City Council Video on Certificate of Occupancy

Please click onto the title of this post for the video of the City Council meeting concerning C of O.. You can "jump to" resolutions 16,18, 19, and 27.

When you see the video of #27 You will ask yourself what has changed regarding the attack on affordable housing by the City. They still allow people to dump a bunch of money into a place. The owner finds out, well pal it wasn't good enough, you have to fix this and that too. Then, Oh, gee we overlooked the foundation the first time. Tear it down! You seen this, and all the lies and skull dugrey over the 14 E.Jessamine issue, unfold before our very eyes publicly. Even going as far as to hear from Councilman Helgen "GOOD NEWS 14 E. JESSAMINE DEMOLISHED'!

CODE ENFORCEMENT HELPED SEND MY FRIENDS TO THE GRAVE

I just learned through my investigations of the Racketeering Lawsuits that my friends Rita Rodriguez and Gary Tanzer are dead. Probably all over this code enforcement stuff. I hadn't kept in touch with Rita and Gary because I was a bit of a pain in their life years ago.

As I have said many times publically in the past I was a troubled youth. In the early 70's I moved from the farm to the Cities to my mothers and step fathers home. My mother and step father were very abusive physically and emotionally to me. Rita was a school teacher at Saint Francis. Her son Dave who is also deceased was a friend of mine. That's how I met Rita. I ran away from home and Rita gave me shelter on and off for 2 years to keep me off the street.

Gary her boyfriend (my friend) was almost 30 years younger than Rita. Their love for one another is what romance novels are made of. Gary had never been with another woman in all the years I knew them.They were 2 peas in a pod. Inseparable.

Rita was ill and code enforcement came down on her. She died shortly after code enforcement started pursuing her. I can only imagine her death was to much for Gary to bare. And on top of her death the threat to the home they shared all those years of loving tenderness to each other was to much for Gary to bare. After Ritas death code enforcement pursued Gary to fix the house. He committed suicide.

Gary was a gentle giant of a man.He was compassionate and caring of people.

I did see Rita 3 years ago near Crosby Park while walking my dog. I apologised to her then for being a pain in her life when I was a kid, and she gracefully accepted my apology. If only I knew they were in trouble.

I am posting an excerpt from a deposition concerning this issue in the comment section. I am so upset I can't keep my eyes dry...

RACKETEERING HEARING NOTICE

Racketeering lawsuits against the City of Saint Paul.

Links to the suits can be found in the link section to the right of the screen.

HEARING NOTICE

There will be a hearing in Federal Court to determine if the Plaintiffs in the Federal Lawsuit against the City of St. Paul will be allowed to take the Depositions of some of the City Council. Currently there is a protective order preventing these testimonies.

After taking many Depositions already, the City's own employees have testified under oath that these lawsuits against the City have merit.

The City of St. Paul has brought this court action in an attempt to help the City Council members and some of their employees to hide behind the court because they will feel annoyed and harassed.

We would like all of you to try and attend this hearing in the hopes that if the court sees that there are people from the community interested in this case and watching, then the court will be more likely to order the council members to submit to a Deposition and less likely to do something political.

We need to stop these cities from their illegal actions against landlords, and we need your help to do it. NHPI is right now in the process of "ramping up" their "Problem Property Unit" from 1 inspector to 5 inspectors. This coming summer is going to be hell for property owners. Minneapolis has just put together a "Problem Property Unit" that is similar to St. Pauls.

Please help us and come to the hearing next Monday January 22, 2007 at 1:30 P.M. in the afternoon.

City Attempts To Block Testimony In Racketeering Lawsuits

Hi All,

The SAGA of the Racketeering lawsuits against the City of Saint Paul continues.

The Racketeering depositions have been going on for some time now. Code Enforcement Officers have been for the most part coming in and telling the truth.
Even going as far as to say the Racketeering Lawsuits against the City have merit.

The people higher up on the ladder seem to be playing DUMB.. That shouldn't surprise anyone the policies that brought about the Racketeering lawsuits are DUMB. It seems they are working to set up the people on the bottom to take the fall.

I have been looking into the up coming hearing for the Protective Order.The City doesn't want some people deposed because they claim it is just a method of harrassment. NON-SENSE, they really don't want these people deposed because the depositions will only drive their case further into the ABYSS!

I have posted the Plaintiffs response to this Protective Order in the comment section of this post.
