Matt Garner: Bought and paid for by big developers.
Mr. Garner won his seat by a slim margin. It was quite a close race, and I'm sure those flyers from Hi Desert jobs pac certainly helped. You know the ones Matt! The mailers that you sent to voters that said that you were the Democratic candidate for Yucaipa. And then those other mailers that said you were the Republican candidate for Yucaipa. That was a very clever trick you pulled. And when you told everyone that you really didn't want any development in the North Bench. Here's you're quote.
"Well I'll make this short and sweet. Um, if it was up to me, I wouldn't have anything up there. I'm in ground zero up there. I really don't want anything.
But wait a second, if that's true then why are most of his campaign contributions from development firms? Here's a list of some of the developers that have funded Matt Garner's campaign.
1. RC Hobbs Company Inc, Orange C.A $1,500.00
2. H&L Frisch Development, Yucaipa C.A. $500
3. Shaol Levy, investor Santa Monica C.A $1000
4. Pine St Limited Ontario C.A 4,000.00
3. Orange County plastering $3,000.00
4. Fallbrook Meadows One $500.00
5. High Desert Jobs Pac $2.413.00 (paid for fraudulent mailers)
6. Crystal Investment LLC, Artesia C.A $500.00
Developers donated roughly over $20,000 to councilman Garners campaign. Mr. Garner himself is also an employee of FBM A building materials company with whom he has a 10% stake in. Garner also owns “GarnerDevelopment”.
With someone like this on the Yucaipa City Council you can be certain that big developers will be having undue influence on the council.
