Sam Williams

Editor of the Lassen County Times filed a lawsuit against a Kan We Help member for Defamation

and LOST   SC 60880 Judgment in favor of Spencer

Kan We Help began receiving demands, in January, for retractions. All of these cryptic threats to Kan We Help came from skywatersam@gmail.com .  Kan We Help could not identify "skywatersam" and ignored the threats, but the threats continued and then "skywatersam" demanded $10,000.

The Judge determined that nothing on the Kan We Help website was defamatory or libelous.

Sam Williams drew public outrage for printing and reprinting one person's "Letters to the Editor" week after week after week.  Kan We Help believes that the Williams agenda was to increase circulation. To support this belief, Sam Williams published a letter again from this same person, on August 22, 2017. Williams, then proceeded in the very next issue of the Lassen County Times, published a half page of complaints about why he allowed another factless, religious, racist letter.   The "public" again expressed their outrage when Williams continued to post these vile letters.  Kan We Help believes this person had the right to racist remarks but Williams took the chance that the public would agree with it.  They didn't..............

The judgment was based on Williams failure to prove by a preponderance of evidence that Spencer wrote any of the posts on Kan We Help's website, that the posts did not rise to the level of defamation and that Williams did not provide any evidence of economic damages. SC 60880 Decision

501(c) 3 Corporation: donations are tax deductible

Unincorporated Non-profit Associations: donations are not tax deductible

Lassen Sportsman's Club Admits

that they are not a 501 (c) 3 corporation as

the Lassen County Times falsely claimed

They are registered only as an un-incorporated

 "non-profit association"

As Kan We Help has explained,

donations to this club are not tax deductible

The Lassen County Times put this non-profit association at risk for major fines by the State of California, by deliberately and knowingly publishing a lie

and owes the Lassen Sportsman's Club an apology

Bob Burns needs to retire.

He serves no useful purpose to the citizens of Lassen County

Does he continue to be an embarrassment to the County ?

He screwed up the Marijuana issue in Lassen County

He has no respect for the Brown Act

The County has an infestation of drug traffic......No budget for drug task force

Does his bad advice to the Supervisors secure his job or will it end it?

Lassen County Supervisors Slide Back Into Sleazy

Why?

The Lassen County Supervisors are taking the Show on the Road. The April 24, 2018 Lassen County Board of Supervisors meeting will be held in Bieber, CA at 10:00 AM

The Supervisors have put "Discretionary" donations to un-qualified businesses in the Consent Calendar. In 2015, County Counsel Bob Burns changed the Rules so that no Consent Calendar item can be pulled by a member of the public. Basically as illegal as you can get according to the Brown Act.  The Supervisors then load the Consent Calendar up with the majority of the business.  Sleazy?  You betcha.

Now, County Counsel has placed  H-2 on the Agenda for tomorrow.  Bob Burns is requesting authorization to initiate some type of litigation and offers four (4) attachments.  A Resolution (?) , Professional Services Agreement (hiring outside counsel), a brochure (?).......and "Lassen Facts" (?). BUT THERE IS INTENTIONALLY NO LINK TO THESE ATTACHMENTS

First, the Brown Act provides for any new need for "litigation" in a Closed Session setting.  Second, this is new level of sleaze even for Bob Burns.

Bob Burns needs to retire.

He serves no useful purpose to the citizens of Lassen County

UPDATE:

Less than an hour after this post Kan We Help received this graceful response from the County Clerk

Problem fixed:

discrimination fund

Supervisor Albaugh attempts to donate $400 to the Susanville Ranch Park Neighborhood Watch for signs. 

Supervisor Tom Hammond attempts to donate $1328 to C&S Waste, not a non-profit corporation, and does not state the purpose of this donation.........possibly clean-up at his Herlong properties (?)

The California Secretary of State does not recognize any of these businesses as 501(c) 3 tax exempt non-profit corporations.

In Lassen County, the sun shines for the rattle snacks and not for the butterflies

Lassen County Discrimination Fund

For decades the Lassen County Supervisors have been allowed to have a "slush fund". The Budget amount has gone up and down over the years but the discriminatory practice of the disbursements remains the same.

Discretionary Fund

Public records show that this slush fund account has been abused and Supervisors have donated to non-public entities, non-tax exempt entities and many "individuals" (?).

DISCRETIONARY FUND

Public records show that the 2013/2014 Budget donated 27% to non-qualifying businesses

Public records show that the 2014/2015 Budget donated 35% to non-qualifying businesses

Public records show that the 2015/2016 Budget donated 37% to non-qualifying businesses

Public records show that the 2016/2017 Budget donated 32% to non-qualifying businesses

The Lassen County Supervisors and the Lassen County Times claim that these non-qualifying businesses are tax-exempt businesses when they are not,  may be the biggest tragedy.

