Tungsten Holdings - Reported to Be Bullies. And you Know what I think about Tungsten Holdings..

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:34:00 +0000

One Story on the Integrity of Tungsten Holdings.

Second lawsuit imposed by Tungsten Holdings. They are wiping us out--I don't know what we'll do this time.

In 1991 Tungsten Holdings became the owner of property adjacent to mine and part of HES 744 established in 1929. The entire homestead is surrounded by Forest Service land. The northern portion purchased by Tungsten has never had a residence on it and since 1974 had been inaccessible through our place, as the dirt "road" had been washed out by a devastating flood. The northern portion had been in the Grambauer family until purchased (or acquried through lack of payment of taxes) since 1929.

Bert Grambauer, who took some interest in visiting the property once in awhile died in 1972. His wife died in 1973. The three nephews to whom the property was willed took little interest in the property and one never even visited the property. Obviously, Tungsten Holdings discovered this and struck in their usual manner. They quickly acquired the property (which had no legal access) planning to force neighbors into an easement through their property and then sell the property for an exorbitant sum.

In short order, they began hounding me for an easement through my property. I tried to deal with them for a couple of years, but then they sued. They also sued for a portion of property along my northern property line (their southern property line)--the line which Grambauer and I had agreed upon.

To make a long story short, we won at District Court level in 1998. Tungsten appealed to the Supreme Court and won everything back in a judgment in 1999. Because they didn't like to even associate with us then, they nearly forced us to sign an agreement (which amounted to a gag order on my husband and a "be reasonable" order on me) in 2000. (They didn't like the way we were trying to defend our own property rights.)

Our attorney advised us to sign it and be rid of them. Well, finally they found they HAD to talk with us on certain matters and started talking to my husband, as well. NOW they are suing us again for breach of the agreement!!

This time they are asking for punitive damages as well as requesting us to remove signs ON OUR OWN PROPERTY. IN SHORT, THEY HAVE BEEN HARASSING US FOR I8 YEARS !! I don't know where to turn.

We do not have the money to hire an expensive attorney, and it is a complete lose-lose situation for us. They could essentially wipe us out with punitive damages claimed and payment of their attorney fees. They are VERY POWERFUL and MALICIOUS!!

I have lived on this property for 42 years, and they are trying to devastate us now in our retirement years. This is clearly a case of 18 years of harassment and now elder abuse, but because of their money and power, Tungsten Holdings will win again. I feel great sorrow in losing faith in our judicial system, and it is not right that a powerful corporation should be allowed to bankrupt individuals clinging to rights granted by our Constitution, but money and greed rule our judicial system.

What is Really up with the News Force Fed to You by the Lee Newpaper Chain in Montana ?

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:50:00 +0000

Which Montana Newspapers are Part of the Lee Newspaper Chain ? Who owns these News Outlets, is their "News" based on the Ad Dollars, Big Power and Political Clout? Or is the Lee Newspapers in Montana Bringing you the News.

Seems to me it is the same news.. today the Billings Gazette, Tommorro the Missoulian same stories, and it seems to me that the Lee Newspaper Chain is Against the Sheriff Recall in Lincoln County with out knowing or Printing any Facts to any case that the Recall is actually based on. ( www.EurekaMontanaNews.com ) The Lee Newpapers of Montana SHOULD be FIRED by you NO LONGER buying them. It is time for you, the Real People of Montana to tell the Real News in your Area WITHOUT it being based on ad dollars and political agendas.

The question then becomes Why Does the Lee Newspaper Chaine Push only certain VERSIONS of the News on you? I mean good people do care about Rapes, Dog's tortured and Murdered, Meth Dealers on the Street, perpetual DUI's by the same person, Robberies without prosecution, Law Enforcement beating Civilians, and a System the is NOT based in Actually enforcing the Real Laws that our Good Government has in place for us to follow in a Civilized Society.

So what is the real "Agenda" or Motive of the Lee Newspaper Chain ? We know from the local paper that Newspapers print what Big Money and Ad dollars tell them to print and that they leave STUFF out for the VERY same Reason, so... What is the Deal.. Well I will leave to your speculation for you to decide your Truth for You.

For Me, I do not believe you will get Real News from a Newspaper. I believe Politicians, Money, Big Corporations, Social Standing and Peer Pressure is what creates that kind of "Old Media" that kind of Force Fed News NOT based in Reality or Truth.

I want YOU, the people of Montana to Write on My Montana News Network, News by the People for the People in Montana to get your story heard of what is happening to you.

Email me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com - I don't worry about my Email out there any more or the HATE I will get in my inbox, it simply is a Given and comes with the territory. So email me what you need to but expect to see in on dozens of Blogs and then some ... Expect your Name on the Internet to FOREVER be tied to what it is that YOU email me... so make it a Good One, make sure it is Articulate and how you Really Feel... it will be Published and we do DOMINATE Northwest Montana on the Internet...

So Let's hear it.. email me NOW and get access to write your Montana News to You on our HUGE Montana Blog Network..

Why does NMAR Push it's way into Local Planning

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:47:00 +0000

NMAR is an Association, NMAR is NAR members - they should not have the CLOUT they brag about having. NMAR should not get to a have an opinion and a Political Agenda. NMAR and the National Association of Realtors Should NOT influence Local Government in ANY way.

Tell the Realtors to get out of your Business. Realtor CLOUT is bad for the real estate consumer, bad for the environment and bad for the taxpayers.

Get Realtors, NMAR, MAR, and NAR out of your Politics... they have no business there.

Here is the Whitefish Lake Protection Regulations and NMAR's Comments.. though they should not be having any... NMAR is a for Developers, for Big Money and Big Business and to Keep Relators in Business... this is Wrong..

Nobody Wants to Know the Truth about things that Really Matter... Quick get the Local Newspaper.. now That's News.

Newspapers Lead you to Believe what they want you to Believe.

b
Do NOT get your news from the newspaper. Ask around, dig deeper. Write on our blog network of news by and for the people and get your version of the story out there…. Crystal@CrystalCox.com - email me for access to write on our Network.

The Truth is rarely in the Lee Newspaper Chain. And most to not have the courage to write on our blogs, and admittedly I don't know most of what is going on. I ask, I invite others to write on our blogs, our large network of Blogs to Get your voice heard but only a couple have taken me up on this, yes a whole lot of people slam me for what I say and most do so anonymously.
v

The Lee Newspaper Chain in Montana, They Cater to the Powers that Be.. Big money and politics controls what you read in your local rag, don’t trust it. Find out the Truth for yourself. They think your easy to fool. They think you will believe whatever they write, I THINK YOUR SMARTER THEN THAT.

