This COVID shut down has hurt people. In Chico, businesses have gone under, people are struggling to make their bills, and the school district reports kids are suffering from depression and even suicidal thoughts. Personally, I’ve watched a few of my older neighbors and friends struggle with their own mental health, and even alcohol and drug addiction.
I witnessed a different kind of insanity on the video of last Tuesday’s (4/20/21) Chico City Council meeting – a cop, out of uniform, masked like a bandit, coming within inches of citizens, threatening to arrest them if they didn’t leave a public meeting.
We’ve allowed our city to turn into a Fascist state. We’ve gone along with the madness. Masks that studies show are not effective, a ruling class allowed to decide which businesses are “essential” and which aren’t, while they foist tax increases, increased builder fees, and rent control on us from behind closed doors.
And they profit, while we lose. Remember when we found out, former mayor Ann Schwab admitted business was up, way up, after the COVID shut down. That’s right, a bicycle business is “essential”. Well, how about a candy store? Council member Kasey Reynolds’ candy story, Shuberts, has not been closed one day since the shut down.
It’s true, certain council members who have been pushing this shut down have profited from it. Here’s a link to the government COVID relief site, the Paycheck Protection Program:
And here’s the link to Andrew Coolidge’s loan:

Coolidge owns “Coolidge Public Relations Inc”, which runs those home, garden and bridal shows at the fairgrounds. I assumed COVID would have shut that kind of thing down, but read that he just had a show in January. I also found that he received $10,400 in COVID relief funding for that business, for “payroll”.
I was able to search the others through that page. I was surprised that Kasey Reynolds would get anything, because her business has actually done quite well during the shut down. She still got $68,500, for “payroll”.
The big winner was Sean Morgan, who owns a business called “InvestorKeep”. He received $86,000 from this program, again, for “payroll”. Frankly, I don’t think he has a payroll aside from his own salary but maybe he’ll chime in on that?
Deepika Tandon owns Guzzetti Catering and Indian Food – she was less greedy – only $5,290 for her suffering. The others do not own businesses that I know of.
You have to ask yourself, what incentive do these people have to re-open our town? These are the people who have ordered the arrest of three people who dared to enter a public building during a “public” meeting. Chief Madden kept telling them they were interrupting a “public” meeting.
The only word I can think of for this is ABSURD.

Thank you for this! This NEEDS to be read for all the world to hear at the NEXT city council meeting. Next up on the CITIZENS’ AGENDA: deep forensics analysis into the Butte County Board of Supervisors’ finances! Let’s just hope they don’t go a step further than mere arrest threats and plastering our faces like America’s Most Wanted on news and social media, because we’re talking about the kind of money they’re OBVIOUSLY willing to kill for- as they have demonstrated through their relentless subjugation and annihilation of the private sector, the constitution and law and order itself. These people are frauds and murderers.
I would like to hear how the county funds are spent, what programs they offer for all these bums they bring to Chico. In fact, there in the agendas, you’ll see the “transfers” approved by the unanimous board. I’ve seen it. Seems the only thing those 5 agree on is bringing in more bums.
Have you seen Red, White and Blueprint? We need people wiling to stand up for what is right and finish up this scam. How do we get people to come out to the City Council meeting where they just received millions in covid relief! WHY?
Hey, I am never going to get the Covids because I am getting one of these…and I will wear it to the council meetings…

Reminds me….gotta change the air filter on the truck…
How do we find this out for different counties in CA?
