Refusal of documents by Lane County Oregon DA's Office
I contacted District Attorney Alex Gardner Phone (541) 682-4261. I spoke with Angela Brashears about what was going on in Lane County Sheriff case 06 9680. She said it was now past the statutory time limit of 2 years. This is because the former DA refused to prosecute. I asked for an official disposition of the case. That is an official letter from the DA’s office of the time line, what was done in the way of investigation, any notes about why it was not prosecuted, who they contacted concerning their investigation and what is the status at this time. This is what any reasonable person would request from the DA’s office in a case involving them. I expected to be given a DA case number and be connected to records, who would then mail me the documents for a fee. What Angela Brashears, assistant to Alex Gardner, told me was, “No, I will not send you anything on your case.” She said she would send me the Oregon statutes concerning the statutes concerning the time limit for them to file a case. This is yet another instance of Lane County Oregon refusing to provide public documents in our case. When the DA, who is funded by the Lane County Board of Commissioners, refuses to prosecute a case that involves matters connected with a County Commissioner, Faye Stewart, and then refuses to provide the case file to the person involved it appears to me to be part of a cover-up. To recap what is involved: Faye Stewart sits on the board of a “not for profit” that he as a Lane County Commissioner granted Federal Housing funds to. As a County Commissioner, he sanctioned the use of 2 known bogus documents to deny those funds to a disabled minority person. The letter of denial of federal housing funds was not compliant with HUD regulations. As a direct result of that denial letter and Nancy Wagonner’s office faxing the attorney for the landlord a known bogus rent document, the landlord began shooting at us 14 times over a 2 week period. According to the lease the Lane County Commissioners were responsible for making sure that we were not being denied the federally mandated protections in our lease. We called the Lane County Sheriffs to report the shooting crime, one incident was captured on video tape with the sound of shotgun pellets hitting the home, the 911 call records the shots live, and the attorney for the landlord freely admits that the landlord shot at us. The case was referred to the Lane County DA, whose office is dependent on funds supplied by the Lane County Commissioners. The Lane County DA refused to prosecute or investigate properly. When we requested the public documents relating to the Lane County Commissioners hearing of this matter, we were told that we would be required to pay a fee many times larger than they normally charge other people. When we requested our case file from the DA’s office, we were told that they would not give us the documents. Because the violations that Faye Stewart has perpetrated involve his use of Federal funds and that we have exhausted all possible avenues locally we will now contact the Office of U. S. Inspector General 202 708 4829 by fax c/o operator 71, whom we have already spoken with by phone. We will also contact the newly appointed person in charge of stimulus fund abuse outlined in President Obama’s speech of Tuesday, February 24, 2009 because Faye Stewart should not be allowed to continue to use federal housing funds. Federal regulations include provisions for large fines, federal jail time and a 5 year ban of receiving federal funds for abuses such as these. The Lane County Commissioners are ready to receive hundreds of millions of federal housing funds, highway transportation funds, watershed funds and “forest project” funds. The President has stated that these funds will be spent wisely and in a totally transparent manner. The Lane County Commissioners have demonstrated that when there are questions of impropriety involving their members they will go to extraordinary lengths to cover-up and conceal it from the public. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQQ4ystsAWo shooting video

fax to Vice President Joe Biden
After calling the Whitehouse comment line 202 456-1111, we were told to fax Vice President Joe Biden directly. Below is that fax.
The White House Atten: Vice President Joe Biden faxed 2/25/2009 9:17 AM Hundreds of Millions of Federal stimulus money to go to Lane County Oregon Commissioners who sanctioned Disabled Minority Being Shot at in Federally Funded Housing in Lane County Oregon video of shooting with sound of pellets hitting home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQQ4ystsAWo more background information “ Living in racist Oregon” thread on forum page http://community.kmtr.com/forums/thread/3661371.aspx I watched President Obama’s speech. He said you would prevent stimulus money being used unwisely. Please look into this situation. We have contacted every agency that should have helped but none have. With the stimulus bill passed into law this group will be granting out hundreds of millions of federal stimulus money. I do not believe that the situation outlined below exemplifies the high moral American standards that our President said you will be working to uphold in the spending of the stimulus funds.
Stimulus and housing funds to go to group that ignores federal civil rights laws what is involved: Faye Stewart sits on the board of a “not for profit” that he as a Lane County Commissioner granted Federal Housing funds to.

