Subject: [Occupymendocino] Update on Senior Center Board meeting
Message-ID: <02465390-BF7B-41BA-A3CD-2994DC838E8B@mcn.org>

Update on Senior Center Board meeting June 29, 2012
Briefly, Occupy Mendocino was told that our rental fee for meeting at  
the Senior Center was increasing from $20 monthly to $100 monthly ($50/ 
meeting), which we cannot afford. In order to get clarification, many  
of us attended their monthly board meeting last Friday.

The first agenda item was Audience Comments and several of us spoke.  
We said we came to give a face to Occupy Mendocino, that we're almost  
all seniors, and consider the Senior Center part of our community.  
We're a nonpartisan organization working to better the living  
conditions of all people, including seniors. We were there to clear  
the air and clarify the policy for renting spaces.

It became apparent that they don't have a consistent policy for  
renting spaces. Some groups are sponsored projects of the Senior  
Center (i.e., knitting group, exercise group), some pay according to  
the space they rent (i.e., by size), others like Soroptomists, Rotary,  
pay other fees. Occupy Mendocino doesn't fit into any of these  
categories and there's no consistency within Senior Center guidelines.  
Much of the renting of rooms is at the discretion of Charles Bush,  
director.

What came out were two issues: First, one lunch hour, someone asked  
people to sign a petition to make Fort Bragg a foreclosure prevention  
zone (a petition we generated at OM) and the Senior Center got  
negative feedback about "being political." The board also mentioned  
getting negative feedback in the past because someone wore a button  
with her name and had added something like "a proud member of the  
Presbyterian Church."

Although Bea Erickson, founder of the Senior Center, was an activist,  
the current Senior Center has changed the focus   within the center,  
not wanting to anyone to be "uncomfortable" in any way. I always  
thought being "uncomfortable" was a good thing. It's good to have our  
comfortable patterns jiggled a bit. It seems that only basic care,  
food, transportation, and entertainment are encouraged.

Secondly, the Senior Center is around $40,000 in the hole financially  
and has been told to increase their income.

The board seemed to be of two minds: several members are progressive  
and support OM and other members are conservative and don't support  
OM. One board member said that they need to work out consistency  
regarding renting rooms and perhaps can come up with a dollar amount  
that can be subsidized by OM folks volunteering at the Center as the  
Center needs both more income and help.

Attending the meeting appeared to be helpful to both Board and OM  
members.

At the end of the 30-minute Audience Comments time most OM members  
left the meeting. Claire and Linda stayed for another hour of the  
meeting. At the end of his financial report, Charles Bush reported  
that a non-OM member had approached him, said he heard of the problem  
between the Center and OMers, and offered to pay the Center the going  
rate, for OM, for the next three months, until the matter was settled.

Does anyone know where we will be meeting this coming Saturday?

Onward,
Linda

Just a few minutes ago, the Homeowner Bill of Rights was passed by  
the California State Legislature.  This means that Wall Street Banks  
are on notice: California will no longer tolerate the unfair and  
abusive foreclosure practices of the big banks.

The banks fought this legislation with everything they had.  They  
spent $70,000 a day filling the campaign accounts of elected  
officials and the halls of the capital with lobbyists.  Together, we  
fought back with a strategic, coordinated and powerful campaign that  
ultimately prevailed.  We organized thousands of boots on the ground,  
held rallies in key districts, earned dozens and dozens of media hits  
and made it clear that legislators would be exposed if they choose  
Banks over communities.

OCCUPY MENDOCINO (the Mendocino Coast) and the Global OCCUPY Movement

Courage Campaign Report on Homeowners Bill of Rights

After four years of work, the California Legislature just passed the Homeowner Bill of Rights (SB 900 and AB 278). We beat the Big Banks. Thank you, thank you, thank you. YOU who raised your voice and proved that even in this age of unparalleled corporate power, a smart, creative, and relentless coalition campaign can beat back the corporate lobbyists.
.
 Because of our work, the Homeowner Bill of Rights will end the most deceptive and unethical practices of mortgage lenders:
"Dual tracking" -- when a homeowner is negotiating with their bank only to be suddenly foreclosed upon -- will be outlawed; 
Lenders will have to provide homeowners with a single, accountable point of contact, ending the run-around of starting over with a new customer service representative every time they call; 
And most importantly, when banks break the law, Californians now have the power to take them to court and stop a foreclosure.
Big Banks and the Chamber of Commerce fought this bill until the very end, but because of our endless work to educate lawmakers and hold them accountable, the bill has passed the Legislature and will soon be on Gov. Brown's desk

 
We raise the voices of regular people, pushing relentlessly and aggressively. We work in coalition and we win. We don't care what politicians think of us. We care about working for you to get the job done.
 
We are proud to have partnered with the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), PICO, CRC, CRL, and the many other groups that worked tirelessly to bring this to pass. When our representatives in Sacramento do the right thing, we want to make sure you know it. On this fight, several elected officials truly led and acted with courage: Attorney General Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Darrell Steinberg, Sen. Noreen Evans, Sen. Ron Calderon, Asm. Mike Feuer, and Asm. Mike Eng. In particular, Sen. Calderon stood tall and made this happen when it truly counted.
 
