Measure G in Hemet failed.

Please don't look for surprise here. Anything that would require people to part with money in that town is always going to get shot down.

They used to say there was more money in the banks on Florida Avenue than on Wall Street. Believe it. Because you will *never* see anyone invest it in infrastructure unless they were made to by rule of law.

I left. I left because I couldn't make a living out there, and I couldn't stand the politics.

Watch it get nastier before it gets better. That, I predict now.

Its already nasty with the hospital saying they will file bankruptcy and one of the big bidders saying it will buy the system after that occurs. Now some people (some of the doctors) are stepping up and saying they should have said something, but didn't before the vote. Now, if you live in Anza, they haul you to Murrieta for a hospital, not Hemet like they used to.

Don't follow Hemet that much. I do follow Perris, because the current mayor (and the past one, as I recall) is a big supporter of Orange Empire Railwy Museum (and, until he sold it, ran a damn fine Mexican restaurant on D street, Amigos Tres). Perris, I know, is having its fun with the foreclosure market. I remember being out there for railfest two weeks ago, going past the new housing and guessing which ones were in foreclosure.
