It's that continuing slide towards more residential (like we need any more) that pisses me off.<BR/><BR/>And the University? That's a fucking pipe dream at present. If it gets too crowded on top of Awbrey Butte, then some ancillary campus buildings could be built in JR.Bewerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389021459268558541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670126362897564450.post-64713555014640614292007-12-21T17:31:00.000-08:002007-12-21T17:31:00.000-08:00Re-reading the HBM review today on Juniper-Ridge m...Re-reading the HBM review today on Juniper-Ridge made me think about some names he dropped.<BR/><BR/>With regards to how the old boys in Bend get rich, and got cut out of the JR deal by Kuratek.<BR/><BR/>The names were Brooks, Old-Mill, and other big projects. Note that I posted the CRS guy who is claiming that JR land is the best deal in Bend, and will have the best ROI.<BR/><BR/>But note, that most land around JR, is owned of course by Hollern. Note also the guy who put together Old-Mill was financed by Les Schwab.<BR/><BR/>Also note that EVERY FUCKING THING that is done for HOLLERN is done by Hap-Taylor aka Knife-River aka Capell.<BR/><BR/>Then you get the Les Schwab infrastructure, Capell/Hap-Taylor gets the money, Les Schwab gets the goods, and City of Bend taxpayer gets the bill.<BR/><BR/>Note, that HBM makes it clear that this is how its always been in Bend, being a small town and all that, and that KURATEK was going to change this, but NOTE that KURATEK has changed fucking nothing.<BR/><BR/>The same people who always make money already have a done-deal on Juniper-Ridge, something that HBM failed to mention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670126362897564450.post-16784170552138630442007-12-21T13:05:00.000-08:002007-12-21T13:05:00.000-08:00NO.

The only "real estate issue" that can legally be discussed in executive session is specifically to "conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to negotiate real property transactions".<BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/>Not to spoon feed you bruce, but the LS Agreement is well written by Schwabe, Williams, & Wyatt of PDX, lawfirm who just happens to run EDCO, which just happens to RUN BEND.<BR/><BR/>In that agreement they make clear that if a rat has light flashed on it you must say "This secret because the state of oregon says that real estate Appraisals can be secret".<BR/><BR/>That's it, end of story, the entire JR process was NOT a fucking REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL.<BR/><BR/>HBM, is LAZY TURD, the guy is a loser, he's been making minimum wage for over 20 years in Bend, he says "ALL real estate issues in Bend, are secret from the citizenry".<BR/><BR/>This is BULLSHIT. The ONLY time that a real-estate issue can be 'secret' is when its an APPRAISAL.<BR/><BR/>Now if you read the SWW LS agreement, you'll see that they suggest ALL CUNTS to say that ALL activity is "real estate appraisal".<BR/><BR/>Go to the bathroom, take a like "real estate appraisal".<BR/><BR/>Governor gets caught have sex with 13 year old girl "real estate appraisal".<BR/><BR/>City gives $15M to Les Schwab, ..."real estate appraisal".<BR/><BR/>HBM's mother kicks him out of the garage, where he's been living for twenty years "real estate appraisal".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670126362897564450.post-26737644763815059412007-12-20T16:21:00.000-08:002007-12-20T16:21:00.000-08:00Re: call the police...I have contacted the Oregon ...Re: call the police...<BR/><BR/>I have contacted the Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission and will follow up from there.

There are dozens of complaints about how kuratek did business in San Mateo, and how he tried to steal 'bay meadows' a race track that was 100 years old, from the users, they won, kuratek LOST.<BR/><BR/>HBM, is a very lazy journalist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670126362897564450.post-134210459981794142007-12-20T13:00:00.000-08:002007-12-20T13:00:00.000-08:00bruce, maybe you should call the police??The only ...bruce, maybe you should call the police??<BR/><BR/>The only thing you can do is file a complaint with the State, all cities in Oregon, must follow the charter.<BR/><BR/>So, you have to send the info to the Oregon Attorney General, and file a formal complaint, that the city of bend is being bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