Yours in the fight for a better California,

Hope for Homeowners

By Van Jones, Reader Supported News

03 July 12

 
o you remember when buying a home was a part of the American Dream?

Jaime Gonzalez does. It was that dream that encouraged the retired state police officer and his wife, a retired nurse, to purchase their home for $150,000 in Oviedo, FL in 2004. With 3 children, 6 grandchildren, and one great grandchild, the house was part of their dream for the future.

They pay $1,493.53 towards that dream every month. Of that, only one hundred dollars goes towards their principle, the other $1,393.53 all goes towards their massive interest rate of 7.5%.

So why doesn't Jaime, and the millions of Americans who are in his position, refinance? Jaime's mortgage company refuses to let him, and regulatory barriers are stopping him from finding another bank to take advantage of today's rock bottom interest rates. Meanwhile, banks continue to rake in billions of dollars every year off of homeowners.

Like most folks in Florida, their home is worth tens of thousands of dollars less than their original mortgage. That means selling isn't even an option.

This month, Congress - including Gonzalez's Senators, Marco Rubio (R) and Bill Nelson (D) - has a chance to help. A package of three proposals currently in the Senate would make it easier for underwater homeowners like Jaime to refinance.

With one in three homes, more than 15 million homes altogether, currently worth less than their owners owe, it's a full-blown crisis. These folks are underwater and they are getting socked with sky-high interest rates. They're suffering through sky-high interest rates with no way out and no hope of putting a dent in their debt.

The banks that got us into this mess, meanwhile, are putting up barrier after barrier to keep homeowners like Jaime from refinancing to the now much lower rates. Refinancing could help 11 million Americans stay in their homes by saving them on average $2,500 per year.

It would be a real help for Jaime. He's been trying to refinance his home loan to get a lower interest rate, but the bank hasn't budged. For now, he and millions of other Americans are just getting by. Without Congress' help, how long will that last?

Congress must take action.

Of course, this is just the first step. In the long term, we must fight for widespread relief for homeowners from the burden of unfair debt. This means a swift and thorough investigation into mortgage fraud by banks and lenders responsible for the crisis, as well as large-scale, direct principal reduction to reset loans to fair market value.

But as a first step, this is a vital lifeline for millions. It's the biggest proposal to come out of Congress in a long time. And it has a real chance to pass, even in today's dysfunctional political system. There are those who will block this proposal, and it will be very clear that they are choosing the side of big banks and lenders over everyday Americans.

I sincerely urge Senators Rubio and Nelson - and all those who represent the millions of underwater homeowners in this country - to choose the right side.

Occupy Mendocino had  a great showing at the Mendocino 4th of July. 25 people marching and singing with music pumping out "Occupy is a State of Mind".  With banner in front there were puppets and great signage.  Howard Ennes and Phil Schneider (95 and 93yrs old) were in a car with a young girl and her mom. The slogan on the car was "From 5 to 95, Peace, Justice and Democracy." Many people in the crowd acknowledged and applauded as we marched by. The theme was the 125 anniversary of the Mendocino Fire Dept which was  emblazoned on the sides of the other car.

Subject: [Occupymendocino] Clarification of Senior Center dialogue
Message-ID: <CA+MaVrAAex0NpCeizg_5wUgHvV5Z5kA8Y1oNTfpR55AfSmDU_w@mail.gmail.com>

I was looking forward to clarification of Senior Center status during our
GA meeting this Saturday so this is a little bit of a ramble.........

Is the Senior Center a Community Center which can be used by seniors or a
rental facility?

Is there going to be a policy which prevents use by any political
organization -->> like Mike Thompson's spaghetti feed fundraiser?

Do 'service' groups have a political leaning?  (Republican? for example?)
and should 'they' no longer get to use the Senior Center because their
"community service" or membership/recruitment has a right-wing bias?

Got to last Friday SC board meeting late and did not hear anything which
assured me that OCCUPY Mendocino could go back to meeting at the Senior
Center without paying more than the $20 we had been paying by passing the
hat at our meetings...

****Just got a call from someone asking where we are meeting Saturday?
 Where are we meeting?****

I had assumed we were planning to be at the Library cause I was /not/ at
all clear with the Senior Center issues, but have seen nothing confirming
location of Saturday meeting yet (on our list serve.)

Also heard that an anonymous donor had pledged to pay the OM /Senior Center
rental (potentially $50/meeting) for the short term until Senior Center
policies were clarified.  Did that mean OM /was/ going to meet at the
Senior Center?

So - confirmation for Saturday re: location please AND what 'we' think was
said/decided/offered from Senior Center board re: rental policies at the
Senior Center.  We've already decided our meetings are 1st and 3rd
Saturdays but our choice of meeting space is a little unclear right now
because of this Senior Center kerfuffle.

