Kathy Lund, Rocklin City Council

Thanks in part to Kathy Lund, Rocklin has been overdeveloped at the taxpayers expense. Thanks to the current City Council, developers get amenities paid for by taxpayers that they can then turn around, and with the City's and Chamber of Commerce's help, market to prospective buyers from Southern California and the Bay Area. I am not against developers, just against them buying my government.

It is important to understand that when you donate to a campaign, the money may not go to the candidate, but instead through the candidate to a charity or to another political campaign. Giving the campaign money to very specific charities is also a political tactic often designed to win over specific voters. Your understanding of these tactics will give you a better idea of what a candidate is all about. You will see examples of this in this report.

After a "cabal" member is elected, numerous subtle events occur insuring his reelection by the uninformed. Council meetings tend to host a plethora of awards to residents for their so-called contributions to the City. Boy Scouts of America are invited to lead in "The Pledge of Allegiance." This is all in hopes of getting votes from them and their parents. It's all about money and power for the "cabal' and seldom for the benefit of the community. Right now, Rocklin is in trouble financially for spending too much money that went way beyond basic city services such as fire, police and roads. In the end, we are to blame for electing folks like Kathy Lund to the City Council. Our financial mess is not an accident. This can end if we the people learn to "stand tall."

About this Report
This report is designed to save you the time of driving down to City Hall to look at Kathy's 460 statements on your own. There is more coming for the current election. Research can be done to follow up on Kathy's own career and investments as well as those of his major contributors. You'll will find their names repeated whenever a "cabal" member is running for office. Collectively, they have all but destroyed the City of Rocklin, both financially and as a community.

Disturbing Article
In the Placer Herald article entitled Ear-Marks are not all bad, just play by the rules, we see how politicians justify pushing their ethical boundaries. First, lets understand that government takes a lot of money from taxpayers, by borrowing or by printing it. Taxpayers may get some back in the form of "pork" if they do what the Federal government tells them to. Hence the rules Kathy is referring to. Kathy cites the I-80 project money, local pork obtained by John Doolittle. This money would go to expand the highway so that she, her company, and her developer friends can then do more construction and development. Then the traffic and smog would be back in a vengeance while Kathy and her developer friends make money. Of course this is not in her article. She goes on to promote Doug Ose, who is a developer to the nth degree. The reason that she says we need these improvements is because she and her cabal approved Rocklin's over-development at the tax payers expense. She thinks that since the feds have the money anyway, it's only proper for Rocklin to take its share of the stolen loot. She and her "cabal" sets up a marketplace for stolen loot. That is what she and the "cabal" do. In the end it makes them money, too. No Kathy. All "pork" is bad. It is destroying the country and you are personally a big part of our national debt charged to our children. Your government is bankrupt. The sooner you learn that, the better council member you'll become. In short Doolittle won us 72 million that the US Government didn't have to spend and now. The final phase of the so-called project has no funding. Kathy, like city council folks all over the country, want us to beg steal and borrow to get that money. Congressmen like Doug Ose have all but ruined America. Again, it is inevitably up to "we the people." Until we practice responsible and ethical standards of living, we cannot expect our representatives to be any better and folks like Kathy Lund will rationalize that two wrongs do make a right.

Michael Patrick Murphy's Conclusion:
Kathy Lund is a direct result of a lazy, uninformed and irresponsible population. Being endorsed by the "cabal" is not a good thing for voters. You must look at the contributors and what Kathy had done once he was in office. I

Doug Ose IS a developer! Kathy has also used his non-partisan office title to endorse Ose and other partisan candidates as part of the quid pro quo cabal centered in Placer County. She has a huge conflict of interest as she writes articles supporting Doug Ose, the developer. Placer County and its Cities are now in deep fiscal trouble thanks to its incumbent office holders. That's why it is constantly seeking tax increases of all kinds and that's why we have more homes available than demand. Rocklin needs responsible government with a much better city council. This starts with constituents becoming more informed and responsible. We need independent non-partisan responsible candidates running for City Council that are not affiliated with the cabal and refuse to take the money from developers and other special interests.
