Murrieta City Councilman Accused of Ethics Violations, and Extortion

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Apparently, the woes of the Good Ol' Boys Club in Murrieta has not come to an end after Mayor Alan Long's DUI Injury Accident, and resignation.  According to Andy Domenigoni, owner of The Triangle, a three-sided section of land bordering the Interstate 215 and Interstate 15 interchange, at Murrieta Hot Springs Road, Councilmembers Alan Long, Rick Gibbs, and Kelly Bennett (who has already stepped down, as well), extorted Mr. Domenigoni regarding the development of his piece of land, only allowing the project to move forward if their personal expectations were reached.  The accusation by Mr. Domenigoni was filmed as he spoke to the Murrieta City Council in the City Council Chambers just a few days ago.

To pour a little more salt on Rick Gibbs' sputtering campaign for reelection, an accusation that Rick Gibbs has committed ethics violations has also emerged.

According to the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), a state body of bi-partisan members tasked with overseeing the election process throughout the State of California, in their code of ethics the FPPC does not allow persons to use agency "equipment, supplies, or staff time for political purposes", such as to promote the passage of, or defeat of, ballot measures.  Yet, as a councilman, during a Murrieta City Council Meeting, Councilman Rick Gibbs used the meeting to promote local ballot measures, specifically Measure BB, a local school measure.

Measure BB includes a property tax increase, that Mr. Gibbs was promoting during a City Council Meeting, in an attempt to sugar-coat the reality of what the bond entails, in the hopes of helping it pass on Election Day.

In his discussion, Rick Gibbs tried to assure attendees, and those that would later view the video, that Murrieta would not waste the bond money on things like I-Pads for the students. . . Ignoring the power the people behind Common Core has where they are dictating to cities how the property tax money is spent in regards to education.

As for the ethics violations, it is apparent that Councilman Rick Gibbs believes he is above the FPCC's ethics laws, and does not need to abide by them.

You can see Rick Gibbs' violations on YouTube.

So, as Rick Gibbs, and his Good Ol' Boy minions, send out attacks against people like candidates Jon Ingram and Diana Serafin, it turns out that it is actually Gibbs, Long, and their minion Ruthanne Taylor-Berger (who is also a WRCOG plant), that is the problem - on many levels.

One quick note: Notice the language on the WRCOG Website about sustainability, the same language used by the United Nations Agenda 21 land grab based on the tyrannical concept of "Sustainable Development."  All three, Long, Gibbs, and Taylor-Berger support WRCOG, and so in turn are unwilling to stand in the way of the Riverside Conservation Authority's land grabs throughout the region, including the targeting of Los Alamos Hills, and the Jefferson Corridor.  The RCA and WRCOG are working together to take away the land of citizens in the name of conservation and "sustainable development."
