Controversy over what a vocal cross section of the Redlands community considers to be City Hall’s too-aggressive land use policy has manifested once again.
Next week, the Redlands Planning Commission is slated to once again consider a 24-unit single family residential subdivision in Live Oak Canyon approved in 2015, the tract map for which has twice expired.
In a deft move the city’s critics say is intended to attenuate accusations that the city council is being far too accommodating of developmental interests, the planning commission on January 24 is to consider giving property owner/developer Mistretta Canyon Partners, LLC a third one-year time extension for project entitlements approved more than seven years ago.
Involved in the project as a representative of the developer is Pat Meyer, who on multiple occasions in the past has represented entities seeking project approvals on developments that have garnered considerable resistance from Redlands residents.

What Rialto municipal officials are saying were “management differences over the past several months,” have prompted them to part company with Marcus Fuller, who was hired to serve as city manager of the 103,000-population city a little more than a year-and-a-half ago to what was an enthusiastic display of so-called woke temperament.
At this point however, Fuller is departing “amicably,” all parties maintain, because of a “stark” difference in vision over the future and developmental potential in what is the sixth largest of San Bernardino County’s 24 cities population-wise and its 17th largest in terms of land area.

For the second time in less than six years, Ken Henderson will serve as Grand Terrace’s stopgap city councilman.
In October 2017, after then-Grand Terrace City Councilman Brian Reinarz abruptly resigned from his post after being in place for less than a year, the four remaining members of the council chose Henderson to replace him until a special election to fill Reinarz’s slot for the remaining two-years of his term could be held in November 2018. Henderson competed in that contest, which was won by Jeff Allen.
Two-and-a-half months ago, incumbent Mayor Darcy McNaboe lost to Councilman Bill Hussey in her bid for reelection. Hussey, who yet had two years left on his term as councilman, had to resign from his council post to move into the mayoralty. The council thus needed to fill that vacancy. Continue reading →

The sixth reexamination of the still extant physical evidence related to Kevin Cooper’s 1985 multiple murder conviction ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom in May 2021 failed to establish that the now-6?-year-old who has spent the last 39 years in pretrial custody and prison [did not exonerate him of] [demonstrate he was wrongfully convicted for] the June 1983 murders of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and 11-year-old neighbor Christopher Hughes in Chino Hills, according to the special counsel to the California Board of Parole Hearings.
The latest examination included a DNA analysis of evidence that was not technically possible at the time of the murders and which prosecutors resisted having performed. While lawyers who have long sought to have Cooper freed on the basis of their assertions that he was innocent and caught up in a frenzy of investigative and prosecutorial desperation to convict someone of the horrific and seemingly senseless slayings hoped the examination of the evidence would undergird their theories, the tests instead showed that the evidence used to convince a jury of his guilt was both “extensive and conclusive,” disproving his continuing claim that he was set up and convicted by the sheriff’s department’s planting of evidence to frame him.