What I 'saw'/heard was that the Senior Center board members (which voted to
prevent OM and Move to Amend from meeting at the Senior Center) got
'busted' for the blatant discrimination and chose to blame Charles Bush for
their efforts.  Other board members were not in attendance at the meeting
which voted for the exclusion policy and disagreed with that vote.

I was given to understand that the board 'heard' OM but I did not hear any
assurance that OM would be allowed to use the facility for a reasonable
donation (like many other groups have done historically/currently.)

Surely, the point is that OM should not be discriminated against by a
right-leaning Senior Center board majority....  Money aside, the SC
policies need to be fair and equally applied.

We (OM) heard a board member ask us to become more involved with the Senior
Center and that person is correct.  If we don't like what's happening and
being decided then we can OCCUPY the Senior Center board and bring OCCUPY
issues and beliefs to the fore.  Bea Erickson was a fantastic activist;
Gloria Liner (SC board member) was Bea's assistant and mentee - lots of
memory and history.  Shall we turn some focus to Senior Center and keep it
a non-partisan, activist, free speech, community-centric resource??

Let's talk patiently please and thank you

Jessie Lee

Greetings, all,
We had a wonderful showing at the Mendocino 4th of July parade. Thanks  
to the organizers (Sheila, Richard, Agnes, etc.) the sign makers  
(Agnes and company) and the walkers/riders/singers. Check out occupy  
mendocino on Facebook for some photos.

After talking to several Occupy folks, none of us is clear about where  
we'll be meeting this Saturday at 2 p.m.
Therefore, it's been decided, for this meeting only, to meet at the  
Fort Bragg Library.

If you have any questions about this, please come to the library for  
answers.

Cheers,

OCCUPY Friends ??

	Concerning the RCSCenter Board meeting June 29 ?? My personal view is that the Board of the Center got our message and is proceeding in good faith to clarify its policies and fees regarding space use by seniors and community groups and will come up with policies congenial to Occupy and other groups.

	Occupy Mendocino will, I hope, be a presence at future Senior Center Board meetings to underscore the importance of respecting the views of their constituencies.  Note that in September there will be, I understand, an election to fill four vacancies on the Board.
 
	For my part, I am going forward with a 95th birthday brunch as a benefit for the Center on Sunday July 15 at the Senior Center.

Tuesday, 03 July 2012 09:38	 By Bill Zimmerman, Truthout 

A tsunami of citizen activism, initiated by Occupy Wall Street, is poised to wash over American society. The coming battle to correct the  grotesquely unequal distribution of wealth and power in this country is likely to have an even more profound impact on our society than what occurred in the 1960s.

Fifty years ago, a few white students like me were outraged to find that the sugarcoated view of America we had been taught in the 50s did not match reality. The notions of justice and human rights we had internalized motivated our actions, and as idealists, we opposed the Jim Crow laws in the South and the needless killing in Southeast Asia....

We talked about continuing/increasing our activism - send thanks to
Sacramento for the HOBOR (Home Owners Bill of Rights) just passed and ask
Jerry Brown to sign it into law immediately, advocate  (AG Harris) to start
active pursuit of investigation and prosecution of bankers for fraud,  call
on Gov. Brown to enact a financial emergency 3 yr. moratorium on
foreclosures and so forth as encouraged by CJ Holmes at her website.

I think the appetite for criminal prosecution is growing because of the
continuing revelations of US and foreign criminal actions by huge banking
corporations.  Iceland is jailing bankers; England is in the beginning of a
huge LIBOR set of scandals and crimes; look at CHASE in the US.  It's time
for OCCUPY nation-wide to agitate and PUSH for legal action and
consequences.

In Sacramento, Agnes and I got to meet with aides for Chesboro and Evans.

Emily at Chesboro's office was nice but not very encouraging but we feel
that being a squeaky wheel is vital - we know Chesboro is "on our side" but
he is not on committees which are directly involved.  Still we can keep him
informed and on our 'speed dial' to connect iwth OM.

Djibril at Sen. Evans's office was, as I have said, extremely supportive
and encouraging.  He was very serious in urging us (OCCUPY) to keep it up
and step it up because what's being done is working.  He stated that OCCUPY
is why things are moving for people facing foreclosure.

We did make OM a 'face' to Cheboro and Evans offices.

I urge other people to add to this list of reasons for activism, to send
FAXes to all elected representatives and send them often.  Hand written
letters sent by FAX are attention attracting.  If people have no FAX
access, please let's organize for written letters to be gathered and sent
by someone (like me) who has a FAX machine at home.  A lot of us have FAX
capability via computer software (scan in letter then FAX vis computer) but
I will /gladly/ FAX for anyone who wants to write a letter to the electeds.

what else?

Adrienne, since everyone doesn't have Micro$oft Word, how about copying them and just paste into an email. 

In fact, I'd like to suggest that anyone sending anything that does not need to be formatted (such as a poster) send it as an email instead of a .doc, .pages, .rtfd, .cwk, .docs, .dosx etc. We can all read emails but many people on different platforms use a multitude of software for word processing.