Nobody will Talk about the Real Stories. Everyone ones to live in la land where corruption reigns king and then stand up all righteous as if we Live in a Free Country and must fight for it.

Makes No Sense to Me.

For about a Year I have been Talking about Really Bad stuff Going on Here, stuff that makes your blood boil and brings ya to your knees at the shock of it, and most do not believe a word I say. Yet those same folks that are living in the land of denial are emailing me, calling me to ask about the Local Eureka Police Drama.... they seem to be clueless as to what is really going on and in that will believe whatever the Tobacco Valley News, the Secretary running the town, the commissioner and the Big Names playing the Big Games of the Tobacco Valley TELL them to believe or what they put out as the Official Story... Look Deeper Folks, wake up.. the Truth - True Justice - the Rule of Law - Obeying the Law by those who are suppose to enforce it. .. there is alot more to EVERYTHING then you are being fed.

Dig Deeper, Demand access to Public Documents. Demand to know where Criminals are not prosecuted. Wake up and ask more questions.... I am saddened and shocked at the amount of people over the last year who have stood up for what I am doing and trying to say, not very many. And what I speak of is for the good of all and I stand up for total strangers and MOST turne a blind eye. But now.. NOW for Goodness Sake... many are contacting me for the STORY on the Local "Administrative Leave" at the Eureka Police Department... they want the scoop..

They don't want True Justice.
g

They Do NOT Want the Whole Truth and Nothing But.

they Want the Down and Dirty Gossip, the Secrets behind the Scenes...
r

They want this blog to Expose the Private lives of those involvled and for what reason... Hmmm.. Look Deeper Folks... after all the bad stuff happening this is what most now care about .. what most feel they have a Right to KNOW.. are you kidding..

Well I don't Dive into Private Lives to that level... so Forget it.. However if I did many of those same people would be here on this blog as to there Dirty little secrets going on behind closed doors... This blog is to OPEN eyes.. no one care.. This blog is to speak for those who no one is listening to... MOST do not care... This Blog is the TRUTH from my perspective and open to others.. MOST all of YOU do not HAVE the balls to Write on our blogs... to Speak your Truth.. but you sure like to Stand up and Slam Me for my Truth... and Most do that Anonymousely...

r
From starting this news by the people for the people blog network, I have seen very few people speak up and tell the truth. And I have heard the sickest stories imagineable. I understand just wanting to live in your little bubble and not create waves. I get it. Especially in areas Famous for Supposed Suicides that end up really being murders but are never investigated because a county sheriff is the law of the land, these stories are statewide.

People touch on the truth, but seriously We, You cannot handle the Truth. It is to disturbing at every level and the corruption, secrets, and denial is at the top levels and you the people pay for their wages to do this to you, and you keep your head down for fear of your life and your families life. So much I now wish I did not know. So many have come to me with the sickest and the saddest of stories.. and truly there is nothing no one is willing to or can do.

I keep this blog going here and there as a candlight in the darkness, the corruption and the lace of victims rights here. I keep writing in hopes that you will wake up and bring your voice to this page... MOST of my Blog visitors are statewide and nationwide but not FROM Eureka...
r
Since starting my News Blogs I have heard of corruption accusations at the highest levels, I have heard first hand stories of people beaten by Lincoln County Cops, heard of children raped and beaten in their homes by family and not heard, I have heard of Horrible crimes to innocent animals, I have heard of human trafficking stories and date raping druggings where by groups of woman are drugged and raped and photos are taken, video is taken and if the girls remember any of it well they are discredited immediately by video, by the town mouths flapping about them having a drink or they should not have been there… when the TRUTH is GHB - the Date Rape drug can be in water.

The commissioners say the rapes are drug and alcohol related and that is the common denominator. I say that the Common denominator is the Lack of Crimes EVER being punished in Eureka Montana - in Lincoln County. And with Marianne Roose flat out lying to the Public how does the real victims get any justice, she herself is attacking such a victim in court... There is no Justice anywhere in Sight in Lincoln County Montana.

I have heard stories of the same Drug runners working your streets for decades and even driving local school buses - no one cares.... many call me and ask why is there such a high rate of miscarriage and disease at the local schools with kids and workers .. I have no answer.
r

People call with such Hope that I can help them.. and I cannot.. as they tell me of calling the cops for help and the cops beating them and then jailing them.. THEY CALLED FOR HELP.

Stories of young girls corned by Libby Cops to trade sexual favors for NO TICKET.. or to not get in trouble when caught drinking.
r

Stories of Drug informants - Dealers doing sick stuff to their daughter for years on end and social services ignoring it.. protecting them.

Stories of Mothers losing all parental Rights by Montana Judges... for NO proven lawful reason.
r
Rumors of "It cost $50,000 for a Montana Supreme Court Decision", and Corruption so deep and so wide that you will never get justice of any kind. So what Next.. Give Up ?

Some of the Stories I have heard over the Last Year have rattled me, some of the photos I have seen have sickened me, and at this point I am not sure what to say to people, I hate to say Give up and go Cry in a Dark room.. NO ONE IS LISTENING.. so I keep yapping to give them hope.. but the truth is.. I have come to feel that there is NO HOPE for these folks.
h
The City cops in Eureka Montana and the County Law enforcement have very bad relationships and local arrests MEAN nothing, for the folks in Libby let them back out on the street as soon as they feel the public won’t cause to much rucus about it.
h
no True Justice is Given in Our County.... Look at the Arrests, look at the paperwork, the plea bargains, the deals, the "suicides".. just take a look at it all and you will know that there is so much more to ALL the stories you have been FED for decades by local controlled media.
R
I am told this is happening in other states and certainly all over Montana so it is nothing NEW.

But what can be NEW is that you folks out there listening can have the courage to tell your story on our News By the People for the People news network that is not about the Lee Newspaper Chain or other Media Controlled by the powers that be.
x
email Me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com
and Get access to Write on Our Blogs.. you Don't have to Agree with me.
You can tell your story firmly but with out targeted hate.. right?

Let's Here what you have to Say, what your Hearing..
r
The depths of Corruption, pay offs, plea bargains, and Secret Agendas is decades upon decades old and it is not going to come to a STOP anytime SOON. Especially when the Public at large is IGNORING the truth for the most part.
t
You get the Option to ignore everything I have said on this blog, and so be it. Most are still yapping at the stores about how it is the Victims Fault... and other noneense and head in sand Yammering. Oh well.... You Get to Choose.. and if you wish to stay in the dark, because it is Easier then So bit... But be careful you don't bump into anything... for in the Dark you Truly can't see much .... THOUGH it is STILL there..

