Default Alleged Migrant Workers Denied 12 Million In Redevelopment Money

http://www.sacbee.com/2012/05/19/450...e-migrant.html

From the "It's finally affecting the freeloaders" file.

We've all probably heard about this so called "migrant" encampment on tribal land in Riverside county by now, but for those who haven't, it was sold as a story about migrant farmworkers moved to tribal land at the benevolence of an indian tribe. The workers lived in less than admirable buildings, so they county used redevelopment money to rebuild their homes. Imagine that...Indians getting redevelopment money from California taxpayers to build permanent homes for temporary workers. That is what "migrants" are supposed to be, eh? Migrating to work?

But anyway, the redevelopment funds are gone now, siezed by the state to pay its' own bills, and the indians are bawling because they aren't going to get the 12 million to upgrade their property so they can rent it out to likely illegals. You gotta love the numers here. Read the article and notice how many people they have to cram into the amount of units they were to build with tax money.

California has rescinded redevelopment funding that Riverside County officials had long planned to use for the purchase of 181 new mobile homes in a new area for the remaining 1,500 residents who live without paved streets or hot water in Desert Mobile Home Park, more commonly called Duroville, the Desert Sun and Riverside Press-Enterprise reported.

Yes, they're starting to eat each other. This is just the beginning. That redevelopment money was a huge slush fund that greased a lot of hands.

Duro didn't found a trailer slum out of the kindness of his heart, the Duros have quite a history behind them, not all that nice - no benevolence here. They are from other reservations farther west and cooled their heels in the Coachella Valley - they likely had nowhere else to go. The casino Indians might have moved from one reservation to another following the casino money, but I don't believe the Duros are welcome at any reservation besides Torres-Martinez.

["Duro, former chairman of the Torres Martinez tribe, has consistently complained that he was singled out for harsh treatment even though there are four other large trailer parks on the reservation, some older than his".]

I don't think the Torres-Martinez reservation has a casino, I think there was some talk of building a small one. I believe they still live in shacks and old trailers themselves.

It would cost $4.2 million to fix the trailer park, but the idea is to move them off the reservation and away from the Duro's truly terrible slum.

The county plan is to complete a $6.5 million trailer park and buying trailers at $65,000 each. The rent would be not much more than $275.00 per month, and other costs will be less.

To everyone but the taxpayers - farmers will still get their bottom basement labor on the backs of the taxpayers.