MINUTES for July 7th meeting of Occupy
Fort Bragg Library
Susan Nutter, facilitator



Agnes reported on the trip to Sacramento.  There were about 300  
people there.  Other Occupy groups have handouts, why not us?  She  
suggested ways to investigate and act to stop further  foreclosures.
Jesse reported that Mike Thompson?s office has worked to help  
foreclosed people.  Their office seems to be effective. It was  
suggested that we contact his congressional aides when dealing with  
foreclosure issues.
Agnes moved that we fax our congresspersons to change the foreclosure  
laws.  The motion was carried.  Also, fax the Attorney General to  
investigate fraudulent foreclosures.
Jesse  met with Nora Evans? aide, who said ?keep pushing, it?s  
working.?  Jesse pointed out that the governor could issue an  
executive order to stop foreclosures until they are legal.
She urged us to sign the HBOR to Governor Brown.
Howard pointed out that illegal foreclosures are criminal acts, and  
that criminals should be prosecuted.
Agnes agreed that the Attorney General has the power to prosecute.

The 4th of July parade was deemed to be successful, with good energy.  
Our group was well received.  There were some nasty comments, but  
mostly good.

Sheila reported on MCTV Street Fair tapes, and asked for help in  
reviewing them.

Linda said there were very few people at the rally on Friday.

Jesse wondered if there was interest in the Paul Bunyan parade.

Linda reported on the Senior Center Board meeting.  The Board?s  
policy is confused.  Apparently the Center is functioning for the  
?lowest common denominator, e.g., food, knitting, exercise.  Some  
Board members are pro-Occupy.  The Board agreed to clarify their  
policy.  After some discussion, we agreed our next two meetings would  
take place at the Library.
Howard said there will be a Senior Center policy that meets the needs  
of the community.  He added that we are all invited to attend his  
95th birthday party at the Sr Center on the 15th.
Occupy?s presence at the Board meeting was positive.  Four vacancies  
are coming up in September.

Cecile moved that our meetings be scent-free.  This motion was passed.

Facilitator for the next meeting will be Agnes.

Submitted by Adrienne.

Hi Folks,
Thank you Adrienne for taking the meeting minutes.  Please correct the
spelling of my name in the OM GA minutes.

I know it is not a huge deal but...  it bothers me when my name is
misspelled.  Please take this in the manner in which it is presented.  No
anger or snark just information, a request for correction and an 'ask' for
respect.

My name is spelled J-E-S-S-'I'-E   JESSIE with an 'I'.    My name is Jessie
Lee VanSant.  I am named for my paternal grandmother Jessie Milton Jones
VanSant.

Jesse is the male form of the name; Jessie is the female form.  Origin is
Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious'. (ironic for me since I am a paganish
person)

I've always liked my name and appreciate it being spelled properly,
especially in public records and documents of record.  Please spell it
correctly.

Thank you all for 'hearing' me and understanding.

Subject: Gov Brown: Issue Foreclosure Moratorium


SB900, a recently passed Homeowner Bill of Rights law, will not provide these rights and protections to owners until it takes effect on Jan 1, 2013.  

To protect home owners until then, we are calling on the Governor to issue a temporary Foreclosure Moratorium. 

That's why I created a petition to The California State House, The California State Senate, and Governor Jerry Brown, which says:

"Governor Brown, please issue a temporary Foreclosure Moratorium until SB900 takes effect on Jan 1, 2013."

I'm sending the entire column because not everyone has access to the Times or the P.D.
This is a hot idea!  (Emphasis added by me)


http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/10/opinion/nocera-housings-last-chance.html?_r=1&ref=joenocera

Housing?s Last Chance?

There are few counties in America in as rough shape as San Bernardino County in California. During the housing bubble, the good times were very good. But then came the bust.

Today, San Bernardino County has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation: 11.9 percent. Home prices have collapsed. Astonishingly, every second home is underwater, meaning the homeowner owes more on the mortgage than the house is worth. It is well documented that underwater mortgages have a high likelihood of defaulting ? and, eventually, being foreclosed on. It has also been clear for some time that the best way to keep troubled homeowners in their homes is by reducing the principal on their mortgages, thus lowering their debt burden and more closely aligning their mortgage with the actual value of the home.

Which is why Greg Devereaux, the county?s chief executive officer, found himself listening intently when the folks from Mortgage Resolution Partners came knocking on his door. They had spent the previous year kicking around an intriguing idea: have localities buy underwater mortgages using their power of eminent domain ? and then write the homeowner a new, reduced mortgage. It?s principal reduction using a stick instead of a carrot.

I know. When you first hear this idea, it sounds a little crazy. Eminent domain to take a mortgage? But the more closely you look at it, the more sense it starts to make. It would be a way to break the logjam that keeps mortgages in mortgage-backed bonds ? securitizations ? from being modified. It could prevent foreclosures. And it could finally stabilize housing prices.