Terry Trieweiler and the Real Estate Consumer

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:44:00 +0000

“Nearly all” of the amicus brief filed last week by the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors (NMAR) is irrelevant to the issues involved in the city of Whitefish’s lawsuit against the county over the so-called “doughnut” area, city attorney John Phelps claims in his Feb. 6 response to the Realtors.Furthermore, NMAR’s brief contains information about the city’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) that is “incorrect, exaggerated or untrue,” Phelps said.

The city has asked Flathead County District Court Judge Katherine Curtis to enter a preliminary injunction stopping the county from taking any further planning or zoning action in the “doughnut,” and to make it effective from May 1, 2008.

NMAR wants the preliminary injunction to be effective beginning Dec. 23, the date when the Montana Supreme Court overturned Curtis and ordered her to enter a preliminary injunction.The impact of the CAO on property owners within the two-mile planning and zoning jurisdiction was the focus of NMAR’s amicus brief, but Phelps says the city’s lawsuit is a contract dispute over the interlocal agreement between the city and the county that created the “doughnut” area.“Although the CAO was the reason for Flathead County’s attempt to rescind the interlocal agreement, the CAO is not at issue in this case,” Phelps said.

To support his point, Phelps cited the findings of fact adopted by Curtis on May 1, 2008, which said that “the validity of the CAO is not at issue in this action, and the views of the Flathead County Commissioners concerning the ordinance is irrelevant to this court’s determination of whether or not (the city) is entitled to the preliminary injunction it seeks.”Phelps also countered NMAR’s claim that the “more than 5,000” property owners in the “doughnut” are indispensable to the case.“Under our system of government, local government units can enter into interlocal agreements without approval of voters or property owners,” Phelps said.

Phelps also pointed out that the city had warned the court that if the preliminary injunction was denied, planning and zoning actions subsequently approved by the county “might be wasted” if the district court’s ruling was reversed.“But for the national slow-down in real estate development, the situation would be far worse,” Phelps said.

As for the two “doughnut” area lakeshore permits issued by the county last year, Phelps said the city was willing to validate them even if Curtis restores the status quo back to May 1 last year.

Accompanying Phelps’ response was the affidavit of Whitefish attorney and former Montana Supreme Court justice Terry Trieweiler, who has consulted with the city in the “doughnut” lawsuit.Trieweiler said he investigated NMAR’s claim that the arguments in the amicus brief represent the interests of its 855 members

I Really Must State My Opinion on Terry Trieweiler. I thought he was awesome, I researched him and thought that he was in the best interest of the Real Estate Consumer. I had a real estate client who contacted Terry Trieweiler because of his Supreme Court experience and his apparent interest in the Real Estate Consumer. He had them in tears within the hour. He is Cruel, in my opinion, he is unfeeling. He does not care about the Real Estate Consumer and makes the Real Estate Victim feel like the Criminal even when obvious, blatant and proven fraud cases are brought to him. Terry Trieweiler on NMAR's side, seemingly, is a direct attack against the real estate consumer. Possibly on the Side of the Developer, the Realtor and Big Money and assuradly NOT on the Side of the Montana Real Estate Consumer.

Dupont also wants say in doughnut lawsuit

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:39:00 +0000

For the third time in less than a year, documents have been filed by people who want a say in the city of Whitefish’s lawsuit against Flathead County over the two-mile planning and zoning jurisdiction commonly called the “doughnut” area.

Flathead County Commissioner Jim Dupont and “doughnut” resident Anne Reno filed for intervenor status on Feb. 18.

Two separate parties filed for intervenor status in March 2008 — Heiko and Elizabeth Arndt, who own property on Whitefish Stage Road, and Westridge Investments LLC, with principal R. Matthew Moran, which owns property on Birch Glen Road.

Then in January this year, the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors filed an amicus brief in support of the county.In his application, Dupont cites the importance of the “doughnut” issue in last year’s county commissioner election.

Dupont notes that his Republican primary opponent, incumbent commissioner Gary Hall, admitted the interlocal agreement that created the “doughnut” was a mistake.Dupont also notes that his Democratic opponent, Steve Qunell, favored Whitefish control over the planning and zoning area, and only one of the three current county commissioners, Joe Brenneman, supports the interlocal agreement.“Dupont believes that previous commissioners should not be able to bind future commissioners on legislative issues, such as enacting zoning and growth policies in the doughnut,” his application states. Reno, who owns property on Eagle Creek Trail, “is a single mother living on limited means,” the application states, and “her home is her major asset and nest egg for retirement.”

Tobacco Valley News - Never Ever Forget this Blatant Attack on the Victims of EVERY Crime Committed here over Decades. This is a Disgrace....

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:56:00 +0000

Shameful, Disgracful Quote from the Tobacco Valley News... This makes ALL victims feel even more violated. Steve Newman lives in a Land of Fantasy if he believes any of the Trash Talk and Irresponsible Speculation.

Hasn't the Tobacco Valley New's Version of Reality and Version of the News made us all crinch over decades and haven't they got to say enough, do enough damage ?
r

the Tobacco Valley News does NOT print real news.
they don't Dare !!!

r
You have to go out of town to get your news of what really is happening in your neighborhood. Steve Nueman goes to most all political meetings but your certainly do not get the whole story on the, "You Can't Handle the Truth". But you pay for those Newspapers, you pay for those meetings and for the folks that sit there and decide what is best for you.
r
Steve Newman gets the almighty power of telling you what to believe, printing the news he wants you think is the whole truth and nothing but and he influences your lives every single day. Enough is Enough.
r
If Steve Newman Does not Stand with an endless array of victims, well then who does Steve Newman Stand with... Commissioners, Politicians, Mayors, Detectives, Sheriffs, and Advertisers? Is this the Kind of News you want to Believe when Big Daddy Steve Newman tells you once again what to do.

Now Sit Down Eureka, Shut Up, Get your Coffee and Read what Steve Newman asks of you, and you Darn Well Better DO as he says.

Steve Newman Quote"Reject Recall Petition

Dissatisfaction over investigations into alleged rapes has prompted a number of North Lincoln County residents to consider a recall of the sheriff.
Organizers promise a petition to that effect.

If one is actually circulated, other residents would do well not to sign it for two reasons.
First, there is no sufficient legal grounds to recall the sheriff.

