Fairy Dust continued from City Voices on 2-25-09

 

Thank God last week Mr. Adams our Mayor was awakened to the fact people will stand up in California City and demand fairness, Mr. Adams, who had an Obvious display of anger, last Tuesday because only one contractor even knew there was going to be a decision on the bid for the Desert Jade Housing Project,  after he made several fruitless and obvious weak cries for bids from his Dias,  with no other attempts to reach contractors, "this is fact not fairy dust".  Mr. Adams Instead of facing the fact, no one knew,  accused contractors of sprinkling Fairy dust on the project, an obvious substance brought here by outsiders wanting to confuse the few that run OZ, excuse me California City. I guess one could confuse Facts for Fairy Dust if one chose to, like someone similar in age could call his friend Daddy all the time, if he chooses to do so.

That brings us to what fairy dust can do to water, if there is no water, but one sprinkles enough Fairy Dust around does that actually bring water, the fact is no. but here is what happens in OZ where it seems to affect only those in charge of the city like Our Public Works director Mr. Bevins. He feels that one phone call to solve a problem is enough, if he waits several months and if no one calls him back, he may make another, then Wait's again. Standard operating procedure here in OZ? He also feels that an 8” meter placed on an 8” line will give you adequate fire abatement to protect lives and fight fires, it won’t. Mr. Bevins also believes that if he or the city does something wrong and you find out that you should keep your mouth shut, or bad things will happen to you, this is a classic case of Fairy Dust Delusion or FDD as it is known.  The city should really check this guy out.  

Back in the day's (Two weeks ago) when the good ole boys ran OZ and love was spread everywhere among themselves, they all believed that facts confused things, not wanting to be confused they invented Fairy dust, anyone spreading facts such as myself and contractors was really spreading fairy dust. It's not hard to believe if you shut your eye's and click your heals together.  

Here is the real facts about my situation, every one in OZ knew of, or was privy to the fact that there is no water in Wonder Acres, sufficient to allow the development of a 100 acre Movie studio, not back in 2000, or now, but they continue to allow development, they have allowed 9 homes and a daycare center to be built here in Wonder Acres along with my studio, knowing they did not have adequate water or sustainable water pressure for development.. So when confronted with the facts the planning commissioners the city council and the public works director start accusing me of spreading fairy dust all over their city, this time they even throw in intimidation as part of their accusations.

Where am I going with this, The planning commission and the city council back then, and now, the council who recently approved new water lines to my studio, knew there was not sufficient water for sustainable pressure here in Wonder Acres, even if they do bring the lines, what they knew then and what they know now won't allow it, that's why they have fought me, not easements. Facts not Fairy Dust.

Close your eyes to facts and imagine someone wanting to cause this city government a problem, then take into consideration that I'm not alone, others before me and after me have spread this dust all over the planning department and the city council chambers (so they believe), then click your heals together and imagine your city, when you open your eyes you wont see OZ.

The new developments are, the roads that lead to my studio they could never be paved even though the city had promised me they would be. The city opened them up without environmental studies or easements, again this is fact not Fairy dust.

The Mayor accused me of making some deal with the former City Manager Jack Stewart. Duh!! That's who you make deals with, the CEO, the big kahuna, the one in charge. They give you a commitment letter when they act on it you keep going. Just like Linda Lunsford our present City Manager, who gave me an Authoritative permit to settle the last battle with the city. The term authoritative means something and That Authoritative permit was never approved by city council, it did not need to be, city managers have the authority, its standard operating procedure. Mr. Adams sees Fairy dust where he should see facts. Hopefully after the last city council meeting he got the message Fairness and Facts not Fairy Dust.

 If Jack Stewart was wrong, then why is he not in jail?  Why did we not collect from Matrix motors, what happened to vehicles left there that needed DMV attention, but now don't appear on anyone's list?  These vehicles were referred to in a city council meeting, what happened there? Why is Mike Ellison gone? Why is the city allowing projects to go undone like the Tierra Del Sol behind the new bank?  I'll tell you why, everyone in charge believes in this dam Fairy Dust. More to come!!
