Commerce City Administrator Edgar Cisnero's $41 Million Chino Hills Land Speculation Scheme Exposed

The new Commerce City Council Majority (and its Puppet Master City Administrator Edgar Cisneros) are the self-inflicted recipient of another ethical Black Eye as Open Space Advocates condemn their (and the unscrupulous San Gabriel Valley Water & Power LLC), secretive scheme to purchase the Tres Hermanos Ranch in the Chino Hills.  

The prized Open Space of the Tres Hermanos Ranch in Chino Hills.

** Blogger's Notes: Its apparent that the City of Commerce has some spare change available ($41 Million-plus) to help land speculators (of ill-repute) in need, but the details must remain in Closed Section ........, until now. 

Since the 2017 Election of the current incarnation of the Commerce City Council, its reigning majority of Councilperson Oralia Rebollo, John Soria and Ivan Altamirano, with their chosen City Administrator Edgar Cisneros, have jointly been responsible for numerous Ethical Black Eyes (involving Pay to Play Municipal Contracts Giveaways to Campaign Donors). 

With legal enabling via the notorious Glassman Law Firm, City Administrator Cisneros has made a mockery of Openness and Transparency in a supposed Model Municipality, via his secretive dealings with the likes of Louis Reyes, Mario Beltran, and the Hews Media Group .........., which explains the embargo of negative reporting on the current affairs at 2535 Commerce Way.

But what is accepted political behavior among Administrator Cisneros and his three political stooges within City Hall confines, is cause for condemnation (and pending legal action as pictured below), when attempted beyond city limits .........., with newest questionable associate William Barkett.

Barkett is the front-person for the unknown "San Gabriel Valley Water and Power LLC", who was partnered with the previous ethically-challenged leadership of the City of Industry, in seeking to develop its Tres Hermanos Ranch Redevelopment Property, into a gigantic Solar Farm, a scheme now repudiated (in favor of Open Space Preservation), by Industry's current leadership, at a supposed cost of $20 Million Dollars ........, alleged pocketed by Burkett's Firm.

It would seem that Burkett would be now a nefarious Land Speculator without a Publicly-financed Enrichment Scheme, as the tri-municipalities of Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and Industry worked together to make the preservation of Tres Hermanos a much-desired reality, but thanks to Burkett's new associate, Administrator Cisnero's "Backroom Proclivities" ........., a new litigious controversy is pending in the Model City, again. To be continue----Scott Johnson.