The 156 businesses that have been identified as non-tax exempt businesses may not be aware of the false statements made by the Lassen County Times and the Lassen County Supervisors.

Kan We Help has notified the Lassen County Auditor that proper identification has to be made in order to issue 1099 Forms to the 156 businesses that are not tax-exempt corporations that have received donations.

501(c) 3 and 4 status gives these non-profit corporations the ability to give tax-deductible status to their donors.

(an IRS registered "non-profit association" does not have tax-exempt status nor can they tell donors that their donations are tax-deductible)

Sunshine is the best disinfectant

The Lassen County Times

continues to do the community a disservice

by claiming that donations to the Lassen Sportsmen's Club

are tax deductible.......they simply are not !

While this event is a worthwhile event, deceit is not an option

The IRS can impose a penalty up to $10,000 for "claiming to be" a

 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

The Lassen Sportsmen's Club must come forward and correct the statements made by the Lassen County Supervisors [with the exception of Supervisor Albaugh who voted NO on the Lassen Sportsmen Club donations] and the Lassen County Times. 

The Lassen Sportsmen's Club

is not a tax exempt club.

Here is an example of a legitimately registered

501(c) 3 Club that can offer tax deductions

Richard Parker,

Lassen County's Mass Bird Killer

is among the "UNTOUCHABLES"

Parker will not even be charged for these horrific crimes. The DA knows she cannot prosecute one of  Lassen County's "UNTOUCHABLES".

Fish & Game should be requesting a Special Prosecutor from the California State Attorney General's office

CHRIS GALLAGHER HAS BROUGHT BACK

THE

"GOOD OLE BOYS" CLUB

MR.  SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW

The new Chairman of the Board of Supervisors thinks he can vote on any issue and later is allowed to ignore the will of the Board.

On January 9, 2018, the Lassen County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve Chris Gallaghers $500 donation to a newly formed Neighborhood Watch in Westwood. This group was not an IRS tax-exempt organization but was registered with the IRS as a non-profit. Chris Gallagher then decided that he would not issue the $500 check.

Gallagher claims that he was told by "someone" that any funds distributed to anyone from the $25,000 Discretionary Fund needs to be registered, with the IRS, as tax-exempt (501 (c) 3 or 4 corporation).

Left to right: Chairman  of the Lassen County Board of Supervisors Chris Gallagher and Lassen County Counsel Bob Burns

After researching the groups that the Supervisors give Discretionary Funds to and speaking with the IRS, Franchise Tax Board and the Secretary of State's office, Kan We Help found that Lassen County had written over 4 dozen checks to NON-TAX EXEMPT businesses (Supervisors friends)

The "public" websites for the IRS, Franchise Tax Board and Secretary of State confirmed that the County has been giving away money against their own policy. (that any Discretionary Funds paid out must be tax-exempt corporations).

 Checks have been written to businesses

that have no tax-exempt status.

On March 27, 2018, the Board of Supervisors voted (Agenda H-6) not only to give a private club $1,000 but voted to allow this private club the use of Lassen County's insurance. This private club is not registered as a tax-exempt business.

Gallagher claimed that Lassen County sponsors the event that the Lassen Sportsman's Club holds each year. The Supervisors have donated tax-payers dollars to this private club for decades without adding it to any Budget. You will find the Chamber of Commerce in the Budget.

And yet, each year, they donate large amounts to a private non-tax exempt club from their Discretionary Fund that does not allow such donations.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CHAIRMAN

CHRIS GALLAGHER GIVEN BAD INFORMATION

$25,000,000 GRANT COMES WITH MORE THAN A $1,250,000 COUNTY OBLIGATION

3/20/18 LCPIC annual meeting to approve loan amendment Left to Right:   Lassen County Board of Supervisors Chris Gallagher, County Counsel Bob Burns

In 1989, prior to Gallagher being elected, Lassen County took out a $6,675,000 loan to build a new jail, new juvenile detention facility, purchase a new computer system and to repair certain County buildings.  Kan We Help has evidence this loan was never paid off and when KWH noticed the County, it just disappeared from the "books".

On June 1, 2015, prior to Gallagher being elected, the Lassen County Supervisors, voted to put the County's APN 101-150-01 parcel (23.45 acres) up as collateral to obtain a $4,080,000 loan. 

In the 2015 loan documents, the 27 year old Juvenile Hall was the collateral which sits on the 23.5 acres. The LCPIC loan EXHIBIT A, PROPERTY DESCRIPTION states that the collateral is the:

 "Juvenile Hall and the property under said building, located at 1415 Chestnut Street, Susanville, CA  96130 on a portion of the real property of the County". 