Second, and more importantly, a recall solves nothing.

Montana is one of 17 states that allow citizens an avenue for removing elected officials from office. But that power is limited. State law allows recall of an elected official for lack of physical or mental fitness, incompetence, violation of oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of a felony offense.

None of these in fact apply to Sheriff Daryl Anderson.

The law that subjects Anderson and every other elected official to recall specifically states: "A person may not be recalled for performing a mandatory duty of the office that the person holds or for not performing any act that, if performed, would subject the person to prosecution for official misconduct."

It's one thing to disagree with the sheriff on decisions he makes. We certainly have had occasion to do so. But it's quite another to allege misconduct and incompetence when neither apply.

A recall is therefore inappropriate.

And recalling the sheriff solves nothing. Implementing a public affairs protocol would.

We've pointed out in the past that the sheriff's department in Libby sorely needs a trained liaison to deal with the public, which has every right to raise questions and expect answers.

The tempest brewing over these investigations is another case in point of failed communication.

It can be done right. Officers right here in North Lincoln County are evidence of professional, courteous communication.

Equal treatment from Libby solves a problem.

Backing a doomed recall of the sheriff does not.

Lincoln County knows full well from a former justice of the peace in Libby that elected officials must on occasion be removed from office. " Unquote...

Never Forget this and Never - Ever

Forgive the Tobacco Valley News for this.

r
The Crimes that really going on here, would bring any one of you good people of Eureka Montana to your knees. If you really knew the whole truth and nothing but you would drop to your knees in despair and in prayer.

You may think it odd, but i am tearful, actually crying as I write this at our local paper having the nerve to smack down victims in this public display of pure disrespect.
r
This quote tells all victims they don't matter, they deserve what they got; be it raped, beated, robbed or whatever was done to them.

I am HERE, not to disrespect the law in any way, but to hope that justice is actually served based on the Crime and not on Who you Know or how much money you Have.
r
I am Here to tell ALL victims of Lincoln County Montana over Decades that you Do Matter, you do deserve to be heard and you Did NOT deserve what you got. This is NOT the Lincoln County I know and love, this is not the help thy neighbor - let's go fishin' and drivin' in the woods - picnicing - good loving - hard working Tobacco Valley that I know and Love.

I am HERE to Say to you Victims; the Naysays, the Tobacco Valley News, and the folks saying you asked for it or some how deserved it,

THEY DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME !!!!

r
This quote says you are not a Victim unless The Tobacco Valley News says you are. And it boldly states that all laws and efforts of investigation were done properly in every circumstance and that a recall is "inappropriate" and "doomed.
r
How in the world can Steve Newman of Tobacco Valley News know this, a legal genius I guess, memorized all laws, knows all details of all crime scenes, and looked into his Crystal Ball and decided all has been thoroughly investigated and all actions were appropriately taken, So Be It.. Steve Newman has Spoken and that's the way it is... NOT...

I am a lifetime resident here, I am a Lincoln County Graduate and a Daughter of those timber dollars. I am a 4th generation Montanan and I say Sign the Recall, Demand Justice, and I even have the audacity to say Boycott the Tobacco Valley News for Violating Public Trust.

Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act - Not just another "Environmentalist" it is Time To wake up to fact and Stop Hatred.

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:49:00 +0000

Carole King Joins Rep. Carolyn Maloney in Supporting the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act

Washington, D.C. -- Today, pop music legend Carole King joined Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) in announcing the introduction of the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). NREPA would protect some of America's most beautiful and ecologically important lands while saving taxpayers’ money and creating jobs.
“Many of America’s most precious natural resources and wildlife are found in the Northern Rockies,” said Rep. Maloney.

“NREPA would help protect those resources by drawing wilderness boundaries according to science, not politics. NREPA would also help reduce global warming by protecting the corridors through which vulnerable wildlife can migrate to cooler areas.”

“I am proud to cosponsor this legislation to protect the Northern Rocky Mountains, one of America’s great natural areas,” said Rep. Grijalva.

“A bold plan is needed to preserve and protect what remains of the Lewis and Clark legacy, and this bill would do just that.”“NREPA protects land and water belonging to all Americans, mitigates the effects of global warming on species, saves taxpayers millions of dollars and creates jobs.

If not now, when?” asked Carole King. Grizzly bears, caribou, elk, bison, wolves, bull trout and salmon still thrive in the Northern Rockies. The bill seeks to safeguard both these species and the lands on which they live. The Northern Rockies is the only place in the lower 48 states where native species and wildlife are protected on lands that are virtually unchanged since Lewis and Clark saw them.

Click here for complete text of the bill.
The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act: *

Designates as wilderness more than 23 million acres of ecosystems and watersheds in the Northern Rockies;

Connects natural, biological corridors, ensuring the continued existence of native plants and animals and mitigating the effects of global warming; *

Restores habitat that has been severely damaged from roads that were built, creating more than 2,300 jobs and leading to a more sustainable economic base in the region;*

Keeps water available for ranchers and farmers downstream until it is most needed; and

Eliminates subsidized development in the designated wilderness areas, saving taxpayers $245 million over a 10-year period.

How Much Damage will Tom Burk of Coldwell Banker Kalispell do before Coldwell Banker Collapses?

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:13:00 +0000

Remember Our Talks about Tom Burk and His Mouth Flapping over at the Flathead Beacon Real Estate Blog about Kalispell Being "Recession Proof" somehow?

And oh well, a year later he is SHOCKED when you all lose everything, Oops, but what the heck, he got another year of YOUR Money. He LIED, he did know, and I commented on his post right away, it was a very big drama, his wife even called me and told me to stop picking on Tommy (ok I paraphrased). But she did call and Demand that I not say those things about her husband.

Though many Kalispell Real Estate Consumers believed Tom Burke of Coldwell Banker Kalispell and still fell for their Advertising and False promises. I mean the National News and Every Outlet pointed to recession but he kept spouting lies and misleading consumers, now they are in forclosure and their real estate is not worth what they bought it for.

In the Mean Time How Much Damage has Tom Burk been able to Legally "Get Away" with?

Well all the numbers are not in yet, however, we do know of several cases Tom Burk acting in a way that did not benefit the real estate consumer. I, myself, was involved in one of those cases where we provide Top of the Search Engine marketing for a Seller, directed the traffic online to the Seller with Coldwell Banker's "permission" to help keep the Seller from foreclosure, and this marketing was FREE.

