Good-Bye to
Two Lopez's
With Dr. Manny Lopez leaving the Mayor's seat and the soon
departure of Oxnard Police Chief Art Lopez, the City of Oxnard will be
without a Lopez at the helm of any major City govern-ment office.
---- Changing Face of Oxnard ----
There is also chatter amongst the locals at a paradigm
shift that appears to be taking place in Oxnard - that of the return of
"Wonder Bread" to the face of Oxnard leadership. At the
Oxnard
Economic forecast breakfast last year, the presentation focused on the
new "Gentrification" of Oxnard. With all the high end housing
that is beyond the reach of middle-class households, it appears that
Oxnard is trying to reshape and reform its image from being the "Santa
Ana" of Ventura County to become Simi Valley-by-the-Sea.
Be it a reminder, but all that gentle, that the latest two
new
Council-members are non-brown and our heir apparent to inherit the top
slot of the Oxnard PD is similar.
----- Areas to Watch
----
With the population base changing and make-up of
leadership changing, what is next for Oxnard. The City has just
created a new
Citizen Advisory Group (CAG) calling it the "Downtown Design Review Committee"
- for which licensed architects and business owners only are eligible to
join....One has to wonder what will this advisory group recommend to the
city.
Already, there have been complaints about the look of Downtown.
The thrift shops that cater to the needy - the used car lots that serve
the first time buyer and mostly Mexican patron - and the general look of
dilapidated buildings and design makes Oxnard look seedy and the future
calls for more than just an downtown movie house.
Plans for the Oxnard Blvd. corridor will surely come
before the Council once the State relinquishes its control of Oxnard
Blvd. and moves State Route One officially over to Rice Avenue.
Once that happens - Oxnard City will have full control over the
Boulevard and some businesses may be forced to move or close down
completely.
Oxnard's blatant slap in face of Roberto Garcia in his
honest quest for the land adjacent to his funeral home was only the tip
of the iceberg for how Oxnard will treat its Latino business owners.
So Stand-by for more developments similar to the ones
noted - the Oxnard Journal will report on what it finds out.

Big League Dreams
beleaguers Texas Town ---
A Must Read
......
Mansfield, TX, The Citizens of
Mansfield Texas are fighting the Big league Dreams Guys like a tiger.
We have stalled them until May. To Oxnard - You will not be able
to vote on this because the BLD people say you can't. The Redding,
Calif. facility was financed by state grants and loans, but the city was
later fined $450K for polluting the vernal pools. The BLD guys after the
project was built
asked Redding for 1.4 million for artificial turf. Scott Letierrer, BLD
CEO, was the past world soccer CEO.
Bill Simon, your "almost governor"
is reported to
own 38 % of this company. This is not little league as
you already know but a sports venue as defined in Texas. They get money
through the parks departments and state grants for parks. Look up the
California
definition for parks. Brentwood rejected BLD due to funding problems.
The city can't sell tax free bonds for projects that have a net income.
See
www.bigleagueschemes.info.
- read it all, your future is there. Also research on Google for League
City, Texas they have been through hell
with these guys, their mayor was voted out of office, the finance
director quit and is now working for a company that specializes in
economic development and the city is 6 million over budget. Don't let
this be built in your city. These Texas cities are are married to BLD
for 35 years. Their project costs will continue to climb.
I bet your city also signed an operation and maintenance contract as
well. The timing would be logical.
Follow the money.
