California Public Records in the Feeds
Responding to a California Public Records Act request, attorneys for R.D. 348 gave answers that were designed to “provide the least possible amount of information.”
July 18, 2006. Citizen activist organization accuses R.D. 348 of “clear retaliation against critics” and not complying with public records requests. Sacramento, CA - Detailing what it termed “a clear and present danger to property rights,” a California coalition today condemned the efforts by a San Joaquin County reclamation district for allegations of corruption. “The Alliance is concerned with R.D. 348’s apparent pattern of abuse and intimidation to seize private property from unwilling sellers and at times, without just compensation for lost property.” said Marko Mlikotin, President of the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights. “R.D. 348 refusal to disclose public documents is a threat to private property rights.” The area known as “Reclamation District 348” was established approximately 100 years ago in the northern portion of California San Joaquin Valley. The legal responsibility of R.D. 348 is to preserve and develop improvements for the levee system that protects the community of Thornton from Mokelume River flooding. A public agency under California law, R.D. 348 is overseen by a three-member board of trustees elected by district landowners. A small group of landowners controls the voting process. In responding to a California Public Records Act request, attorneys for R.D. 348 gave answers that were designed to “provide the least possible amount of information.” While acknowledging eminent domain actions in the past, the District refused to disclose public records, as required by California State law.
