Now let’s see what everyone is buying into.

I want you to look at the slate mailer that was sent to all of us to unduly influence our vote.
They claim this to be a public records release.
We would assume that it would be exactly as received through public records requests right? 

Now look at the original email's.

Look At this very close.

This is so wrong!!!!

I can see by your Monday city council meeting that you think my request is a joke. On Wednesday afternoon, your 24 hours are up. At that time I am notifying the states of Oregon and Washington of the illegal activities I observed in my tour of duty of Cascade Locks. These include:

1.     1.  The City Council approved a system development charge credit for a low income housing project for several thousand dollars. The credit was for a water main going to the project. However, the credit was illegal under Oregon law because it did not serve any other purpose than getting water to the project. Such a credit is only allowed if the water main would have served other properties and it would have been prorated. I was instructed not to ask the city attorney at the time about this. The City Council approved the credit and not me.

2.    2.   I was told by the mayor that I had to be in the city hall from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM everyday and go to night meetings that at times added 15 hours a week due to city council meetings and budget committee meetings. There was nothing in my contract that requires me to work 55 hours a week without comp time. In fact, I was only required to “attend all meetings of the City Council.” This directive was a violation of my contract.

3.   3.   I was asked to fire the Fire Chief and constantly harassed to find reasons to do it. There was a personal vendetta against the Fire Chief because of the new fire station cost. I was asked to investigate if the fire chief bought a motorcycle with city money. He didn’t and it was his. I was asked to investigate if the fire station open house was politically motivated. It was not and all fire stations routinely have an open house for public relation reasons.

4.  4.  One of the City Council members, Kevin Benson, bought two modular cabins and illegally placed them in his KOA camp. The Mayor, George Fischer helped him install them in the camp ground. I was asked to make them legal. I contacted the City Attorney about this and he confirmed they were illegal and needed both a conditional use permit and site plan review. The City Attorney was then fired. When I left my job, I gave Kevin Benson a letter that stated he had to get a conditional use permit and site plan review. That was when I decided my contract was over.

     By the time you read this, I will have more legal complaints. I have omitted all of the names and phone numbers of people who will verify all of this.

I just received a letter from the State of Washington, Employment Security Department stating that my unemployment benefits will not be paid because the City of Cascade Locks is contesting my unemployment benefits. This is one more attempt to bayonett the wounded. I will appeal this decision under Washington rules. And I will tell them the truth. The facts are that:

1. I completed my contract. Take the time to read it.
2. I was asked to do things that were illegal and that ended my contract by law.

These things alone under Washington law that reinstate unemployment compenstation. I have a long list of illegal and unethical requests and emails I can add to these.

If you do not contact the State of Washington, Employment Security Department within 48 hours and retract your statement and tell them I completed my contract and did not resign and that my contract ended, then I will pursue both an appeal and a civil lawsuit. The city of Cascade Locks has a pattern of illegal, unethical activities and hostile work environtment practices that can be proven by me and by the staff. It will cost you millions of dollars in a lawsuit. It is time you learned that your actions have consequences. You can talk about this all night at a council meeting, but I am saying you broke the law and I will not tolerate it.

What I want is a simple letter from the city of Cascade Locks to the Washington Employment Security Department that says that Richard Carson completed his contract as specified and did not resign. No more and no less.

The City Council has already spent too much money acting outside of the law and by making stupid decisions that you required you lawyers to spend hours of time. I am willing to document the legal violations in order to reinstate my unemployment compenstation. And I am ready to tell them the truth about the reality in Cascade Locks that I was forced to live with. My advice is to take my advice. I do know the law and the best lawyers.

By the way, my law firm of record is Garvry, Schubert, Barer. They have represented me in the past in human resource cases and always served me well.

I have had enough of the current Cascade Locks government. I suggest you stop the stupidity and stop the expense of your stupidity.

Let me put this in dollars and cents. You over spent the attorney budget settling with the previous city administrator. In this case, it is cost you a postage stamp to send a letter to the Washington State Employment Security Department stating "Richard Carsons contract ended and he did not resign." The address is:

Employment Security Department

Benefit Payment Control

P.O. Box 24928

Seattle, WA 98124-0928

I suggest you put this on you Executive Session immediately. We are talking about a civil lawsuit involving myself, the fire chief and the previous city administrator.

This will be cheaper than the thousands you spent settling a class action suit with all of the former employees you screwed. For the record, I never lost a legal case. The movie Kramer vs. Kramer was modeled on my life. I never give up.

Do you see all the things added and taken out?

Do you see all the BOLD ADDED for emphasis?

Do you know what you call that?

Voter fraud and unduly influencing the voters.

Not to mention.

162.305 Tampering with public records. (1) A person commits the crime of tampering with public records if, without lawful authority, the person knowingly destroys, mutilates, conceals, removes, makes a false entry in or falsely alters any public record, including records relating to the Oregon State Lottery.

      (b) Tampering with records relating to the Oregon State Lottery is a Class C felony. [1971 c.743 §205; 1991 c.962 §16]

 Are you still buying into their garbage and lies?

All to steal your vote!
So they can steal through our utilities and we pay.
Or steal from tourism.
Or shut Parks and Recreation down.
Or shut the museum down.
I guess they want to censor our history?

What part of they crashed the EMS department do you not understand?

Watch the videos and see when the threats started and go from there.
"if you have any voluteers left".

Also look at who Carson is ccing his emails to and thank about it.
Bernard and Jeff???
What the hell is that about.

Lets not forget this political action committee is not allowed to mass mail even a single slate mailer.
Click on this link.

"Secretary of State

"The committee is not a slate mailer organization."

Proof right here.

Trouble is a coming!!!

Wake up you are being played by power hungry people.
If you don't know the rules, don't play the game.

I have More later.
