Project Homekey Defaults On Government Loans

Posted on by

Remember when Homekey tried to seize the Monarch Resort? Glad P.G. never got mixed up with that.

So the state gives money to developers to convert motels to housing. The housing is built for the ‘homeless’. If the homeless cannot afford California’s high rents, who pays the rent? Then where do all the newly arrived ‘homeless’ people go since they heard there are free homes in California?

 

The state attorney general Monday took legal action against Southern California developer Shangri-La Industries for alleged violations related to seven homeless housing projects in the state — including four in Monterey County. The lawsuit also names as defendants Salinas and King City, which had agreements with the company to convert motels into permanent housing for the indigent, Between 2020 and 2022, Los Angeles for-profit developer Shangri-La received more than $114 million in state funds from the Department of Housing and Community Development — as part of the agency’s Project Homekey program.

Wheres My Tax Refund

A former Pacific Grove man who purchased more than $360,000 in new vehicles and gold bars after filing bogus tax returns and receiving nearly $900,000 in tax “refunds” admitted to the crimes in federal court last week and faces up to a decade in prison when he’s sentenced in April, according to prosecutors. On Jan. 4, Richard Jason Mountford, 44, pleaded guilty to conspiring to file false claims against the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of California.

From 2016 to 2020, Mountford conspired with another person — who prosecutors do not identify — to submit false income tax returns claiming refunds to which they were not entitled, according to prosecutors.

Another Rubbish Roundabout Roust

Posted on by

For Congress, Cedar, and Sunset. Admittedly not my favorite 5 way stop. I forget all right of way rules I learned and just go when it looks safe. P.G. has already blown $800.000. Cost of roundabout said to be $10,000,000. Probably double that after the bike lane no one will use is added plus an underpass for mountain lions.

If the consultant determines that a roundabout is the best alternative for the intersection, and the council OKs the idea, it could cost more than $10 million. But because of a ballot measure sponsored by the Transportation Agency for Monterey County that voters passed in 2016, P.G. will have $5 million to use toward the junction. The first phase is also being paid for by the measure.

We want to get you all caught up on a small brewery coming to Pacific Grove. About 3 years ago we started the process to open a small brewery on Lighthouse in Pacific Grove. We had an enormous amount of community support and we were so grateful to see that we had a good backing to get us through the permitting and We purchased the old Laundromat on Lighthouse Ave and that is where we learned that opening a small brewery in a historical area is not such a simple process. Fast forward 3 years and construction has begun on Hops and Fog Brewing formerly
