Courthouse Rip-off of Bakersfield Taxpayers
By Ken Mettler | 02/10/09 | 08:19 PM EDT | 0 Comments
Why is the Bakersfield City Council allowing a San Francisco based federal bureaucrat to demand that the taxpayers of Bakersfield gift over one million dollars of public property to a private developer? Why did the Redevelopment Agency spend $428,000 of taxpayers money on an adjacent parcel to provide the parking for this project? Why would the city consider giving this private developer "property tax relief"? Why is an additional federal earmark of $3.3 million needed to make this odd site feasible?
The city of Bakersfield, its Redevelopment Agency and the GSA are violating multiple laws, regulations, and court case precedent.
Is the city being duped by the heavy-handed Feds or are they using the Courthouse to save the Mill Creek Redevelopment boondoggle?
Why is the low bidder with the superior, non taxpayer subsidized site being overlooked?
The city of Bakersfield administration is in the process of doing an injustice to the people of Bakersfield whom they have sworn to serve.