ludicrous and self-serving
I spoke to Ms Brashears, she said she wouldn’t send me the case disposition and file. She said she would send the ORS of the statute of limitations reference. She didn’t send reference and the letter states, “As I explained to you”, but is not signed from her. It gives the impression as coming from Alex Gardner. That is curious because Patricia W. Perlow answered the phone and wouldn’t let me leave a message for Mr. Gardner but would only connect me to Brashears.
Legal stuff from 659A.875 Time limitations. ( http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/659a.html ) “(3) A civil action alleging a violation of ORS 659A.145 or 659A.421 must be commenced not later than two years after the occurrence or the termination of the unlawful practice, or within two years after the breach of any settlement agreement entered into under ORS 659A.840, whichever occurs last. The two-year period shall not include any time during which an administrative proceeding was pending with respect to the unlawful practice”
659A.421 Discrimination in selling, renting or leasing real property prohibited. … “(g) Coerce, intimidate, threaten or interfere with any person in the exercise or enjoyment of, or on account of having aided or encouraged any other person in the exercise of, any right granted or protected by this section.”
The time limit does not include the time the county spent in the June-August 2006 hearing, the investigation by the lane County DA/Sheriff, County Commissioner hearing. Technically the DA still has the investigation on going until such time as they properly notify us that it is over and issues their report.
The reference made about our landlord not having a criminal record is worth note in that the first shooting was “investigated” by McComas but she did not file a report, the second time the sheriff’s deputies came out and received the video they filed a report with the DA. The incident on our leaving where the landlord threatened to “kill us” was called in to 911 by us and a separate call to 911 by the owner of the auto salvage yard where the landlord had followed us 5 to 10 miles from the residence and came onto the auto salvage property and threatened us in front of two witnesses. By not making these reports or coming to the auto salvage after two 911 calls makes the remark of “no previous criminal record” and “Subsequent events may result in reconsideration of the filing of this case” appear ludicrous and self-serving.

Call from governors citizens hotline
I just spoke with Larry, governors citizens hotline, about the situation with Lane County Commissioners mishandling of Federal Housing funds and use of known fraudulent documents to deny services to a disabled person on 3/4/2009 10:10 AM. He said he would contact his supervisor and get back to me. I will update here concerning that expected call back. I mentioned that when the State of Oregon applied for the Federal Housing funds that they agreed to provide oversight of those funds. Failure on the State of Oregon to do so could result in it being banned from receiving federal housing funds for 5 years, about $125 million expected at this time. The Federal Housing funds would still go to Oregon, they just wouldn’t be granted downstream by the State of Oregon Housing and Community Services, Victor Merced Flores Director.