APN 101-150-01 Parcel in blue prior to subdividing in 2017

The Lassen County CAO Richard Egan was responsible for NOT SUBDIVIDING APN-101-150-01 (1415 Chestnut, Susanville) which would have clearly defined Lassen County's collateral for the 2015 loan.

SUPERVISOR GALLAGHER STATED AT THE ANNUAL LCPIC MEETING ON MARCH 20, 2018 THAT "THE LOAN DID NOT INCLUDE THE 23.45 ACRES".

......technically it did, legally it did

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT VOTED ON 3/20/18

PAY ATTENTION:

The new Parcel Map states the following:

"We are all the parties having any record title interest in the real property subdivided by this Map".

Burns and Egan tricked the Lenders into thinking

that the County's collateral did not change.

....but the County's First Amendment, Exhibit C, fraudulently states a lie

Lassen County Supervisors will invalidate the property the County offered as collateral ,to the Lenders of the COP loan ($4,080,000 COP loan) ,

first at the Board of Supervisors Meeting on March 20

and then

at the LCPIC annual meeting 1:00 PM (Administration Bldg)

The naive Supervisor Gallagher will do as he is told and sign on to this fraud

Why? Because it would not show a value of $4,080,000.

WILL THIS BE EGAN'S AND BURNS WATERLOO?

SKULDUGGERY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

Lassen County's Intention to Impair the Validity

of the 2015

$4 million dollar loan

Lassen County issued a second Certificate of Participation for $4,080,000 in 2015. It was intended to do three things: purchase and remodel the Riverside property, build a community swimming pool with the City of Susanville and remodel the old Courthouse on Lassen Street.  The funds were so mismanaged that there were no funds left to do the courthouse remodel (add an elevator). In addition, Lassen County is having difficulty each year finding funds to pay the interest payment on the $4 million dollar loan

LASSEN COUNTY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION

In 2017, Kan We Help objected to Lassen County de-valuing the 2015 $4,080,000 loan collateral without the Lenders (TPB/Western Alliance) knowledge or approval. The Lender (TPB/Western Alliance) originally agreed to take 23.5 acres as collateral (Jail, Cemetery, Juvenile Hall) in exchange for lending Lassen County $4,080,000.

This loan would not have been secured with 2.5 acres that the Juvenile Hall sits on

THE QUAGMIRE

1. Lassen County has not disclosed how much they will need to borrow, in order to qualify for this $25,000,000

2. The Grant is conditional. Lassen County has not disclosed the "conditions" of the Grant

DECEPTION

The Grant application was submitted with full knowledge that the property was encumbered. The $25,000,000 Grant does not allow any debt on the property.  Originally, the intended property for this Grant was the Juvenile Hall that sits on the 23.5 acres which is entirely encumbered by the COP loan.

So........in a stroke of genius or idiocy (aka larceny), the County moved to change the 23.5 acres into four parcels. Placing the Juvenile Hall on a 2.5 acre parcel by itself. By doing so, it changes nothing. The 23.5 acres remains the "collateral" for the $4,080,000 loan unless the County can TRICK the Lender into signing away their collateral.............

The Lender signed off on the new Parcel Map (See above, creation of four new parcels) but there is no evidence that they have knowledge of Lassen County attempting to free up 21 acres from the Lenders collateral.

"Who" would knowingly agree to invalidate their "collateral"

"PROPOSED" FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE LCPIC LOAN

District Attorney Threatens Political Foes.......

....why now?

" to those who have broken the law here in Lassen County, let there be no question. You will be investigated, you will be prosecuted",   Stacey Montgomery

WE CALL: BULLSHIT

For the last 4 years, Montgomery looked the other way and failed to even investigate crimes committed against her Critics. Cases sit with the Sheriff that Montgomery refused to prosecute because they were crimes against her critics (vandalism, harassment, theft, attempted bodily harm)

CRIMINAL CASES DISMISSED BY THE COURT FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Law enforcement has been crippled under Montgomery, now she vows to go after "corruption"...let's help her out.......someone hand this person a very large mirror

Local Neighborhood Watch Groups

Organizing Throughout Lassen County to Fight Crime

Lassen County Supervisors are donating funds from their "Discretionary Fund" to Neighborhood Watch Groups being organized in Lassen County.  These groups are being formed to reduce crime in their area.  They cooperate closely with law enforcement

Two have been formed in Supervisor Gallagher's District; Spalding Neighborhood Watch  and Mountain Meadows Community Watch. 

Supervisor Hemphill has donated to the Milford Community Association and Supervisor Teeter is supporting the North Central Neighborhood Watch group. 

