City Council has behaved so badly with their unethical and illegal behavior, they are calling our behavior buffoonery, blaming the residents of Carson for having to take security measures at city hall.

December 7, 2015 at 8:00 a.m., Carson Connected submitted a formal request for an appeal of all votes taken by the planning commission in regards to the oil & gas code.
Occidental Petroleum aka California Resources Corporation aka SOCAL Holdings LLC
Occidental Petroleum aka California Resources Corporation aka SOCAL Holdings LLC can’t seem to get it together by following the law. SOCAL Holdings LLC began operations yesterday at the Oxy Project site and their first act was to force the commissioner’s illegal work under the rug and move forward as if nothing happened. All the better for the residents when we file our lawsuit.
The city continues to break the law; all the planning commissioners had to be reappointed on Saturday November 21, 2015 because proper noticing of the vacant positions was not given. Which means only friends of City Council would have known to apply. Any work they have done since Albert Robles vacated the seats and appointed the planning commissioners needs to be thrown out.
As you can see not all commissioners had to be reappointed but all of the planning commissioners did.
Did Watson Land and Carson Companies purposely reserve North Carson for minorities?
In the mid 1960s, the residents of various communities realized we were being dumped on by multiple companies with their toxic waste. The oil industry was dumping their waste in the Cal compact landfill. We fought for our right to live in a healthy community and won. We fought the same companies to incorporate that we have to fight now to stop the contamination brought by the oil industry.
In the late 1960s early 1970s new homes were built in north Carson my mother and father decided they would like to buy one of those homes. I remember when they came home so angry because if you were not a minority you were not getting into these homes.
The same corporations that feel they have a right destroy the quality of life are the same who sold the land for minority residential property.
Could it be they feel minority lives don’t matter? Below are the faces of the people who think they own our lives. The faces that city council think are more important than ours.
Oxy Earthquakes
New evidence needed to stop drilling has been presented to the City of Carson
In light of the recent increase of earthquakes here in Carson, Carson Connected requested Dr. Tom Williams to do some research on earthquakes. Dr. Tom found form 1940 to 2014 (64 years) we had averaged less than 1 earthquake a year within a 1 mile radius of the Oxy Project. Which brings us to the first 9 months of 2015, we have had 7 earthquakes, and the only thing we are aware of going on within the 1 mile radius is Oxy and the fact they have resumed and stepped up production this year.

Watson Land
A planning commissioner stated Watson Land is who forced them to pass the oil & gas code.
What would it take for you to sentence an innocent man to death?
Oxy, Watson Land, Carson Companies or Carson Estates
Who do you think it is that is forcing the City of Carson to break the law? Is is Oxy, Watson Land, Carson Companies, Carson Estates or the Catholic Charities Pilar Hoyos states wants drilling in Carson? Is there anyone else you can think of?
Carson Corruption
I took the Carson Corruption page down because with the evidence we have we felt it was no longer necessary.
However, the City of Carson has decided to ignore the evidence and move forward to pass a bad ordinance.
A council member asked why he was on the list he was not a criminal, but he participated in an illegal appointment, and perpetrating a fraud on the residents of Carson. I have the video and documents to prove it.
I am missing Elito Santarina, because we requested a full investigation for his interfering in city staff employment issues and am awaiting a report from the city manager.

Oxy again?
It is being said around Carson that Occidental Petroleum aka Oxy aka California Resources Corporation is behind the persecution of Albert Robles. That his illegal activity is being exposed because he called for a moratorium.
If Albert Robles is really against the contamination and earthquakes oil drilling brings then he should step up and protect the city and residents of Carson. At Tuesday’s council meeting he should call an end to the assault on the city and residents of Carson by calling for an emergency item to be added to the agenda. He should call for a vote on No New Drilling in Carson and that all existing wells be limited to conventional drilling.
South Bay 1 week 5 earthquakes all originated in Carson
Week of August 30 – September 5, 2015
The yellow dots show the location of all earthquakes in the South Bay area last week.
4 hit centered around the Oxy Project location, and the other possibly an aftershock that hit near city hall.

City staff told us they checked with Oxy who stated the Oxy Project is NOT fracking, or water flooding. Without well stimulation they are causing damage to our city. Our city attorney has stated if we ban fracking it would be an automatic unwinnable quarter of a million dollar lawsuit. We received reports the planning commission is ready to pass a ban on fracking. If this ban is passed, it will allow more wells like the 2 Oxy is operating which can be tract to all 5 earthquakes last week. We’ve already begun the process of becoming another Oklahoma who went from 2 to 875 earthquakes a year. Oklahoma Report
Given these facts there should be No New Drilling in Carson. The City of Carson has a right to ban new drilling which will keep the damage to a minimum and allow some wells to remain. So let’s ban ALL New Drilling in Carson the same as other cities have and eliminate the threat of exposure to contamination, earthquakes, and lawsuits.
Importance of the oil ordinance to Carson Companies
In this letter from Carson Companies in the paragraph entitled Importance of the oil ordinance to Carson Companies it is stated 98% of the mineral rights belong to individuals and charities that have been gifted interest, they estimate the value of oil to be worth $2.5 to 4 billion.
This warning runs in the local paper every 3 months.
They want to make the city and the residents responsible for the bad business decisions made to populate the land that contains oil, and not keeping any of the surface rights. They want us to make good on gifts they gave. Nowhere in this letter does it address the earthquakes drilling along the fault causes.
If this ordinance passes, it gives our rights to protect our people, community, and future over to those interested in getting the oil out from under our homes. Banning New Drilling is mealy a community exercising their rights.
The South Bay has had a dramatic rise in earthquakes since drilling has been amped up.
The maps below show the difference in earthquakes since the Oxy Project came to Carson.
Before Oxy Project January 1, 2004 – December 31, 2009
After Oxy Project January 1, 2010 – August 8, 2015