In 2 days we had calls coming in and we had that Seller EVERYWHERE, Coldwell Banker let us do all this work and then they brought the Hammer down and told us to stop. Even though the Seller Directly Benefitted and Coldwell Banker would still have gotten the Commission. Coldwell Banker Kalispell is as Anti-Consumer as it gets.

Tom Burk of Coldwell Banker Kalispell seems to believe that it is ok to market real estate with Lake Access, to have this in the Buy Sell agreement, to have the Lake Access in the Advertising and on the MLS but to not really "Prove" that their really is lake access.

And when the Unsuspecting Buyer goes to Use the Lake Access or to Sell with Lake Access and they find out that they really do not have Lake Access and that their property does not have ANYWHERE near the value they thought it had, Tom Burk says it was a Clerical Error, he admits that he knew the access was Revoked 10 Years Ago and he says "The Matter is Closed". So there you have it, Lake Access Real Estate Is worth a HUGE amount more money and then real estate without Lake Access, everyone EVERYWHERE knows that. But Tom Burk is playing dumb, and saying oh, sorry, my bad.. but your problem..

Coldwell Banker Kalispell Admits to this FRAUD, and Blatant Non-Disclosure but the unsuspecting Real Estate Consumer is left to fight for what they thought they were buying in the first place. The Kalispell Real Estate Consumer reaches out to NMAR director Kathy Schulte (as many other distressed consumers have) and they were turned away, they were told that their was nothing that the Northwest Montana Association of Realtor could do to Help.

rOk, how about the MAR, Montana Association of Realtors, nope, even with proven fraud they defend the Wealthy, Franchised, Tom Burk of Coldwell Banker in Kalispell Montana.
k

Tom is Above the Law you see and Above Ethics.
Kathy Schult of NMAR assures it..r
Seems to be a Common Circumstance among Realogy, Apollo Management owned Companies. Kathy Schulte, did this to one of my Clients also, blatantly standing up for the Realtor who committed obvious and proven fraud because they were "dreamy" and they are a Broker Owner of a Century 21 Office. r

So this Kalispell Real Estate Consumer is left with no way to recover their loss. I know from experience that the (Apollo Management) attorneys will keep you in court for years even if you have a proven fraud case and have lost everything. r

We all know that awhile back Apollo Management bought Realogy, and all their little subsidaries and corporate games owns travel companies, auto rental companies, game companies, relocation companies, and a whole lot of other businesses. r

You also know that recently they went bankrupt, they will regroup, fake a sale or whatever they do to get the illusion off and running again, but in the meantime it is business as usual at C21, Coldwell Banker, ERA and Sotheby's who are ALL owned by this same company. r

Tom Burk of Coldwell Banker in Kalispell Montana announced to his Agents and Staff, according to my sources, that Coldwell Banker will not be around in 5 years.

So If you list and sell, or buy with Coldwell Banker in Kalispell Montana, just know that "They Know" Coldwell Banker" will not be around long term, and therefore your little frivolous lawsuits over lake access, latent defects, and real estate fraud will just be swept away.

If it takes you years to discover latent defects, adverse material facts and flat out lies, that is just to bad because Coldwell Banker, according to Tom Burk, will be gone by then.r

There will be no one to sue.

Coldwell Banker Kalispell knows this. Tom Burk announced to his "Realtors" that Coldwell Banker would not make it 5 years, so why in the world would you trust the Biggest Business of Your Life with a Company that has already announced it's demise to all of it's agents. I would find out more about this folks, your life, your financial future is in their hands if you do business with them.
r

Stop Using Coldwell Banker Kalispell Now. Do your Homework.
Protect your Assets, your Tom Burk's Prey.

The Difference Between Legal Lake Access (Hence Waterfront)
and No Lake Access is worth hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars
and Tom Burk says "This Matter is Closed", Tom Burk says "it was a Clerical Error"
admits it was his error and let's the consumer Flail...

You Are Next.

Note: if C21, Coldwell Banker, ERA and Sotheby's Goes Down
with the fall of Realogy (Apollo Management - Cartus.. what ever name of the week),
then what happens to Realtor.com?

I mean this company also owns, at least in part Realtor.com .. so will the Fall of Coldwell Banker, as Tom Burk Boldly Claims is coming,

will this fall take NAR with it... I Hope So.. Maybe Consumer Protection in Real Estate is on the horizon after all. r

Much - Much More on Tom Burk in Later Posts.r
We will Soon Discuss What Really happen with the start
of Coldwell Banker in Eureka and Why Tom FIRED the
Managing Broker. We will also talk about Tom fearing the
Canadian border guard so he let them out of a real estate transaction,
and much more about the Reality of Realty with Tom Burk,
Coldwell Banker Kalispell Montana.

Offshore Wind Farms in the News

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:15:00 +0000

They Force Wind Farms for the Good of All just as they did when they forced the giant electric power lines through farms and condemned them so the land owners had no choice. In towns like my hometown, the Corp. of Engineers came in and flooded fertile, rich land and created dust bowls and now the area will never be the same and the Land Owners children lost their legacy, their inheritance and their way of life.

Zero Point Energy was used a hundred years ago to power cars. Electricity existed before GIANT powerlines, drilling for gas and oil ever began. And now it is not enough that we are drilling offshore, spilling oil into the oceans, killing the wildlife with these methods.

But now Wind Farms such as the one in controversy off of cape code, they say will definately affect migrating birds, they are VERY Ugly to the coast line and they cost a fortune, oh well, you the American people will pay for it. With Zero Point Energy there is a One

They Jailed men who tried to tell you about it, why ? We have a Right to Free Energy, we have a right to beautiful coasts, to watch migrating birds, and to not have poison in the oceans with oil.

A One time Cost and you Have Free Energy for Decades and it is NOT readily available to you because someone will not make residual money and be able to control you, keep you at work, keep you down.

Maybe they are Afraid of What you Will Do with this Kind of Power. What will you do with your life if you don't have to work so much to pay for Electricity, Gas, Oil.

"The Searl Effect Generator developed in the 1960s is allegedly capable of cheaply and safely producing electricity without fuel, pollution, friction, or noise. Anti-gravity effects also involved.
Now a mock-up version has been produced demonstrating some of the core principles.
"I have known John since 1988 and have watched his work closely since that time. In the last 19 years I have had the privilege of meeting a number of those people who worked with him in the 1960's and 1970's, who have all confirmed the facts John explained in the first couple of years of our friendship."

