However, the Judicial Council has budgeted (91.18.001) only $36,100 for the fiscal year 2010. The Judicial Council budgeted acquisition, preliminary plans and working drawings for 09/10. Nothing has been budgeted for fiscal year 10/11 for the $39,000,000 court house.

Under SB 1407 ($5 billion to fund 41 new or renovated court facilities) only five new Court houses were approved for 2010, Placerville, Hanford, Glendale, Ukiah and Yreka. These new courthouses will create 13,775 new jobs in California at a cost of $572,238,000.

History of the property the State of California purchase

for the "alleged " New Court House.

Politics in Lassen County can be tracked directly to real estate transactions. 

If you have the inside track on a big business or government agency wanting to take up residence in Lassen County you have to have a politician in your pocket. Names like Mary Fallon, Kathleen Lazard, NST, Ridgely Lazard, Stephen Bradbury can be directly connected to the court property.

This is how it works: You buy the property before anyone else finds out. Then you start selling it back and forth to your friends to drive the market price up, then suddenly it is sold to Wal-Mart or the State of California

California Broke......

New Court House or just a "remodel" of the old ones?

Judge Bradbury Requests Proposal for a 33'x21' building in front of Department 2

How can "this" expense be justified?

A 33 foot x 21 foot security building is needed for the public to pass through a metal detector........and yes...this means that the parking lot will be eliminated but it will create jobs. Well, at least 3 anyway.

Of course this is logical, given the long and bloody history of terrorists attacks in Lassen County.

Is the State of California in such great shape that they can waste money on this "temporary" structure?

Sacramento Bee, 2/21/08

The "Public" would like to know if Lassen County is still getting the NEW COURT HOUSE.

Judge Stephen Bradbury presented plans, to the Board of Supervisors, last year for Lassen County's new Court Building that would house up to five new court rooms.