Fax Sent to Governors Office by request from Larry
Fax Sent to Governors Office by request from Larry On Wednesday, March 04, 2009, I spoke by phone with Larry, Governors Citizen Representative, about the incident detailed below. When we spoke with Larry, he requested that we send him a written narrative of our complaint and he would reply back with a point by point recitation of what the Governors Office intends to do concerning the allegation of mismanagement of Federal Housing Funds by the Lane County Board of Commissioners and The State of Oregon. Federal Housing money was granted to the State of Oregon Housing and Community Services Division HOME TBA. These funds were sub-granted to Lane County Board of Commissioners, who then sub-granted the Federal Funds to Community Sharing Program of Cottage Grove. Lane County Commissioner Faye Stewart sits on the Board of Directors of Community Sharing Program of Cottage Grove. We have exhausted all possible avenues for remedies of this situation on the local level. The narrative below, as you can see, has been sent to the White House as well as all of our Federal Representatives and Senators. We will be sending it to the US Inspector Generals Office in the near future. We wish to settle this matter on a state level before it progresses to the federal level. We have been told numerous times to have this resolved at the local level. This resulted in the County Commissioners investigating themselves. That was fruitless and inappropriate. Since the State of Oregon originally applied for the Federal Housing Funds and is ultimately responsible for the oversight of how they were used, I request that the Governors Office use all mandated oversight responsibilities to look into this situation. Because the Federal Regulations regarding these funds include the penalty of a 5-year ban on receiving Federal Housing Funds for fraudulent use of these funds, I expect the Office of The Governor of The State of Oregon to do a thorough investigation. So that we will have a written record of your response, please send your response by e-mail to us as well as a letter to us. If you require the text of the two (2) Hearings with Lane County, they were conducted by e-mail and by law are a part of our files in the possession of Lane County. The files are in the possession of Liane Richardson, Lane County Counsel. Contact her and send us a copy of what you receive from her office. When you receive the copies of our complete files from Lane County and Community Sharing Program of Cottage Grove send copies of those files to us, as they have been uncooperative and unreasonable in making those files available to us.
I would expect that any competent review of this matter would require gathering all available material relating to this incident to include our case files from: State of Oregon Housing and Community Services, Lane County Human Services(notes, e-mails, case files mentioning us), Lane County Commissioners (notes, e-mails, case files mentioning us), Community Sharing Program of Cottage Grove (notes, e-mails, case files mentioning us).
Attached Fax that we sent to Vice President Joe Biden.

Brain freeze and Burnt Beans
While I wait for the politicos to do their stuff here is some useful information:
Brain freeze and Burnt Beans
On the lighter side I’m posting an old family remedy for 2 problems that are easily solved, Brain freeze and Burnt Beans.
To prevent Brain freeze when eating ice cream hold the bowl in the palm of your hand, make sure your palm gets cold. This will prevent the dreaded Brain freeze.
How to remove Burnt Beans from the bottom of a pot: When you burn a pot of beans, even if it is black and an inch thick of crust, empty out the loose beans, add an inch of water over the crust, heat to boiling, get a newspaper and place the pot upside down on the newspaper either in the sink or outside, leave until cool. The bean crust can now be removed completely with a rubber spatula or paper towel.