-- Dr. Terry Moore (Mar. 10, 2007)

In 1968, like many free energy pioneers, Searl was imprisoned on fake charges. In addition there were regular clashes with UK energy monopolies like Otis T Carr had with GM.
The height of Searl's achievement squashed at this point - he had nearly two dozen operational SEGs which were all sequestered, along with his plans. Since being released from jail, he has been seeking to rebuild what he had once achieved.

The Searl-Effect is based on complex rotating magnetic-field effects, and as such is related to the experiments performed by Godin & Roschin, Marcus Hollingshead, KD, and in a very general way even the work that Podkletnov and Ning Li have done with rotating superconductors.
Godin and Roschin replicated a single-ring SEG in Russia and reported that as the device reached 550 rpm that it began to self-accelerate and was enveloped in a bluish glow. Marcus Hollingshead is using a device featuring a unique coil-design, and despite the fact that he had never heard of the SEG while building his device, he claims that his effects of Antigravity and field-effect shielding match the SEG almost perfectly.
Searl SEG Updates - 2008

Good news - the magnetizer (500KiloWatt SEG Printer Magnetizer and major electrical bus panel) is almost done, we are just waiting now for the buffer unit. Progress is good, and when this is done we will be able to magetize the plates and roller sets. "

Highway Patrol Squad ...

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:40:00 +0000

Did you Guys Here this, apparently December was Kalispell Montana's month for this years new Police force that is being called the "Goon Squad". It is said that there are a group of 10 Highway Patrolman that travel from City to City in Montana, spending a month at a time. So they can crack down on traffic tickets. I sure wish there was a Goon Squad cleaning up the streets from Meth Addicts, Dealers, Rapists, and other Crimes that are seeminly going unpunished.. but speeding well watch out .. the Goon Squad will get you.

I heard of 5 cars pulled over in 20 minutes, in the home depot area of Kalispell Montana and given tickets for speeding in a Construction zone when they were well past the Construction Zone.

Seems Like a Scare Tactic, or is it Revenue Montana Needs, I had heard that Montana had plenty of revenue do to Capital Gains tax and other In Money over the last few years.. so Why harass the Citizens of the State, I guess they want you all to Move.

This is a New State of Montana Funded Program that is Hurting innocent people, seems like speeding or not your going to get it randomly.. odd place to focus on Montana Crime in My Opinion...

Should NMAR Run Your Local Government Around? - George Culpepper NMAR Croney

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:17:00 +0000

Yes your Government Needs Your Watchful Eye
but Do Not Trust Your Fate in the Hands of the Realtors.

Realtors Should NOT have “Political Clout” of ANY kind.
r

NMAR has Hired George Culpepper to Make sure they
do not miss a chance to influence your local government.

r
Just Because the Association of Realtor has more money then the general public SHOULD not give them the right to Use their Money - Leverage - and Political Clout there in to their FORCE what ever laws or regulation best suits the needs of the Realtors.

NAR claims that Realtors are of a Higher Standard and that the Realtors are working, seemingly relentless at that in which is the best interest of the Real Estate Consumer. However, in the Real World of Real Estate this is Hardly the Case. Realtors Work for Realtors and well, the Real Estate Consumer gets to Shut up and sign on the dotted line.

NMAR, the local Realtors Association is Self Governed, they run over consumer rights in order to get what they want. They throw around their “political weight” because they can and no government or private agency is strong enough to STOP them. What the Realtors Want the Realtors Get.

You can bet that what the REALTORS want the Flathead County Planning Board to do is Good for the Realtors and is NOT good for the Real Estate Consumers. Nobody seems to be able to stop the Realtors from Relentlessly making noise on whatever local development issue their is of the day - week - year... they push and push .. they Sue.. they Stomp and they Eventually get their way.

“Special Government Affairs Committees” the Realtors on this committee hurt the real estate consumer just as many other Realtor. NMAR does not listen to complaints of Realtors that hurt the real estate consumer, they just plug their ears and leave it up to the attorneys to battle at. Ethics is Certainly NOT top on their agenda.

They Use to tell us that all of us being in the Same room violated Anti-Trust laws.. but hey what the Department of Justice don't know...

I once called a local Managing Broker in the Whitefish Real Estate Market, with a Serious issue about an agent they were supervising, I stated the Ethics, the MLS Policies and the laws that were broken and the managing Broker said that she could not hear my complaint because she was on the Grievance Committee at NMAR.. talk about your conflicts of interest. Funny to Me that NMAR is causing such a stir to Get their Way, and that the Forces that Be cannot seem to Stop them. The Consumer Pays their wages yet their daily agenda seems to be to actively pursue that in which hurts the real estate consumer.

If NMAR now has a PAID employee going to planning and local government meetings then this is certainly one more thing to be alarmed about. The Realtors are gearing up for a Fight, and their real fight is to keep their jobs. If the Realtors and the Developers band together - the Realtors get to sell what the Developers build and the Consumers well they just get to Pay the Bill.

They take a portion of the Real Estate Consumer’s money and they use this money to Lobby agains the consumer and to Hire Designated Snitches and to make a whole lot of NOISE to STOMP on Your Consumers Rights.

What happens at the “government meetings” - at Local Planning Meetings is supposed to be state and local officials deciding what is best for their community, which is what they were “Elected” to do. Yet the REALTORS, with all their might and Billions of Dollars behind them get their way over what is best for you. And though you pay for your Politicians to act on your behalf, the Realtors come in and knock everybody over and take over the show. Which if you ever by and sell real estate is something your paying for as well.

Typically local commissioners – planners and those who hold government office do not have access to a lot of money or to High Powered Attorneys. Typically the Realtors Do have access to a Whole lot of Money and an Endless Array of Big Shot attorneys.

NMAR spends a HUGE amount of money going to Washington DC, as do many other small REALTOR associations to fight for their rights, while the Real Estate Consumer has NO Rights at all. This is a Fact, Realtor Forms - supposed standard REALTOR forms are geared toward protecting the Realtor and they are NOT intended to Protect the Real Estate Consumer.

Realtors are NOT trained in what you think they know and Realtors Do NOT know what you, the real estate consumer NEEDS them to know.

The E and O insurance that the Realtors have Protects the Realtors from the Real Estate Consumer. This is SHOCKING but True, and to make matters worse, in some states it is mandatory that Realtors have E and O insurance. So another words it is Mandatory that those Realtors in those states protect themselve from the frivolous claims - needs and lawsuits of the Real Estate Consumer.

The Realtors FIGHT with all their might to Keep Banks out of Real Estate. The Realtors Bully the For Sale by Owner marketing Companies and even threaten the Local Real Estate Connection magazine with a boycott if they let the FSBO advertise in their magazine.

