A bill to stop the proposed Liberty Quarry near Temecula cleared its first Senate committee Tuesday but will likely go no further for the remainder of the legislative year.
Members of the Senate Natural Resources Committee had a unanimous message to quarry developer Granite Construction and the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, which sponsored the measure to protect what it considers to be its site of creation.
Make a deal.
"Don't get to the checkmate stage. You really have to get to the point where you...try and work this out," said state Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, who had a similar, years-long dispute in her district. Otherwise, she said, "there is never an end to this."

Again Pechanga council another month without a tribal meeting. What is the council afraid of maybe how did John Macarro have a tribal credit card to use for personal use? He does not have an elected position and why is he not fired for abuse of tribal money. Then john and Mark Macarro sold there million dollar homes at a lost. When asked John Macarro said because per cap has went down. Now as far as I know per cap has not went down unless john knows that it’s going down and their not tell the members about it. Now john Owens three million dollar homes as far as I know not many members own million dollar homes lest of three of them. John’s wife is not a member but she work at the government center that must be it. First holly now John wife. Then there the question of how john is the head of Pechanga legal council and he doesn’t have a license to practice law in California.
" Again Pechanga council another month without a tribal meeting "
I don't know why, but it makes one wonder. Last time they went so long without a meeting was just before disenrolling a large extended family. I'm not saying that this is in the works, but it does make one wonder what is going on.
IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER! THEY SAY PER CAP IS DOWN, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I THINK THE PROBLEM LIES IN THAT THEY NEED MORE MONEY TO "KEEP UP THE EXTRAVADENT LIFESTYLE." LIKE CALIFORNIAS' POLITICAL STRUCTURE ROUTINELY SPENDS MORE THEN THEY TAKE IN, SO DOES THE "MACARRO CARTEL," SO OF COURSE "THEY NEED MORE MONEY." LEST US HIDE AND WATCH HOW "MARK AND HIS HENCHMEN" GO ABOUT DEFRAUDING THE PECHANGA INDIAN NATION FOR THEIR OWN "GREED!" SELLING THEIR HOMES...AT A LOSS, I MIGHT ADD, IS ONLY A TEMPORARY INFLUX OF CAPITAL. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO INCREASE THEIR PERCAP. LAST TIME IT WAS DISENROLLING LEGITMATE NATIVE AMERICANS FROM THE MEMBERSHIP. COULD IT BE THAT THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN? WATCH OUT PECHANGA MEMBERSHIP, THEY DID IT TO US "HUNTERS'" (ILLEGALLY, I MIGHT ADD), SO WHY SHOULD YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE SAFE FROM "MARK AND HIS HENCHMEN?" WELL YOUR NOT! YOU BETTER KNOW THAT IF YOU DON'T TAKE DOWN THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CHAIRMAN, YOU CON-SEEV-ABLY COULD BE NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK FOR DISENROLLMENT SO AS TO FEED MARK'S IN-SASH-ABLE THIRST (FOR NOTHING MORE THEN GREED, AND POLITICAL POWER) TO KEEP HIMSELF IN THE LIFESTYLE HE THINKS HE "DESERVES!" MARK DOESN'T GIVE A RATS A.. ABOUT YOU (THE MEMBERSHIP) OR JUSTICE AT PECHANGA; JUST HIS INFLATED LIFESTYLE. AND YOU AT PECHANGA HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE THAT HAVE FALLEN FROM "GRACE?" DON'T LET THIS SORRY S.O.B. FOR A CHAIRMAN PURGE THE MEMBERSHIP...AGAIN...FOR HIS QUEST FOR MORE PER CAP. "MARK IS A VILE CANCER" AND WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO FURTHER HIS INSASHABLE GREED AND "PECHANGA BE DAMNED!" YOU, THE TRIBAL COUNCIL AND MEMBERSHIP KNOWS THAT THIS IS TRUE. I WORN YOU! IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. MARK WILL LIE, CHEAT, AND FALSIFY WHAT EVER HE NEEDS TOO. DO NOT LET THE "FOX (MARK) IN THE HENHOUSE (THE MEMBERSHIP) EAT HIS NEXT MEAL (YOU). PECHANGA: YOU HAVE THE ABILITY AND MEANS TO TAKE "MARK" DOWN...."NOW DO YOUR JOB!" PECHANGA CAN THEN FINALLY...."HEAL".....FROM THE WOUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SO SAVAGELY INFLICTED ON US BY THE GREEDY AND CORRUPT "MACARRO CARTEL." MARK THINKS HE'S "ABOVE THE LAW," AND OUR "CONSTITUTION AND BY LAWS" MEANS NOTHING TO HIM. OR IF YOU DON'T TAKE "MARK" DOWN YOUR FORSEEABLE FUTURE IS "BLEEK AT BEST!".....SO IT IS UP TO YOU.....PECHANGA........OR YOU "WILL SUFFER THE CON-SE-QUENT-SES OF (MARKS) RATH!"
With no meetings, members cannot bring up "other business". Power members might be off for the summer vacation period and not want anything to happen from other members.

