A former Encinitas City Council member may have violated state conflict-of-interest laws by voting to approve a project from a real estate developer in which she held investments, according to campaign finance experts.
Allison Blackwell, who served on the council as the District 1 representative from January 2023 until the end of last year, cast multiple votes in favor of the Piraeus Point development during her time in office.
Since Blackwell had a living trust set up with a significant investment holding in Lennar Corporation — the real estate developer behind the Piraeus Point — these votes appear to have violated conflict of interest rules set by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), according to multiple former FPPC regulators interviewed by The Coast News.

a super small percentage that barely amounts to anything
ReplyDeleteIf the assets were transferred to a Living Trust, then the Trust itself is the legal owner, not the person who created the trust.
DeleteI’m not an expert but my understanding is that it is a conflict of the project being voted on is material to the business. Is this project material to a company with over 34B in annual revenues? I don’t know how that’s defined legally, but I seriously doubt approval moved the stock price at all.
ReplyDeleteBut if it’s determined to be material, then I think they have to go back and redo those votes.
Maybe Luke will vote to shoot construction workers on that site too, and then minutes later vote to approve it.
People say it’s time to defend DEI wokeism and the way to do that is by destroying Teslas and Tesla Dealerships. First it was just violent rhetoric, now it’s happening. Only a matter of time until Luke invites similar terrorism and people really do take up rifles for the cause. Next thing you know- after the suggestion is made people started trying to assassinate the President. Do better Luke—and apologize for your disgusting words.
DeleteAww Amanda there you go again.
DeleteInspector Rachel at it again. What a pathetic existent she has. I’m embarrassed for her husband and family. Carlsbad troll.
ReplyDeleteI love Rachel and despise the freak show.
Delete401. Rachel is brilliant. Blackwell not so much. Why did this happen?
DeleteRachel is smart. She's also a lying twat. One doesn't offset the other.
DeleteHas-been Blackwell, debby downer Joy, planning commissioner chairman no less, Steve Dalton all on the take. Curiouser and curiouser. Who else is in bed with developers? Who is not?
ReplyDeletemuch ado about nothing
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they will investigate this because now maybe people will realize how off Natalie and Rachel are. Mountains out of molehills, always jumping to the wrong conclusions, conspiracies, and never willing to actually listen to others
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the local heroes Natalie and Rachel.
DeleteSo good 👏👏👏💪
Oh please. Can’t stand hearing Natalie and her excessive vocal fry at the council meetings
DeleteRachel and Natalie spend half their time on this blog posting congratulatory compliments to each other. So obvious it's fun to see.
Deleteher investment was UNDER the amount that poses a conflict
ReplyDeleteBruce is praying so hard that the FPPC doesn’t throw out the vote.
ReplyDeleteThat would mean he has to publicly scold, cheerlead, and beg his running mates to approve the project.
Best case scenario is he loses more support from his broken promises. Worst case is he fails and builders remedy creates a bunch of high rises and Bruce and his MAGA colleagues will take the blame.
Bruce is begging the FPPC to not reopen the approval.
Two problems: first, she was not the "deciding vote" as the project was approved by 3 others. Second see the first point as well as this is a done deal and nothing Grover touches was not approved and paid for in advance.
ReplyDeleteI hope they throw out the vote just to watch this incompetent council implode.
ReplyDeleteSee 4:53. There's no throwing out what Blakespear and Kranz did to us. Paydays locked in.
DeletePut Blackwell in jail and put Blakespear in prison.
ReplyDeletePut Tony in a dunce farm.
Imagine the self-inflicted wound if crazy Rachel and co get the approval overturned.
ReplyDeleteThat gives the current council the choice between voting to approve and fully owning another high density development and showing they were full of shit all along, or rejecting the application and ushering in the ruinous builders remedy cementing their status as the worst council ever.
Can we discuss something more interesting and relevant?
ReplyDeleteLike the extremely low IQ doth protesters Cardiff kooking yesterday.
I'm hearing from good sources they were paid protesters and the daily pay was a $6 certificate to wellgreens and one free fish taco at Valero.
Good times!

DeletePut Blackwell in prison.,
lol dummy the most she could get about this is a fine and a slap on the wrist from the FPPC. Prison is not an option and you can’t undo the vote
DeleteBlackwell deserves prison time, And to be punted out of Encinitas along with Grant and Blakespear.
DeleteYou can take kindergarten Kelly in Arizona Joy with you too.
Hey, the bike trap implementation team, including Jennifer parks and rec manager now, city manager, and her engineering blunders are meeting with the city council to talk about their gimp infused designs.
ReplyDeleteSo tell me, why does Bruce support this failed team?
I would’ve never saw that months after the new city Council is in place this team responsible for the death of citizens would still be leading the cities charge.
May wonders never cease?