The Realtors Boycott those who Give the Real Estate Consumer a Discount, they make consumers think that if the Broker is giving you a discount then they are not offering a full service.. Flat Out Lie.

Buyers Rebates have been legal since April, is your Realtor giving you a Buyers Rebate.. no they are too greedy. But if another Broker Gives you Cash Back at Closing the Realtors make the Consumer think that this Broker is not to be trusted or is somehow not as good at their job. I have had MAR, Realtor attorneys tell me it was Illegal to Give a Buyers Rebate and even call it mortgage fraud, saw memos that use scare tactics to Keep Realtor from giving Breaks (Rebates) to the Real Estate Consumer.

Yet when I have Proof of Mortgage Fraud, Flat Out Fraud NO body is listening.. not the FBI who claims they are, not the Department of Justice.. Montana Banking and Commerce claims they are but by the time they move on anything documents are shredded and many more consumers are hurt. No one is looking out for the Real Estate Consumers best interest. It is a Simple Fact.

How Does the Public have a chance against the Realtors?

This Flathead Beacon article, which I have linked to at the bottom of this page, says that Montana is Young in Political activity with Realtors, is this a Flat Out Lie?

Or do they mean they are just more aggressive about it now because their livelihood is at stake? NMAR has been political active for many years. And pushing their political weight around is not NEW. Also MAR ( the Montana Association of Realtors) has also been quite active for quite some time in pushing their political agenda on local government. Yet they claim it is new for them and well watch out because here we come and there is No Stopping us, we are Realtors.

Where are the Realtors, NMAR when consumers are hurt and taken advantage of by the Non-Disclosure, Flat Out Lies and Misleadings of their members?

The Realtors are Self Governed and they Do NOT care about their members who lie to consumers to the point that they lose everything.

NMAR does nothing to make sure that the data in the MLS is correct. Whatever SOLD price the Realtor or their secretary enters, well that’s just the way it is. This data creates an entire real estate market and has no measure in place for quality control.

NMAR does not want to hear about members that hurt consumers. They are not out for justice for the real estate consumer, NMAR is out to Keep their jobs in a day and age where there is not one sensible reason to use a Realtor in your Real Estate Transaction.

NMAR Lobby’s to keep you the Real Estate Consumer out of their Database. Why? IT was your money, your life, your equity and your choice to work with the Realtor that Created the Database but they lobby in political arenas to keep you out of what they deem as "their database". They Get Politically active and they win, you do not get access to your own data.

Yet, it only takes one week to be a Realtor and then after you join the Club and pay the dues, well then you can see the data, Does this Make any Sense?

I know of past NMAR government affairs committee members who have lied to the real estate consumer, who did NOT disclose know problems with home, they Flat Out Lie and deliberatly deceive the Real Estate Consumer to get ahead financially and these are the kind of folks that are on these committees.

You Can bet that if the Association Of Realtors Wants it, then it (what ever it may be) is VERY bad for the Real Estate Consumer and Very Good for the Realtors.

There is NOT one Reason you Need a Realtor In your Real Estate Transaction. The Realtors will NOT go down without a fight, they claim that using a Realtor in your real estate transaction will “Protect You”, in NO WAY does using a Realtor offer you more Protection.

Just because all the Overpaid Realtors stand up for something does not mean it is what should be. The public may not even show up to fight, they know that they can not win against the Real Estate Cartel known as the Association of Realtors.

I am sure that the members of NMAR will NOT appreciate this POST. However, being an Ex-Member of NMAR I am VERY familiar with how the game is played. And I Do NOT appreciate the Tactics, lack of Ethics enforcement and Severe lack of consumer protection that goes on at NMAR – the Local Association of Realtors.

This article says that “In response to what they perceive as an increasingly regulatory environment for development” YOU have Got to Be Kidding. Kalispell, in particular has let so many developmenst go in that the infrastructure is buckling.

I have heard that Emergency Response and other area agencies cannot keep up with the growth. The County Governing body has been pushed – force and bullied by the Realtor and the Builders so much that Foreclosures have gone way up, homes sit empty, commercial space is practically begging for tenants and the insatiable appetite of the Big Builders – Develops and the Real Estate Cartel, (REALTORS) are calling for more development – more building, truly when does the Reign of the Realtor END.

Where does this bullying STOP? Why is the Rights of the Real Estate Consumer NOT Top Priority? Why do the Rights for the Realtors and the Developers to Make More Money mean more then the rights of the real estate consumers or what is really best for the Flathead Valley as a Whole?

The Realtors create quite a stir every time they don’t get their way. Who stands up for you when things don't go your way?

So the Cry Baby Association of Realtors is mad and throwing a tantrum because there may actually be some regulations to slow down the over development that is going on in the Flathead Valley.

And well the Realtors are going to stomp their feet and throw their weight around until the local government agencies give in (either because they can’t stand the stress of it or cannot afford to fight the Realtors.

This article says The Realtors are “ramping up their political activity to unprecedented levels”. Be Scared Consumers, be very scared, the Realtors will get their way. The National Association of Realtors is a Multi-Billion Dollar Company and they are not going to let anything stand in their way to getting what they want.

You better just give up now. The Realtor own the local planning and development process when they can Huff and Puff – Throw Money and Stomp their feet and End up Eventually get their way. NO Private Person – No Government agency can Out Last – Out Stand – Out Fight – Out Spend the Association of Realtors … YOU Lose.

The Department of Justice gave up their fight with the Realtors, they “Settled” because they could not keep fighting and they could not get the Realtors to Admit to Anti-Trust Violations though the Realtors Really do Violate Anti-Trust Laws.

A Realtor Paid “government affairs director” – George Culpepper - jotting down notes to take back to NMAR, how intriguing. A Realtor snitch running back to the Board of Realtors, who is Self Governed, and telling on the County for making decisions that are in the best interest of the County. Once the “Snitch” tells NMAR – they get everybody together and they attack the rights of the Residence of Flathead County, and most of the Time they Win.

If NMAR has hired a Full Time “government affairs director” – watch out, the Realtors know that they are not needed. The Realtors know that with the Internet it is easier – cheaper and offers more protection for Buyers and Sellers to work together directly.

So they are rallying, the are ramping up their fight. The actually fight is for Realtors to keep their jobs when really you Do Not Need a Realtor in your Real Estate Transaction and in Fact, using a Realtor in your Real Estate Transaction will cause more harm then good.

This article says that this NMAR paid for “government affairs director” “expanded his political influence when he was appointed to the Flathead County planning board.” There is No end in sight to the Affiliations, Corruptions, Bullying, and Forceful tactics of the Association of Realtors.

