CORRUPTION The County should sue the city because of Castle & Cooke a big Jefferies supporter. WRCOG should sue if the city approves Castle & Cooke 20 Million Dollar exemption on Nov. 13, 2012. The idiots on the Planning Commision decided to give Castle & Cooke a 20 million dollar exemption ROTFLMAF and said everything looks good along with Barbara Leipold (city attorney). The City will also lose ONE MILLIONS DOLLARS A YEAR IN THE BUDGET FROM TUMF FUNDS. The city is also threatened with litigation by WRCOG because of this issue. This is Agenda Item 12 no the Nov. 13, 2012 agenda look at page 3 of 85. How do you spell CORRUPTION????
Linda is correct when she wants a new environmental study, a 22 year old study is outdated. The builders plans are questionable look online at Addendum IV CEQA which is full of all kinds of inaccurate information. There is a golf course noted in the Multiple Species Habitat Land. I believe the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission is out of line giving a developer a 20 million dollar exemption. Look at all the changes they have made to the general plan in the last 20+ years. 20 million dollars would build a lot of roads and more in Lake Elsinore. I don't believe the people on the planning commission are that stupid, so what are they doing? Do things change depending on who asks for something from the Planning Commission.

@B.K.-- Thank you for your help with the community :) I have a great respect for all teachers!

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.