The core issue that Mortgage Resolution Partners is trying to solve is what might be called the securitization problem. Bundling mortgages into securities and selling them to investors was, initially, a wonderful idea because it greatly expanded the amount of capital available for homeownership. But the people who wound up owning the mortgages ? investors ? were diffuse, often with conflicting interests, while the mortgages were managed by servicers or trustees who didn?t actually own them. And the securitization contracts never anticipated that people might need to modify. So it has been nearly impossible to modify mortgages stuck in securitizations.

It turns out, however, that there is nothing to prevent a government entity from using eminent domain to acquire a mortgage. ?Eminent domain has existed for centuries,? said Robert Hockett, a law professor at Cornell who has served as an adviser to Mortgage Resolution Partners. ?And it is applicable to any kind of property, including a mortgage.? What matters, Hockett continued, is two things: is the entity paying fair value for the property, and is it for a legitimate public purpose?

Can there be any doubt that keeping people in their homes constitutes a legitimate public purpose? ?This is a yoke around the American economy,? said Steven Gluckstern, an entrepreneur with a varied career in insurance and finance who is the chairman of Mortgage Resolution Partners. ?When people are underwater, their behavior changes. They stop spending. There are 12 million homes that are underwater,? he added. ?Is the answer to really just let them get foreclosed on? Or wait for housing prices to rise?? According to Gluckstern, the fact that the foreclosure crisis is continuing is precisely why housing prices aren?t rising ? despite some of the lowest interest rates in history.

As for fair value, since the home has dropped dramatically in value, the mortgage is worth a lot less than its face value. On Wall Street, in fact, traders are buying securitized mortgage bonds at a steep discount ? reflecting the true value of the mortgages they?re buying. Yet the homeowner remains saddled with a mortgage that is unrealistically high. The plan calls for the county to buy mortgages at a steep, but fair, discount to its face value, and then to offer the homeowner a new mortgage that reflects much, though not all, of that discount. (Fees and costs would be paid for by the spread.) The money to buy the mortgages would come from investors; indeed, Mortgage Resolution Partners is in the process of raising money.

The securitization industry is up in arms about this proposal. In late June, after the plan was leaked to Reuters, some 18 organizations, including the Association of Mortgage Investors, wrote a threatening letter to the San Bernardino board of supervisors claiming that the plan would inflict ?significant harm? to homeowners in the county. For his part, Devereaux insists that no final decision has been made. But, he says, ?this is the first idea that anyone has approached us with that has the potential to have a real impact on our economy.? Other cities are watching closely to see what happens in San Bernardino.

We?re four years into a housing crisis. Nothing has yet worked to stem the terrible tide of foreclosures. It?s time to give eminent domain a try.

It's a really good plan and one that my Sonora client was offered.  It has
not been closed as yet but it is being worked on.

"The venerable Bank of America recently sent letters to 60,000 struggling
homeowners with the caveat-ridden generous offer of slicing an average
$150,000 off their loans; the response was - silence."

Here is what is happening with it.

The Mendocino Beacon/Staff

California Department of Parks and Recration (DPR) is going through the permit process to install self-pay parking stations at seven State Parks locations in Mendocino County.

Approval for pay station signs for the Mendocino Headlands was sought at the July 2 meeting of the Mendocino Historical Review Board.

Chair Joe Odegard asked if the iron ranger could be made out of something other than steel it is currently constructed from, but once it was discovered the steel post was already installed, the discussion shifted to potentially covering it in wood to soften the look.

A member from the public asked if they just park to see the sunset, would they have to pay?

Sector Superintendent Loren Rex said yes, but the fee is for use of the parking lot, if someone walks in or rides their bike there will be no fee.

"I believe one of the only ways we are going to keep the State Park system is getting people to pay to support the system," said one lady in the crowd who stated she works for State Parks. "It is incumbent of us who enjoy the State Parks to help pay for it. I think we have some of the most beautiful parks in the state."

Board member Beth Perrell said she could not support approval of the posts and signs as they are.

"I feel very strongly that the proposed work is not in harmony and character in town," Perrell said.

The permit was continued to August's meeting with the request that Rex come back with graphics of the proposed signs in place and with proposed skirting material for the iron ranger post.

Eleven new pay stations

? Three at MacKerricher: The parking area just north of Pudding Creek Trestle, called Silvergate parking lot, Laguna Point and Lake Cleone parking lots. Ward Avenue and Pudding Creek Trestle (just south of the trestle) parking will remain free.

? Jug Handle State Nature Reserve parking

? The three lots at the Mendocino Headlands

? Big River Beach parking

? Van Damme Beach parking

? Greenwood Beach parking

? And Montgomery Woods parking

As the fee stations are going through the review process, a fee has not yet been established.

Day use fees at other parks is $8.

There is also a self-pay station at Manchester Beach parking, at Kinney Road, and at Navarro Beach; neither have been implemented yet.

Two self-pay stations have been installed at the upper parking lot at Point Cabrillo Historic Lighthouse, but after discussing with the Point Cabrillo Light Keepers Association, which receives most of its funding to operate the park from donations, State Parks decided to hold off using those two stations at this time.

