According to the February 14th addition of the Placer Herald, Rocklin Mayor Brett Storey is NOW calling for a meeting with the Clover Valley Developer and the Indian casino. Can you believe this? After almost 1 million dollars was spent to deceive Rocklin voters into voting to develop Clover Valley and to build a major road that would run through the center of Rocklin direct to the Thunder Valley Casino, Mayor Brett Storey and the Rocklin City Council now want to talk about the specifics for the project.
The 5 members of the Rocklin City Council were elected to make sure they would make represent the people of Rocklin and not the developers, Indian casinos, or any other special interest groups. Looks like the people lost out to the developers and the Indian casino.
Mayor Brett Storey said that he wants to make sure the legal documentation was correct regarding the casino buying the 65 acres and the bike path they agreed to pay for. Once again, how could the City Council convince us to vote for something that they did not even know was legally binding? This is worse than Rocklin School Board President Steve Paul, the “Grand Poobah,” coming to board meetings without ever reading his board package.
We cannot blame the voters of Rocklin for supporting Measure H. Almost 1 million dollars was spent and the measure passed with less than 800 votes. This outcome sends a message that the people of Rocklin want a change this November. It is time to start to thinking about these changes. The Rocklin City Council has 3 seats up for re-election in November. I have heard a rumor that there is talk of re-calling Scott “empty suit’ Yuill and Kathy Lund. Lets not forget that “Empty Suit” Yuill is still an official advisor to the Western Sierra Collegiate Academy. This Empty Suit did not have the guts to show his face at either the Rocklin School District's public hearing or the actual vote for the charter school. On a side note, the leadership of the Western Sierra Collegiate Academy needs to wake up and throw this empty suit of their committee. Lets not forget that Lund and Yuill supported raising the sales tax in Placer County. They also supported the park tax.
If the recall of Yuill and Lund does happen, we could be looking at the possibility of 5 new Rocklin City Council members this November. This would be a welcomed change for the people of Rocklin