ReplyDeleteSteve? No, he works.
Rachel? No, she doesn't live here.
Natalie? Yeah, that's it!
Oh, Steve, Rachel, and Natalie. 👍
DeleteYou’re talking about our local heroes. 😍👏👏💪
Everyone loves her honest, concise truthful information about the happenings in Encinitas and their recommendations to City Council.
They are absolutely the best.
They don’t get paid, but they should. They provide much more factual information than the fucked up staff, including the parks and rec manager that Bruce just promoted to City Manager. What a sad joke on the residents that was.
How about the staff that’s still employed by taxpayers who continually designed roads where people get killed,
There is a question for you:
What results in more resident and visitors kills per year 1)The NCTD Coasteror or current City Hall staff that Bruce just promoted?
* What results in more resident and visitors kills per year 1)The NCTD Coaster or 2) the current City Hall staff that Bruce just promoted?
DeleteSorry 5:19, you're way off on this one. They're annoying as fuck, all three of them.
Delete👆🏾 ignorant comment. Rejected.
DeleteDear FPPC,
ReplyDeletePlease declare all votes that Blackwell cast in approval of the Lennar project void, and send them back to the current city council for reconsideration.
I ask this not because I think her vote was conflicted, but rather because I want to see these MAGA dipshits expose their incompetence faster so we can get rid of them as soon as possible.
If you send the matter back for reconsideration, at least one of them is likely to threaten to shoot Tommy Lunchbucket and then minutes later vote to approve the project. Some of them will vote to destroy Encinitas with builders’ remedy high-rises. One of them will push to close debate and vote without understanding what a motion and a second is. And poor old Bruce after running as the guy who would stop development will again be forced to beg his dipshit colleagues to approve the project, exposing himself as a fraud.
In the end, after all the performative outrage and threats of violence, they’ll have to either approve the project and own it, or approve builders’ remedy destruction of Encinitas.
Either way, they’ll be exposed as clown folk who sold voters a bill of goods.
Please make it happen FPPC.
If that’s how you think things work and that’s what you think the FPPC does, you best take the time you spend on here to go study up so you can stop embarrassing yourself.
DeleteRevote!
DeleteMaybe this time they will vote to approve the development exactly as before, but with a sternly worded sticky note that says they are sad.
Delete*** City of Encinitas Real Time News***
ReplyDeleteAfter numerous pedestrian and bike kills over the last year, I'd say Encinitas did not address its safety emergency. It still has the same failed team in place that has brought disastrous and deathly results.
To help prepare for Wednesday's joint meeting between the Traffic Commission and the City Council below is the no. 1 question to ask the City Council at beginning of the meeting.
What results in more resident and visitors kills per year
1)The NCTD Coaster, or
2) the current City Hall staff that Bruce just promoted?
LOL, Lennar stock price is down since the Piraeus vote.
ReplyDeleteRevote!
ReplyDeleteLukeJimBruce needs to take a stand publicly and demand that the FPPC send this back for a revote to remedy the conflict.
Come on guys. This is your chance to fulfill your promises! Voters demand that you speak up publicly.
DOW is down another 600 points.