Why is this NMAR Paid Snitch now on the planning board, my guess, Flathead County could not take the pressure the Realtors were putting on them so they let this NMAR PAID for “government affairs director” on Your Flathead Valley Planning Board.

Inside Information, Conflict of Interest, Lack of Consumer Protection – Now the Realtors are in Charge of the Fate of Flathead Valley and what this means is that Realtors will get to keep their jobs for awhile longer in the Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana.

The Realtors join with the Builders and Sue the County, and now this guy is on the County Board, it reeks of a take over to me. Developers and Realtors banding together in numbers and money and taking over Your Government which is no longer of the People, by the People, for the People.

Your Government is Now for the Realtors, for the Developers and well - You, the Real Estate Consumers, those of you who elected and pay for these government agencies to do right by you… well YOU LOSE.

Political Motives – Corruption – Lawsuits – Getting Positions on Boards – Bullying – Conflicts of Interest - … I Guess it is Obvious Who is Running the Flathead Valley –it is the Association of Realtors.

Doesn't operate that way

Spirited public debate is a cornerstone of the American political system. We have seen plenty of it at Whitefish City Council meetings, and although at times it may be uncomfortable, I would argue that it is a positive thing, resulting in better public policy.

Comments made by the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors in a May 23 article in the Daily Inter Lake, however, crossed the line.

In the article, NMAR's paid spokesperson, George Culpepper, Jr., implied that the city was acting in an underhanded fashion, and furthermore, that the city might engage in a coverup.Let me say this once, loud and clear, for everyone to hear -- the city does not operate that way.During my two-year tenure on the city council, I'm happy to say that I've seen no evidence of unethical conduct on the part of the council or city staff.

To the contrary, I have observed a culture of carefully following the law, the intent of the law, and beyond that, of just doing what is "right." Whether they agree with individual policies or not, the citizens of this community can feel proud of their city and the way it conducts business.

I called Mr. Culpepper to express my dismay at his statements. He does not have any evidence of the city behaving improperly or hiding anything.A free and open debate on the issues is healthy. But unfounded accusations of conspiracy and coverups only serve to divide us unnecessarily, and are a disservice to the community.

I invite NMAR to instead work with the city cooperatively.

"The city," after all, is really just your neighbors. There are areas where we could work together for the benefit of all.For example, there's no denying that the city's Critical Areas Ordinance has presented the real estate agents that the NMAR represents with a new challenge in terms of understanding the effects of the ordinance and knowing how to advise their clients. Real estate agents need accurate information about the requirements of the ordinance for various types of properties.

I offer to work with NMAR and city planning staff to develop an informative document tailored to the needs of the real estate community. Planning staff could also host a question-and-answer session regarding the Critical Areas Ordinance for real estate agents and other interested members of the community. I will be contacting the NMAR board shortly to follow up on these ideas. Let's work together. Nancy Woodruff is a Whitefish city councilor.

Whitefish, County Brace for Lengthy Legal Battle

webmaster@northwestmontana.com (Crystal L. Cox) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:43:00 +0000

There is no shortage of litigation conversation in Whitefish these days, with plenty of indication that the city’s decision to sue Flathead County is only the first of what could be a series of lawsuits involving the “planning doughnut” and the critical areas ordinance.

City Attorney John Phelps has publicly acknowledged he expects the city to be sued. But until that happens, both the city and county will have their hands full with Whitefish’s current litigation. On March 13, Flathead County commissioners voted 2-1 to rescind a 2005 interlocal agreement that gave Whitefish final land-use power in a jurisdiction outside of city limits – the doughnut area. Then on March 17 the Whitefish City Council voted to sue the county and Phelps subsequently asked the Flathead County District Court for a temporary restraining order to prevent commissioners from acting outside of the interlocal agreement until the city gets a hearing.

Phelps had previously warned in a letter to commissioners: “Do not underestimate our resolve.” “An effective working relationship between the city and the county depends on forthrightness, honor, and fair dealing between their elected officials,” Phelps wrote to commissioners. “If the Flathead County commissioners cannot be relied upon to honor an agreement of this stature, what credibility do they retain?”Other parties are already getting involved too.

Sean Frampton, who has been the attorney in the only two major lawsuits Whitefish has lost since Phelps came to office, said he plans to file a motion to intervene in Whitefish’s lawsuit against the county. Frampton is arguing that the interlocal agreement was invalid from its inception for a variety of reasons.

One of his main arguments is that, based on his readings of interlocal statutes, an interlocal agreement can provide Whitefish with planning privileges in an extraterritorial jurisdiction, but not zoning power.“There are many, many reasons why I see this agreement isn’t valid,” Frampton said.

At recent city council meetings, members of the public have expressed concern that the city is being cavalier in its approach to the perceived inevitability of litigation.

At one meeting Councilor Nick Palmer said he wasn’t too worried about lawsuits after passing the critical areas ordinance because the city has the “legal equivalent of Joe DiMaggio” in Phelps.

George Culpepper Jr., government affairs director for the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors (NMAR), warned that the city should be more cautious. Culpepper said NMAR is discussing litigation against Whitefish, though nothing has been hammered out.

NMAR and the Whitefish Council

I know you folks know more about this then I do. Email me your Story at Crystal@SavvyBroker.com or post your comment here. Or start a discussion at our Whitefish News Forum Here.

I have heard that in the NMAR is in some sort of Lawsuit against the Whitefish Council. Apparently NMAR wants to investigate the actions, payroll and other pertinent details to and surrounding council members. I am not sure if this is on the behalf of Consumer Protection or if it is a way for the Realtors to Huff and Puff and throw a big fit to get the Whitefish Council to Do as they Say.

I am sure that NMAR should be focusing its efforts on policing it's own industry. NMAR does not do Audits of it's members to make sure that the data they enter into the MLS is correct, NMAR is not concerned or even cares to hear about members who have failed to disclose which led to severe losses of real estate consumers. There is so many Ethics and Consumer Protection issues that NMAR could be fighting for. But instead they use their Power - Numbers - Money and Attorney access to Push for More Development. While at the Same time the Real Estate consumer is buckling under the weight of the stress and financial damage NMAR members have done to them. Yet NMAR will not hear of this, they do nothing that really benefits the Real Estate Consumer, all in the Name of Consumer Protection and what is "Really" best for the Community.

Bullying ? Cartel ? Real Estate Mafai ? and they call it
a "Higher Standard of Practice".
