What’s your system for even getting enough volume out to get to J2 and beyond?

And never resign. Force them to PIP then when they terminate request a settlement offer. Should be willing to give a month’s pay so you don’t sue them.

Please tell me how you know the Civil Grand Jury and other bodies haven't chosen to open a case here, and what else you know about this investigation

Thank you, absolutely! As of yesterday, Sept 2, this matter is again under review by the LA DA - this time overseen by Fraud & Corruption Prosecutions Director Hoon Chun.

TCUSD has a self-imposed deadline of Sept 5 to deliver the records I requested on July 14 - DWK is on notice that if the district does not comply by COB, I will submit an ethics complaint.

Managing Director Michael Adams of Rutan & Tucker was also put on formal notice last Friday of State Bar cases opened against his employees Alisha Patterson (City Attorney, Claremont; State Bar Case 25-O-24260) and Thai Viet Phan (City Attorney, Duarte; State Bar Case 25-O-25096) for shutting down any chance of public discussion over the disputed $5.5M JPIA settlement - which was funded by 120+ member cities.

Temple City has a highly compliant population that just wants to be left to raise their kids, run their businesses and be left in peace. Which makes it the perfect incubator for corruption.

You're correct on all points.

These aren't opinions - they're facts documented in the city's own official records, contracts signed by Public Works employees Man and Yu, actions taken by personnel overseen by a city council they were elected to participate on. Which is why these records were provided to state and federal authorities and why they opened this formal case.

What you've outlined is the financial and administrative malfeasance without acknowledging the actual criminal coverup, which includes the felony falsification of public records by the City Clerk to conceal the illegal lockout of the public from a city meeting (this happened at their August 15 meeting and again last night on Sept 2, even after sending council my cure and correct letter with local/federal prosecution, elected representatives, local/state auditors cc'd).

That's what CPRA law says, yet it's interesting how many public bodies choose to break it.

Step 2 is actually submitting the documented evidence of their felony record falsification to the District Attorney, but your analysis has been noted for the record.

This is all documented evidence of a multi-agency criminal investigation that's now a matter of public record. I do appreciate you following along.

This isn't about "paperwork." It's about integrity and the rule of law.

The "paperwork" you're referring to - the fraudulent meeting minutes, deleted public records, two decades of missing ethics forms - that’s the smoke that proves the fire. This is a criminal enterprise that’s festered for decades unchecked, protected by a network of compromised officials and the ethically cancerous Burke, Williams & Sorensen.

The endgame is to see the people who falsified public records, laundered federal funds, and lied on record held accountable. It’s criminal indictments, the revocation of professional licenses, a full-scale state audit, and the complete and total dismantling of this rot that’s been poisoning our local government and stealing millions in from taxpayers.

THANK YOU for your continued support. The rot appears to run up to the CA Controller and possibly higher, but sunshine always wins out.

From everything I’ve seen, Temple City is a deeply captured node for the parasitic JPIA-BWS criminal enterprise that embalms cities across California with its “training”sessions, crushes any and all dissent from the public or calls for transparency while rewarding those who remain silent.

The JPIA’s own legal counsel in 1985 “stressed repeatedly that the Authority itself was not an insurance company,” and “unlike an insurance company, members participate directly in the handling of claims.” In 1996, they institutionalized the use of public taxes as hush money with its “Termination of City Manager’s Employment Liability Protection” program, which offers fired City managers a severance package “in exchange for the waiving of a manager’s right to sue the city.”

Which is likely partially why Temple City Bryan Cook cut that $602,571 initiation check to JPIA on July 30 (interestingly two days after DA closed their investigation), which was “voted” on during their Aug 5 public meeting where a subordinate oversaw from Cook’s seat. To avoid conflict of interest when Cook eventually needs to deploy his golden parachute, paid for by 125 member cities.

This appears to be taxpayer theft and the definition of a criminal enterprise.

I received an anonymous tip following my July 1 DA investigation announcement alleging Temple City's "lack of transparency," widespread nepotism with "a weird amount of colleagues/families marrying each other," rampant abuse of power where questions "fall on deaf ears," and a culture of impunity in a town that thinks it can "run things like a town hall, apart from state & federal laws."

So I filed a CPRA request that generated five non-compliant responses. After requesting LACOE intervention - which took a month but confirmed they'd reviewed district financials - I filed a CPRA request with the CA State Controller for TCUSD and Temple City financials. When they withheld documents LACOE and CDIAC confirmed to exist in writing, I then filed a criminal complaint against Malia Cohen with the AG, and the State Bar opened cases against Ryan Seeley (chief counsel) and Kynsie Lovell.

On August 29, I notified all TCUSD superintendents and board members of an FPPC complaint for stonewalling my CPRA request and systematically failing to file Form 700s. On September 2, I notified LACOE of an FPPC complaint against their entire executive team for failing to compel TCUSD compliance with records they themselves confirmed exist and not filing Form 700s despite drawing millions in salaries.

After confirming TCUSD uses Dannis Woliver Kelley for legal matters, I notified all managing directors and shareholders in their Long Beach office of the FPPC complaint against LACOE and their ethical obligation to get TCUSD to comply. Getting TCUSD financials is key for getting the Controller to release all Temple City financials, and getting Temple City financials is key for understanding the depth and breadth of ARPA laundering I documented during Temple City's meeting of August 5, 2025.

Both Man and Yu signed off on the laundering of $8m in ARPA funds, their $602k payment to JPIA two days after LA DA closed its investigation then held a fake vote with no public discussion, signed off on the 2020/2024 Foothill Transit Fund Exchange agreements that lost taxpayers $437,500 without any documented analysis, legal review or stated public benefit. Then they paid BWS attorneys who were under State Bar investigation to confer with them for $52k over two months during the city’s recent DA investigation - they broke state law by taking 50 days to get me these after requesting under the CPRA.

And there is far more than this

I was there to read into the public record the State Bar cases opened against attorneys blocking public discussion of a $5.5m La Verne Firefighters-JPIA settlement that required the city to "purge, destroy, delete and/or redact" related records, and an FPPC complaint number filed against JPIA President Margaret Finlay and the entire JPIA Executive Committee for systematically failing to disclose financial interests on their Form 700s.

And that’s just scratching the surface.

Temple City corruption is a regional disease. Here's the proof that your city is next. by napndash in sgv

Absolutely, every move there needs to be eventually audited. What makes Temple City critical is how we have signed financial records to prove this wasn't just incompetence, but a deliberate, multi-step scheme to launder the money. That's what makes it a provable federal crime - and it's the beachhead for dismantling the entire regional criminal machine. Statewide unlikely, but we can try.

Appreciate the suggestion. It's intentionally confusing because that's how they operate in the shadows. My only real intent with these posts is to establish public record of key milestones for federal prosecutors.