Economy collapsing.
DeleteShithole losers clap like drunken seals.
Someone here should run for public office. The illusion they live under might be brought back to some sort of reality.
ReplyDeleteOk poster, you endlessly and repeatedly, you are the repetition guy after all, have questions you think should be addressed by the new majority. How about you speaking before the council during public comments? It is there for you during every council meeting to say your piece. Step up for a change.
This is yet another Crazy Rachel conspiracy. A big ol' nothing burger. Blackwell's votes on the project did not and could not change the outcome-- therefore, no public harm came from the approval of the project. It would have been approved even if she had abstained. And IF the FPPC even bothers to investigate, what then?
ReplyDeleteLikely a slap on the wrist and an advisory letter, educating Ms Blackwell on ethics. No public harm, no penalty, not even a fine.
A complaint can be resolved in several ways depending on the strength of the evidence, the particular facts, and the amount of public harm involved. If there is insufficient evidence to prosecute and no further information would be helpful or informative or the allegation has been disproven, a case may be closed with a no action closure letter. If there is insufficient evidence to prosecute but the person complained about appears to need information about the Act to ensure future compliance, a case may be closed with an advisory letter. If the seriousness of the offense and public harm are low, a warning letter may be issued identifying a violation of the Act but concluding a monetary fine is not warranted. Finally, if the case merits pursuit of a fine, the Enforcement Division will prosecute the violators and may seek penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, which must be approved by the Commissioners.
Blackwell and many others around here are Jasmine Crockett clones or basically stupid fucking idiots.
ReplyDeleteThat being said this particular subject about Blackwell buying 3 shares of overpriced LEN isn't the flex you think it is.
Ms. Jasmine Crockett could wipe the floor with you any time any day on any subject.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned clowns and stupid f'in idiots. They are staring blankly back at you in your mirror every day.
Sell all US Stock. The country is run by shithole losers who are turning it into Alabama. Canada, Mexico, China, and all other major trading partners are turning away and isolating America, which is about to enter the Great, Beautiful, Trump Depression. "Nobody does depressions like me."
ReplyDeleteInvest in European defense contractors. Thales, SAAB, BAE Systems, Rheinmetall. US allies are waking up to the fact that we are now an unreliable Russian proxy. Not only are they about to build up their militaries massively, they will drop US suppliers because the use of US-made weapons is restricted by actions the US government approves, which is now controlled by Putin. So the US defense industrial base is going down the tubes, and European firms will now supply what remains of the free and democratic world.
Also, all nations will be pursuing nuclear weapons, because the US failed to live up to it's treaty obligations to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine. Treaty obligations that were agreed to in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The message is clear. Acquiring and keeping a significant nuclear arsenal is essential for every small country that wants to survive in the future.
Expect nuclear proliferation on a massive scale. With the threats made to Canadian, Panamanian, and Mexican sovereignty, expect them to acquire nukes pointed at the US to deter US aggression.
This is what happens when shithole losers are in charge.

DeleteCrazy Rachel and her tactics follow the MAGA playbook. She constantly makes claims that are verified false and she knows they're false. Yet she doubles down on her lies for weeks then later pretends she never said any of those things.

Look who Bruce selected to lead the discussions about road design in Encinitas.
Its the same team that planned and build the current dissasters on Sante Fe Drive, Coast Hwy101 deadly sharrow conditions, numerous door/death zones, and bike traps.
Whats needed is for the City Council to pull their head out and hire a better leadership team at City Hall.
City Council - Can you please watch a simple video and direct some simple actions?

Listen to experts. Do not listen to your retarded City Staff named on this staff report.
This current team is the same team put in place by AZ Joy- the one failed developer conflicted City Council member who deserves jail time for destroying Encinitas including promoting gridlock throughout our entire City.
Help! Please save Encinitas from these ongoing deadly mistakes.

So this is what the end of America looks like. Congratulations shithole losers.
ReplyDeleteYou may not personally like USAID or the Department of Education, but their establishment and funding were hammered out through bi-partisan compromise in Congress. You know, democracy. Your side got things it wanted as part of that compromise. Right now a bad precedent is being set that the executive branch can ignore those compromises and destroy half a deal.
What comes around goes around.
You should expect a populist leftist to use these powers in the future.
Wealthy Republican donors (maybe you) will have portfolios and real estate simply confiscated and sold as we balance the budget. Federal spending to boost the economies of shithole red states like military bases and shipyards will be redirected or just stopped. Churches will be taxed or have assets confiscated.
Courts and laws won’t matter. Records will be destroyed and all involved will be pardoned.
When (not if) this happens, don’t whine about it.
Because this is what you wanted.
Congratulations. You are winning.

DeleteConfiscate excessive assets, jets, yachts, and second homes. Use it to pay for universal healthcare. Use Silicon Valley, AI, and hacker tools to identify and tax Bitcoin and illegal offshore assets in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland, and wire them back into the US for confiscation.

DeleteThe psychological rotting of the leftist soul also manifests physically as the spirit of darkness begins destroying the natural light and love carried within.
ReplyDeleteFaces begin to look tired, drained, soulless and barren of joy. You can see the results over time.
Carrying that outlook, the professional political left can only destroy things, tear down things, attack things; they have no capacity to build anything, to enhance anything, to promote and create beauty or value in the world around them.
That's why leftists are always trying to tear down people, companies, groups and systems.
Leftism is a humorless, joyless, narrow spiral existence that erodes the life spirit of the person.
Look around you the confirmation is everywhere
Every accusation is a confession in the cult of violence and lies.
