs), there is a simple and legal procedure for the city to follow. Due to mismanagement, the city of Oxnard is in desperate need of money and this CFA measure will soon be on your ballet.


What Oxnard’s citizens need to realize is that not all “grifters” are in Washington DC.

you're that dangerous?


 Why would we want to militarize our police, arm them to the teeth like some kind of  two-bit Rambo.
What are they afraid of? That there is going to be an violent uprising against the corruption at city hall?
In that case a 50 caliber machine gun could certainly cools down the most  fevered protester.





In today's city council agenda is an item that will allow the City to purchase military equipment even including:

*Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater
*“Flashbang” grenades and explosive breaching tools, “tear gas,” and “pepper balls,”
*High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV),  two and one-half ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached
*Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind
*Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion
*The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers
*Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long Range Acoustic Device

 


 


*Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles
* etc.
We must start paying close attention as to what our so called Oxnard city leaders are up to.

Constitution -- What Constitution?

 

The Sixth Amendment provides that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him." 


Unless of course you live in Oxnard, CA. which conjures up its own "due process."


The city’s plan seems to be to consolidate all financial natters into a few staff members hands with little oversight (checks and balances) from the elected City Treasurer.


It doesn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to ascertain their motive and possible subsequent abuses.


This matter goes to court on Tues. May 4, 2021.

Stay tuned.

Phillip Molina is the duly elected City Treasurer.

 


A report the City doesn't want you to see.

Good People,

For over a year now I have been fighting the city manager in my capacity as your elected City Treasurer, for the right to perform the statutory duties you elected me to do.  By the City Manager's actions, which the last Mayor and Council approved, he has stripped me of the staff I need to get the job done and he completely eliminated the  Oxnard Treasurer's Department.

I provide the attached document, which tells how the city has denied no expense to try to stop me from getting this injustice into court, for your review.

Respectfully,

Phillip Molina

"dark money"

 
 Our Supreme Court, as outlined in our Constitution, is designed to be the final and un-biased “check and balances of our governmental system.” Unfoundedly that is no longer true, taken over by a flood of “dark money.”
The convoluted flow of that money and the ultimate control of SCTUS is exposed by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. A must read for all who are concerned about our democracy.

post election chaos

 

There is a likelihood that there will be 2020 post election chaos.
The trouble will emanate from both domestic and foreign sources eager to see Trump’s reelection. Trump would love to see this election settled in his “loaded” Supreme Court.



Be prepared for it, be a “critical thinker,” “separate the wheat from the chaff.”
