Jared: got it
SYSTEM: Please welcome Simon_T_Pieman who just joined the chat.
Simon_T_Pieman: Is Kara going to be on today?
Sungold: On KQMS Facebook Page there is a ransom letter for Sherru Papini....this is a very interesting letter written by an anonymous person offering money for her return.
Sungold: Sherri
Sungold: The public has certainly gotten involved in this case to the point of possible interference. I w as so surprised Sheriff Tom allowed the general public who formed a team to go door to door in the area.
Sungold: It is being said those cases are not related......I wonder how they came to that conclusion
Simon_T_Pieman: Congratulations Kara!
Jarhead: Great job Kara !!!
Simon_T_Pieman: Mom has insurance for all of us!
Simon_T_Pieman: Except for Lucas; he's uninsurable... :-(
Jarhead: Brussel sprouts are a tradition...Carl is old..he just forgot...that was almost a year ago...
Simon_T_Pieman: Hi!
Simon_T_Pieman: Mom doesn't eat brussel sprouts EVER!
Jarhead: you don't even remember the America you grew up in... most of your life is only documented in tablets hidden in caves near the dead sea but that is for another day
Simon_T_Pieman: Thanks Kara! Next month CATS!

SYSTEM: Please welcome Red who just joined the chat.
Red: Or what?
Red: You'll put them on a time out Brent?
Jarhead: Get as much opinion out as you can.... will be interested to see if those opinions hold true once the next few months unfold...Redding is a microcosm of our nation and we are about to have a local shakeup..which some are not going to like...we are just getting started
SYSTEM: Please welcome Russell who just joined the chat.
Russell: Ask Brent why the City is buying Allen's Golf Course.
Jarhead: how about replacing the REU advisory group...
Sungold: Where did you get your information that the City of Redding is buying Allen's Golf Course?
Russell: Cadd
Jarhead: he thinks it was the best decision.... let's see how that works out for him...
Jarhead: what about those "silly shallow campaign promises' the caller asked about ?
SYSTEM: Please welcome Ebay_shopper who just joined the chat.
I_M_Tired: The best plan to fight crime is a community watch or patrol that doesn't cost. Also don't give handouts which is like using bait to attract problems.
Ebay_shopper: One way to pay back Redding is to shop online. Find what you want on Amazon. It has great reviews. Look on Ebay for the same item. Most Ebay sellers don't collect CA sales tax.
Sungold: We have a patrol in our neighborhood which is on Next Door, anything unusual reported and several people respond. Recently chased a homeless man on a bike checking out a neighbors house who was not at home. It took about 5 minutes and he was escorted out of the area
I_M_Tired: The comment period is for people that might have gripes
I_M_Tired: as well as ideas
I_M_Tired: To attract business you have to give business a good deal... so cut costs
Ebay_shopper: When the predators at the building department charge $30,000 for a permit, how many man-hours did the city of redding spend to earn that 30K?
I_M_Tired: I wonder what Brent thinks of the EPA?
Ebay_shopper: Has anyone on the city council spent a few hours in traffic court watching bogus tickets by RPD? You have to see it to believe it.
I_M_Tired: Not me... give me an wxample
Ebay_shopper: An RPD bogus ticket creates an Ebay shopper.
Ebay_shopper: People go to traffic court to contest a ticket when they think a reasonable judge will dismiss the ticket.
I_M_Tired: and what would that ticke t be?
Ebay_shopper: Ask Mr. Weaver about out of court settlements by city of Redding to victims of police abuse.
Ebay_shopper: There is a lot written on facebook about a certain $300,000 out of court payment. The cop works as a security guard on the East coast.
SYSTEM: Please welcome MPseabee who just joined the chat.
Jarhead: we will not be bankrupt because we are going to do something to keep it from happening...something that we should have done 2 years ago or any further...
MPseabee: Why did they give raises to 2 people who are already over paid? Why not set that money towards firefighting r law enforcement? Coud they not hire a service officer?
MPseabee: Every council member can be replaced
Jarhead: it's a major issue and we should work on that ? like give more raises ?
I_M_Tired: We could sell the homeless in to white slavery... that might help
MPseabee: What about our #1 spot for MOST SEX OFFENDERS in the state of CALIFORNIA?