Editors note: The rest of the MHRB report will be in next week's edition.

Occupy Mendocino How about raising taxes on the rich to get out of this budget crisis. It would be more appropriate to have a donation basis. If a person stops by for 5 minutes, $8 is way too much.

This really makes sense.  This is something to fight for. rk
Carl Gibson, Reader Supported News 
Gibson writes: "The concept of a maximum wage is in the style of Huey Long's 'Share the Wealth' radio addresses from the Great Depression. It won't make rich Americans poor, nor will it call for an equal distribution of wealth. A maximum wage would simply be legislation that states an executive shouldn't make more than 10 times what their average worker makes. A CEO can still make $5 million dollars a year if they wish. It just means their average worker has to make at least $500,000 a year."

While Fighting Foreclosure committee was working to get Fort Bragg City to
declare a Foreclosure Prevention Zone it was discovered that City of Fort
Bragg banks with Wells Fargo!!!!   Approx $7 million of city $ that is in
control of a corporate, very, very bad actor bank - it's really awful all
'round.

We created a petition for moving the city money which was very lightly
circulated at the Street Fair and shortly after - we have it in our
possession and have a few signatures.... but got distracted......

City of FB gets perks from Wells Fargo account like the printing and
mailing of the city WATER BILLS.  Some research was done to see about
replacing those (and any other perks) with local vendors - we can bring
that info back to light.

Getting the city to move it's money to Savings Bank of Mendocino County or
one of the local credit unions is a natural step and a natural focus for
OCCUPY Mendocino.

Whaddya think??

Why Are Working People Invisible in the Mainstream Media?
Amy Dean, Truthout: "I spoke with [Barbara] Ehrenreich about this crisis of economic insecurity, about the invisibility of working people in the mainstream media and about the current state of journalism. That working people are chronically underrepresented in the media - even in times of economic downturn - is a sad reality readily apparent to anyone who has surveyed the American news landscape. Given this, I asked Ehrenreich if she thought this problem has been a constant, or if has it gotten worse in recent years."

all Street banks have hollowed out our communities with fraudulently sold mortgages and illegal foreclosures and settled the crimes for pennies on the dollar. They've set back property records to the early 1900s, skipping the recording of deeds in county registry offices and using their own front called MERS. They lobbied to kill fixed pension plans and then shaved a decade of growth off our 401(K)s with exorbitant fees, rigged research and trading for the house.

      Subject: Warren asked Geithner repeatedly about HAMP. After several evasions, Geithner said about the banks, ?We estimate that they can handle ten million foreclosures, over time? this program will help foam the runway for them.?


            FDL
            Barofsky Book: Geithner Confirmed in 2009 That HAMP Was Designed for Banks to Spread Out Foreclosures 
            By: David Dayen Friday July 20, 2012 6:26 am 



      The Huffington Post described a scene in a forthcoming book by Neil Barofsky, the former Special Inspector General of TARP, where Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner delivered a string of F-bombs during a discussion about transparency. I?ve read the book, and while that?s an amusing diversion, it?s nowhere near the headline story.

      The important moment in the book for me comes conveniently after Barofsky recounts this FDL News item, one of my HAMP horror stories. Barofsky shows how HAMP?s faulty design led to all sorts of problems like this, with trapped borrowers, extended trial payments, no-doc modifications, and eventually unnecessary foreclosures. Barofsky mused that Treasury didn?t care about the suffering of borrowers under HAMP, and the issue came up in a meeting with the Treasury Secretary, which was also attended by Elizabeth Warren, then the head of the Congressional Oversight Panel, another TARP watchdog.

      Warren asked Geithner repeatedly about HAMP. After several evasions, Geithner said about the banks, ?We estimate that they can handle ten million foreclosures, over time? this program will help foam the runway for them.?

      This is a revelatory moment for Barofsky in the book, and should be for everyone reading. Geithner?s concern, first of all, was with how the banks would respond to the program, not how homeowners would respond to it. In fact, homeowners are quite besides the point. Regardless of their situation, they will be one of the 10 million foreclosures, in Geithner?s construction. His goal was merely to space out the foreclosures and give the banks time to earn their way back to health, mostly through the other parts of the bailout, that enabled them to earn profits.

      This is a classic ?extend and pretend? scheme; banks can extend the time frame for their losses, and pretend they were financially strong in the meantime. We previously had evidence that Geithner and the Treasury Department thought this way. In August 2010, a Treasury official (which Barofsky outs in the book as Geithner) made basically the same defense of HAMP, that it would give time for the banks to absorb foreclosures rather than have them come on the market all at once. But that came as a defense of the program after the fact. This scene with Warren and Barofsky came in mid-2009, when the program was in its infancy. And it?s prospective, not retrospective. It?s not that Treasury came up with a justification after the performance of HAMP faltered. It?s that it was designed this way.

