Watch those amendments or ballot measures

One thing about the California Forever people is that they were just taking advantage of the inflated need for housing and safety by taking away farmland from distressed farmers. The thing is that they could do it legally.

You see, Travis AFB is part of the Bureau of Land Management because of the large swaths of land the government was utilizing had to be sold and that land was sold to the Solano County that sold it to farmers who sold it unknowingly to a corporation trying to build a city. 

The Bureau of Land Management did the same thing in Monterey County. After NOAA dismantled a monitoring station that went into the Bureau's oversight and was sold at Government auction. 

You see its perfectly legal if you are not paying attention. Every sale and every transaction is published and there are local environmental and surveys done and it even posted for public comment. 

But what happens is its a little too late after the sale that the people complain but, if you pay attention now or you had 10 years ago. 

Its the investigative journals that exposed the funders behind California Forever and its local residents and county members who admitted to being approached by a private entity to make a city. 

Now, California Forever just has some nice land. What I don't understand is there is about 10 cities for sale for a lot less money than what was purchased. 

Campo California is for sale for $6million dollars. Nipton, CA is for a mere $3Million Cerdo Gordo, CA just over $1.5 Million. 

So, what does this have to do with measures, amendments, and the like on the November Ballot. Just like adding a property tax to pay for schools, Commissions, Counties and more put measures and amendments on the ballot to get something for a steal. Do you need a new property tax for a former property tax that is finally sunsetting - did the school get built? 

Do you need a vehicle use tax or gas tax or transit measure for a train station that hasn't even broken ground? 

While you look at the top of the ticket look at the measures and proposals at the bottom of the ballot too.