County Counsel jumps in with 2 left feet
How many failures of logic are in Liane Richardson’s e-mail to ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING/COMMUNITY SERVICES (Agencies Affairs Senior Policy Advisor) OHCS John Fletcher (503) 986-6721 john.fletcher@state.or.us North Mall Office Building 725 Summer St NE, Suite B Salem, OR 97301-1266
We sent information that we have posted to this forum, no need to repost, concerning the Lane County Commissioners using known bogus documents to remove us from federally funded housing. Liane Richardson is doing what she was “trained” to do; protect her cohorts.
Liane Richardson was trained by The Pacific Program, Luke Center "Graduates of the Pacific Program enter into a web of alumni that are supported through on-going educational opportunities, regular communications, and a cadre of relationships with other public sector leaders at all levels that can help when faced with difficult challenges and the need to forge partnerships in the public interest."
What is suspect in Liane Richardson’s email? 1, No where have we mentioned that we are Cherokee, so why does Liane Richardson mention that in reference to discrimination? 2, Checking the status of a lawsuit we withdrew in no way reflects our veracity, it only shows that we withdrew. 3, Mentioning Judge Coffin’s recommendation is evidence of nothing more than what he might have suggested to a real Federal Judge of what might be done in that case. 4, Inventing a reason of why we withdrew is pure fantasy on her part. 5, Inventing what a real Federal Judge would have done in that case is speculation. 6, The statute that the Lane County Commissioners are in violation of requires intimidation in the act to deny federal civil rights and the use of fraudulent documents to deny federal housing funds. There is no requirement to prove why or what was their intent. Intimidation requires “what a reasonable person would feel” if shot at 14 times by their landlord. The fraudulent documents rests on written documents from Lane County and are indisputable. The fines and jail time are specified in Federal Statutes and specifically noted just below where the agent for Lane County signed the HOME TBA Contract, which also states which federal laws the signers must obey. “Warning: ORS 165.102 provides, among other things, that whomever with intent to defraud or injure another or to acquire a substantial benefit obtains by means of fraud, deceit or subterfuge the execution of a written instrument affecting or purporting to affect the pecuniary interest of any person shall be imprisoned for not more than one year or fined not more than $2,500, or both. 18 U.S.C. 1001 provides, among other things, that whoever knowingly and willingly makes or uses a document, or writing containing any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.”. Beginning debate classes teach to redefine the opponents’ premise to one that is weak for them and strong for you. Since racial discrimination is very hard to prove Liane is trying to shift to that. Lane County’s weakest point to defend is the use of fraudulent documents.
From: RICHARDSON Liane I <Liane.RICHARDSON@co.lane.or.us> Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:59 PM To:X <X@X.org>; john.fletcher@state.or.us <john.fletcher@state.or.us> Cc: cgcf <director@cgcfoundation.org>, Dean Kaufman dkaufman@scslaw.org, Denae D'Arcy ddarcy@kval.com, fennerty Augustus.fennertyiv@ic.fbi.gov, Jeff Thede <Jeff.Thede@thede-culpepper.com> I would suggest that a quick way to determine Mr. X's veracity would be to check the status of the lawsuit he filed against Lane County and others in regards to the situation he is complaining about. Judge Coffin recommended that the case be dismissed with prejudice, but before the Judge signed the dismissal, Mr. X and Ms. Y moved to voluntarily dismiss. They only "withdrew" their complaint because it would otherwise have been dismissed with prejudice. There has been no violation of Mr. X's rights, and as a Native American myself, I resent any implications that he is being discriminated against due to his race.

Lets Make a Deal, Lane County Justice
From Liane’s e-mail re-posted below she seems to imply that our withdrawing our suit somehow implies that there were no merits to our allegations or that the DA did not prosecute the 14 times we were shot at was based on the merits of the evidence of the shootings. I have posted below a few of the many articles concerning how justice in Lane County has been subjugated to the almighty dollar. It shows that court appointed lawyers are being denied, crimes have been re-classified for convenience, justice is called “Let’s make a deal”, law enforcement are not reporting crimes for “budget” reasons, selective justice is corruption at its worse. To not prosecute a crime based on the dollar is to sell justice. When a Lane County Commissioner is involved in a crime and not investigated should be a wake-up call for the citizens of Lane County Oregon. Apparently they think that everyone will just let things go as they continue business as usual.
In the reference below “Prosecutor rejoins the fight on petty crime” it states “Low-level offenders will have the option of paying to enroll in a private company's home study course”. Who makes money in this deal?

Fax sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (DEM) C/o Jacquelyn Elder
Accountability to the citizens of the United States of America for how the Stimulus funds are being spent.
The citizens of The United States of America wish to exercise their right to know how the people’s money is being spent. To this end, we request that strict detailed accounting measures be put in place so that we, as a nation, can track and account how the Trillions of the people’s money in the Stimulus Funds of 2008-2009 are being dispersed and ultimately spent. We wish to be able to track and account for the funds as it goes from the Federal Treasury to the States to the County level, to the city level and down through the “Not for Profit”, NGO, Contractor level. The detail of accounting information should include the prices for materials, wage\hour, fees, and be detailed enough to provide a complete break down on every project, how the recipients were chosen, complete access to board/committee correspondence and meeting notes in which the peoples business is being conducted, who had influence in the selection process and what prior business they have had with the granting agencies. This accounting information and grantee database information should be made available and stored in a standardized easily usable format so that any citizen could access and scrutinize the databases from any public library or home computer. I propose the setting up of citizen monitoring committees, which would be organized at the county level, with full access to the data. Saturday, March 20, 2009 my husband and I are having a public meeting to start the process to create a committee to monitor Lane County Oregon.