      As Barofsky says, HAMP was not separate from the bailouts, it was part of them. It squeezed a few extra payments out of borrowers and then allowed banks to do with them whatever they wanted. It stretched out the foreclosure crisis, by design. In fact, by the end of this, HAMP may not help even the borrowers secure in permanent modifications. Not only are the modifications of inferior quality, and not only have they led to high re-default rates already, but most of the permanent modifications are not permanent at all. Barofsky notes in the book that they have five-year time limits, with interest rates rising and payments returning to their original size at that time. So in 2014 and 2015, we?re going to see hundreds of thousands of recasts, like on an adjustable-rate mortgage. Maybe the borrowers will have righted their financial ships by then, or saved up enough to move on. But the more logical scenario is for more defaults at that time. But by then, the banks will have built their fortress balance sheets (with lots of government help) and won?t mind another half a million foreclosures.

      This confirmation of the design of HAMP is just one of the many revelatory moments in a book from a man thrust into the position of a Washington insider, willing to tell the tale. It?s well worth your time when it goes on sale next week.

      I have attempted to contact Elizabeth Warren to corroborate this meeting, and will let you know if I hear back.

      UPDATE: Yves Smith has a preview of the book as well.



      -- 



      And how many times can a man turn his head,
      and pretend that he just doesn't see?


      And how many ears must one man have,
      before he can hear people cry ?


      And how many deaths will it take till we know,
      that too many people have died?


      The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
      the answer is blowing in the wind.

Yesterday, July 24, there was an SEIU demonstration in the triangle of  
cement at Highways 1 and 20 at around 3 p.m. They were demonstrating  
around issues of justice in the workplace. Today I emailed Lathe Gill,  
SEIU field rep for this area, saying our groups should be supporting  
one another around issues of justice.

Anyone know anything about this demo?

Linda

During a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, Sanders put it this way: "What the Supreme Court did in Citizens United is to say to these same billionaires and the corporations they control: 'You own and control the economy; you own Wall Street; you own the coal companies; you own the oil companies. Now, for a very small percentage of your wealth, we're going to give you the opportunity to own the United States government.'

                  Dear Agnes,

                   Keystone XL is back.

                  TransCanada, the energy giant trying to bisect the United States with a reckless tar-sands pipeline, has submitted a new application to build Keystone XL.

                  We need you to take action by Monday to reject Keystone XL 2.0.

                  TransCanada rerouted the pipeline through Nebraska, but the new routes come with the same kind of dangerous consequences: dozens of projected spills and leaks, staggering greenhouse gas emissions and threats to rare species like whooping cranes, piping plovers and American burying beetles.

                  After massive public outcry, President Obama rightly rejected Keystone XL in January.

                  It?s time again to make sure this disastrous project doesn?t get off the ground.

                  The first deadline for comments on the construction permit is this Monday, July 30 -- please, take action to tell the State Department that Keystone XL should get scrapped permanently.

*Reply-To: *discussion at lists.mcn.org

The Ralph M. Brown Act is a law, passed by the California Legislature in
1953, requiring that local governments conduct meetings openly, accessibly
(with due notice) and guarantees public participation at meetings. As part
of his budget, passed by the Legislature, our current Gov. Brown suspended
parts of the Brown Act as a cost saving measure - the costs being the
preparation and publishing of meeting agendas and closed session results,
since these costs could be billed back to the state.  Many local
governments either did not bill the state for reimbursement, or were never
reimbursed anyway, so the matter is moot.  It's another whittling away at
our democracy, that most won't care about or notice.

"Last month, the Legislature agreed to suspend for three years a
requirement that local governments post agendas 72 hours in advance of
meetings. Also suspended was the requirement to make public actions taken
by government agencies in closed sessions, which are permitted in
discussions of lawsuits and some personnel matters." -
Ramonoa Sentinel -
http://www.ramonasentinel.com/2012/07/24/supervisors-poised-to-affirm-allegiance-to-open-meeting-law/

Some local governments are volutarily complying with the Brown Act anyway,
as the above article indicates.

In our recent lawsuit against the MLPA, we attmpted to hold the
"public-private partnership" accountable under the Bagley-Keene Open
Meeting  Act - which is almost identical to the Ralph M. Brown Act - except
it applies to California State government meetings, instead of local city
councils, board of supervisors, etc.

Unfortunately, the MLPAI and their high powered attorneys were able to
wiggle out of responsibility to abide by open meeting law, on legal
technicalities, although they falsely claimed that their process was "open
and transparent."  An absolute lie, as it turns out.  They claimed after
the fact that not only was the 45-member staff of the MLPA "Initiative" not
any sort of legal group or entity, but the whole "North Coast Regional
Stakeholder Group" was not "officially a state body" since it hadn't been
created by an act of the Legislature.  Instead the group was allegedly
appointed by private interests, and so not subject to state law, according
to the crooks of the MLPAI.  This despite the fact that the NCRSG's
recommendations were almost universally supported by all local and state
agencies, councils, boards and commissions, and their plan is to be adopted
into state law in the very near future.

It's all part of your democracy vanishing, little by little, so that before
long the public won't even have a timed 2-3 minutes with which to bore our
policy makers.

