All of these guys donate directly to Don Perata. Joe Tuman spoke directly about cronyism at the last mayoral forum. Let’s talk about the so called transit village.

The transit village project is being handled by the Aegis Group

http://www.aegisrealty.com/

Aegis used to use a certain political lobbying company (unregistered of course) by the name of the Enterprise Group for dealings with a little company called PPD Merritt I, LLC.

PPD sold its project property to the City at a great profit and avoided foreclosure as a result of the CEDA.

The kicker is that Enterprise Group is/was Walter Cohen the current Director of CEDA.

Talk about cronyism. The whole thing is a back room deal.

The connection to CEDA director Walter Cohen and Don Perata is clear as a bell. The insiders are making millions on these deals and the only one who seems to care is Joe Tuman. Did you hear him talk about the cronies at the forum at holy names? He actually stood up for this part of the discussion.

Aegis=PPD=enterprise group=desilva=greg fisher=Walter Cohen=DON PERATA = Valdez Property = Transit Village?!?. For God Sake, No one thinks this is a problem?! Where the hell is the FBI!

What about all the poor saps that don’t have the money to defend themselves against a federal government that has endless resources. Without that money he would have been part of the 98% that pleads.