These are registered with the IRS as non-profit associations with the exception of the Milford Community Association which is registered with the IRS as a "Non-Profit tax-exempt" corporation.

Local Public Utility Overcharges Ratepayers Millions

Lassen Municipal Utility District has overcharged their Ratepayers millions of dollars. This public utility has banked millions of dollars for a future transmission station "Skeddadle" that will carry renewable energy from Nevada to California.

The PROBLEM: They have not been able to secure a contract with any Nevada Power company.

Tens of millions of dollars sit in LMUD's bank account and they can't use it.   LMUD still must deal with the Hayden Hill clean up and that could take the whole wad.  

DON'T EVEN CONSIDER A RATE HIKE LMUD!

National Rife Association/Gun Manufacturer Lobby

The NRA was chartered on November 17, 1871.  It has grown to a $380 million dollar gun lobby. 

The "gun safety" NRA is long gone.

In 1936, there was no outrage of  Second Amendment violations when Congress outlawed machine guns.

The 1936 gun safety law was about protecting the public

In 2018,  these mass-killing guns continue to kill our children

THIS IS ABOUT ENACTING GUN SAFETY LAWS

Westwood's Wayne Cramer Pled Guilty

to

Two Charges of Violation of a Criminal Protective Order

Wayne Cramer was arrested, in Westwood on  October 5, 2017 and then released by a visiting judge and a very incompetent District attorney. After being released, Cramer then violated a Criminal Protective Order and was arrested again on January 18, 2018.

Judge Mark Nareau told the Defendant

that he had a violent history and was a danger to society

Cramer pled guilty to two charges and was sentenced to two years. As a condition to his pleading guilty, Cramer will serve 13 months in a Rehab Program outside of Lassen County. Judge Nareau told Cramer if he doesn't complete this program he will be returned to Lassen County and serve 364 days in jail.

Judge Nareau reprimanded the District Attorney for claiming that Cramer was never served the Criminal Protective Order and attempting to dismiss the charges against Cramer. Cramer was served the CPO last November.

The National Rifle Association

DOES NOT ALLOW GUNS

at their meetings or conventions

*..........WHY?

Congress

DOES NOT ALLOW GUNS

in the House and Senate Chambers

............WHY?

*Mass shootings continue in our schools, churches and our nation. This is not only a reality but a massive problem. The US Congress and the National Rifle Association (Lobbyist for the gun industry) are joined at the hip. The NRA pays Congress to fight any gun safety laws or regulations. Trump revoked the ban on selling guns to the mentally ill and is now promoting a national law for "open carry".

This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment and has everything to do with greed and the safety of our nation

On March 24, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida will march in Washington DC to advocate throwing out ANY Congressperson, Republican or Democrat that has taken any money from the NRA.

Lassen County CAO Richard Egan

is

requesting a one year extension

on his contract today?

His contract currently expires March 10, 2019

The Supervisors would have to notify Egan by March 10, 2018 if they do not intend to extend his contract past 2019

If Egan is terminated today, he would receive one years salary.

If the Supervisors approve his contract to 2020 and terminate him tomorrow, he would receive two years salary.

IT'S ALL ABOUT $$$$$$$

ONE STOP FUNDS DEPLETED IN 2015

Lassen County One-Stops

The Lassen County CAO deceived everyone, including the Board of Supervisors, about the three One-Stop remodels in Lassen County. The $788,000 Proposition 63 Funds were spent by October 15, 2015. There are no funds to remodel the Herlong, Westwood, or Big Valley One Stops.

In a November 15, 2015  e-mail to Kan We Help, Melody Brawley, confirmed that all the Proposition 63 Funds were in Fund 164.The Auditor also confirmed that the "restricted" Proposition 63 Funds were deposited and spent in Fund 164.  Kan We Help requested and received an 86 page printout of the available financial activity from Fund 164 (6/13/11 to 12/28/17) from the Lassen County Auditor.

This printout indicated that Fund 164 (Proposition 63 Funds)  was overdrawn by over $300,000 as of December 28, 2017 and numerous anomalies need further explanations. This deception falls on the shoulders of the County Administrative Officer.

The Lassen County Public Works Department was instructed repeatedly to issue many useless RFP's (Request for Proposals) to make it appear that the County was going to "remodel" the three One-Stops that serve the underprivileged.

NO CONTRACTS WERE EVER ISSUED

.......now we know why

Who told HSP Resources,LLC that they would be given the Army's Airfield and that Interstate-11 would be developed in California near their Herlong properties? 

Three guesses and the first two don't count.

HSP Resources, LLC did not get the Amedee Army Airfield or the Interstate-11 extension.
