Don’t be counting your Booty yet, Mr. McCleary

It has been reported to us from the highest and most reliable sources that RSG’s Matt McCleary on Tuesday June 12th told the City Council that The State has “Approved” the cities request for appeal and that they have been given the go ahead to continue with “Project Phoenix.”

We are hereby Calling Bull Shit.

This the email sent to us June 15th with attachments that states no such agreement has been made and that the appeal is still under consideration.

Dear Mr. O’Brien,

The Department of Finance (Finance) received the following request dated June 14, 2012. Your request seeks an electronic copy of the appeal your city made to Finance’s deficiency letter dated April 27, 2012; specifically an appeal dated after May 9, 2012, and Finance’s response to the appeal.  To date, Finance has not replied to the appeal, but the appeal is attached for your review.

Since Finance does not hold Public Records Act requests open, you will need to submit another request at a later date if you are interested in receiving Finance’s response to the appeal letter.

Sincerely,

Jeanna Wimberly | Training and Administrative Officer | California Department of Finance | office: 916.445.3274 Extension 3061 |  916.323.0488
A PDF of the most recent Correspondence
You need to open up that above PDF file and read what it says…… No way can McCleary state that the state has told them they will review the request but at their time table. Now remember this was sent to the State on the very day of the Council Meeting:
The State Department Of Finance (DoF) sent a letter to the City answering the May 24 Letter in the Twentynine Palms May26 ROPS Approval letter . Then on Tuesday June 12 McCleary send another email appeal. Not only did 3 days not pass but Mr. McCleary stood before the Council but it would have been the 7th appeal to the DoF. We received our response on the June 15th, calculated as two business days after the mailing.
Either Matt McCleary is not forthright with the Council on the timeline or his misstatement of the facts must be due to some error caused by the emotional hysteria of local governments loosing their lucky charm pot of gold.

One thought on “Don’t be counting your Booty yet, Mr. McCleary

  1. Just who does McCleary think he is sending out emails to the State and of course leaving the Council out saying that the State has not responded to his and Warne’s BS that it is deemed approved by himself. Haaahaaaahaaaa.