I've seen some articles about another dimension of this issue I hadn't

thought of. It appears some local governments have been charging the

state

an amazing amount of money to comply with Brown Act requirements such as

posting agendas under the notion that the state's Brown Act imposes

mandates

on local governments so the state should pay the cost.


Is that true?

trusting that you will still put forth a resolution in support of

upholding

the Brown Act?

Message-ID: <95597952-B73B-4485-B8DC-1F08F7509A75@att.net>

I had a nice chat yesterday with Linda Ruffing at the Starr Center opening. She said she had drafted a letter to me and would send it out this week. She has been very pre-occupied with the Center's opening. Of note: only working capital to write checks etc. is in Wells, the rest is in a multi county fund similar to Calpers. 

I asked why renters pay more for a water acct. with the city when I paid my bill at City Hall. Renters are more mobile and can skip out easier leaving unpaid utility bills. Home owners can have a lien placed against their property for unpaid bills.

Hope these answers help.

> The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously yesterday to place a Citizens Advisory Measure to End Corporate Rule and Defend Democracy on the November 2012 ballot for Mendocino County.  The measure asks voters if our elected representatives should be instructed to enact resolutions and legislation calling for an amendment to the United States Constitution to establish that only human beings and not corporations are endowed with constitutional rights, and money does not constitute speech and therefore political spending can be regulated.  The Board of Supervisors action was sponsored by Fifth District Supervisor Dan Hamburg.
> 
> Beginning in March and finishing in June, about eighty volunteers from the Move to Amend Coalition of Mendocino County collected 5661 signatures from county voters to put the measure on the ballot.  Elections official, County Clerk Sue Ranochak, certified that the group had collected enough valid signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.  ?I applaud the work the organization has done going out to the shopping centers and gathering places and educating people one to one,? said Hamburg.
> 
> To date, eleven other towns and counties nationwide have passed ballot measures calling for a Constitutional Amendment and twenty more are in progress.  More than 128 town and county councils have passed resolutions calling for a Constitutional Amendment to End Corporate Personhood including Mendocino County towns Pt. Arena and Ft. Bragg as well as major cities such as Los Angeles and New York.
> 
> ?Corporate personhood ? commonly refers to Supreme Court rulings that a corporation, a fictional ?person? for legal purposes, has the same inherent Constitutional rights as a human being.  The most recent example is the ruling in the Citizens United vs. Fair Elections Commission case of January 2010 in which the Court held that campaign contributions constitute free speech and cannot be regulated, thus overturning the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.  That ruling has proved to be controversial and has spurred a number of calls to reverse it by amending the Constitution.  Previous rulings have overturned food labeling laws and worker and consumer safety laws, among others.
> 
> Move to Amend is a national grassroots organization formed to raise awareness of the problem of ?corporate personhood? and mobilize a political movement to bring about a Constitutional Amendment firmly establishing that a corporation or other artificial entity is not a person with constitutional rights and political spending is not free speech and can be regulated.  The organization has grown to include over 100 local affiliates since its formation in January 2010. 
> 
>  Move to Amend Ukiah and Move to Amend Ft. Bragg have formed the Move to Amend Coalition of Mendocino County to campaign for the Citizens Advisory to End Corporate Rule and Defend Democracy which will be on the November Mendocino County ballot.

Just in case you don't get these emails...

Remember Ed DeMarco, the acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which regulates the government mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? He's back in the news.

DeMarco is the Bush appointee who has been dragging his heels and blocking Fannie and Freddie from engaging in targeted principal reductions (resetting home loans to fair market value) for struggling, underwater homeowners on the grounds that it would cost the taxpayers too much.

Today, two things happened. First, FHFA produced a study that said principal reductions would actually save taxpayers more than a billion dollars. And then DeMarco announced that he still wouldn't allow any principal reductions!1


Share now: "Tell President Obama: If DeMarco won't change his mind, he needs to change jobs. Fire him today!"

Almost 90,000 of you have already called for DeMarco to be fired. And President Obama is listening -- his administration has pushed DeMarco to drop his opposition and offered the Treasury Department's help to Fannie and Freddie in making it all work. Today, Secretary Geithner even released a letter challenging DeMarco's logic and calling on him to change his mind.2

It's important to know we've got allies in the White House. But while homeowners are still struggling to hang on to the homes where they've built lives and lasting memories... it's just not enough. DeMarco needs to go.

DeMarco is now officially out of arguments. Principal reductions are the most direct way of helping people whose home values plummeted after the banks crashed the economy, but are left owing those same banks thousands more than their homes are worth. They would save taxpayers money by preventing losses from default and foreclosure. The program is already designed to weed out people who don't really need help -- in fact, the bigger problem is that it's not broad enough!

And most importantly, this would keep families from losing their homes! This is nothing more than callous, cold-hearted opposition to something that would help millions of real people instead of banks.

Make sure your friends know what's going on. Click here to share.

This fight over homeowners is the epicenter of the huge debate going on in our nation today. At question is whether our government works for big banks, or for the middle class... and we need our leaders to pick the right side.