I_M_Tired: the govrnors
MPseabee: What about our spot for the #3 slot for MOST VIOLENT PLACE FOR WORMEN TO LIVE
I_M_Tired: You mean moon beam
MPseabee: blah blah blah...strong arm citizens to raise taxes
I_M_Tired: I don't believe that Redding is that bad
MPseabee: risk their safety for higher taxes
I_M_Tired: just visit LA or Sac
MPseabee: Why dont you make concessions by getting rid of over paid city heads?
MPseabee: TIRED: do some research
I_M_Tired: I personally think government workers are paid too much
I_M_Tired: way too much
MPseabee: Tired: Do research per capita we have more SEX OFFENDERS than anywhere else
MPseabee: The sheriff said in the area where Sherri was taken has 700 registered sex offenders

MPseabee: Check out facebook reddingcrime 2.0
MPseabee: Youll see whats really happening in this city
Ebay_shopper: Some suppliers are no longer delivering to Sears and Kmart because there is a good chance they will go bankrupt after Christmas. Macy's has 100 stores on a list to close in Jan.
MPseabee: LArry lees?
MPseabee: HAHAHA
MPseabee: The guy just turned down raises for every worker in the county when he gave himself 2 raises
MPseabee: Plus raises for his department heads
Ebay_shopper: What if Sears, Macy's and Kmart close in the next two years? Redding is a retail center.
MPseabee: Now hes talking possible recession in Shasta County
MPseabee: Time to clean house in the city and county
SYSTEM: Please welcome Red who just joined the chat.
Red: You said....quote " If the voters don't want to fund my plan I can't do anything about it"
I_M_Tired: It won't be nice when Redding go belly up, but maybe thats the only way some people learn.
Red: What Plan Brent?
Ebay_shopper: If Mt. Shasta Mall loses one or both anchor stores, a lot more will follow. City of R
Red: What plan did they not fund?
MPseabee: If it does at least we can start over
MPseabee: No more over paid salaries
Red: They shot down the sales tax
MPseabee: Neimier makes over 100k
MPseabee: Larry Lees make 300k
I_M_Tired: If Trump gets rid of the EPA you will see a rise in business
Red: That was your plan? For two years...a sales tax?
Ebay_shopper: City of Reddding revenue will plummet as local stores close and people switch to Ebay sellers who do not collect CA sales tax.
MPseabee: transparent clifornia
MPseabee: california
MPseabee: city manager makes almost 300k
I_M_Tired: Someone ask Brent if he starting to think Jefferson..
MPseabee: Chief makes over 200k
Red: What plan did the people not fund?
MPseabee: Are they that in need when the average household income is 42k in the USA
I_M_Tired: Terry will... I can't imagine him not calling in
Red: What plan Brent?
MPseabee: Id rather start over and hire more cops
MPseabee: go to voting in a mayor
MPseabee: get rid of city manager
MPseabee: take salaries away from county supervisors
MPseabee: Moty makes 50k on the county
MPseabee: not bad for a retiree who doesnt do anything
Red: What plan?
I_M_Tired: That's an idea, tax the city and county employees
SYSTEM: Please welcome Russell who just joined the chat.
MPseabee: what about city utility fees
Red: You never had a plan Brent and now you try to pass it off on the people...classy Brent
Russell: Privatize . The only way to stop the bleeding.
Red: There was no plan
Red: There was a tax with no guarantee to where the funds go
Red: 2 years and nothing
Red: That is not on the people
Red: How many CSO could we hire on what you've handed out in raises in two years
I_M_Tired: We need an electric commission and the DRBA back
Russell: Brent's buildings downtown were exempt from parking requirements.
I_M_Tired: HAHA...Brent excited about meeting a super crook LOL
Jarhead: I agree Tired ! but the last one will never happen
Red: Lie
Sungold: It is all a game, isn't it?
Jarhead: actually NO...you said you had a plan before you were elected... I went to all your rallys...
Jarhead: that was a lie
Red: Yes it was Jarhead
I_M_Tired: Well I blame Redding. The Redding citizens elected Brent, then got Brent... So we have to unelect people that don't work out
Sungold: During his campaign, every few words out of his mouth was a push for his lumber business