NOW THAT IS A SOBERING ANALAGY! WITH MARK, THE EVIL CHAIRMAN "IN CHARGE!" JUST THINK.....GET DISENROLLED WHILE ON VACATION! AFFAID OF THE "BIG BAD WOLF?" CAN'T SAY I BLAME THEM WITH "MARK" LOOKING FOR WAYS TO INCREASE HIS PERCAP! MARK PLAYED THE OLD "BAIT AND SWITCH" GAME ON US "HUNTERS' WHEN THEY VOTED OUT DISENROLLMENTS AND A YEAR LATER DID IT ANYWAY SO WE COULDN'T FIGHT IT. SO LISTEN UP, PECHANGA, YOU ARE NOT SAFE FROM HIS (MARKS) RATH. YOU KNOW IT AND WE KNOW IT! TREAD EASY, FOR IF YOU DON'T GET RID OF THAT SORRY EXCUSE FOR A GREEDY CHAIRMAN (MARK), YOU WHO, HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE, COULD, AND PROBABLY WILL BE NEXT TO BE SACRIFICED FOR HIS POCKETBOOK. CAN'T SAY IT ANY PLAINER THEN THAT!
pechanga will get its way and the county has already caved in--no morals/ look at issa from vista he always has his nose up here at pechanga the dues have been paid. the quarry deal is over. it was over before it began people
YAH, YOUR PROBABLY RIGHT ABOUT THE QUARRY. "MARK" PLAYING HIS "BAIT AND SWITCH" ROUTINE. HE SAYS ONE THING ABOUT PROTECTING THE LAND, THEN, LIKE THAT GOLF COURSE FIASCO, DOES THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. HE IS SUCH A LYING SNAKE IN THE GRASS. GREED AND POLITICAL POWER IS HIS ONLY AGENDA. CORRUPTION IN A NUT SHELL.
Get a life. Pechanga follows its own way. The non-members show they lack understanding of this way by ranting and speculating foolishly and negatively as to this or that schedule or trivial matters. Grow up, learn to spell, and find your own way in this life. Anger, confusion, and ignorance now govern your outlook. Heat, no light. Think positive, while turning your face to the sun. Enjoy your precious moments in a bright frame of mind.
To turn a blind eye to greed and corruption is a crime in its self. So if Pechanga ways are to lie and cheat your own members then don’t tell me not to say anything of matters not on the reservation.
Mark Macarro has disenrolled tribal members illegally by Pechanga’s own constitution and by-laws. His brother John Macarro is head of Pechanga’s legal council and doesn’t have a license to practice law in California. He was caught spending an official Pechanga credit card for his own personal gain. He was not fired or prosecuted. Is this Pechanga’s own way to steal and rob?

Good stuff, but this is about current conditions, endangered businesses, and population. Especially the desires and will-of-the-people that are being stampeded by Granite and the bureaucracy. The most important issues involve the inalienable ownership rights protected by the state and federal constitutions.
Now that the Indians have acquired some political influence after being totally displaced and dehumanized, does anyone hold this against them to protect what little might be preserved???
hahaha bull!
WHAT....PROTECT WHAT LITTLE MIGHT BE PRESERVED? THAT ISN'T IN MARK MACARRO'S PLAY BOOK. HE DOESN'T GIVE A RATS A.. ABOUT PRESERVING ANYTHING FOR THE GOOD OF PECHANGAS' HERITAGE...SAY THE GOLF COURSE, ON LAND THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE UNTOUCHED. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT MARK HAS DONE TO MAKE LIFE ON THE REZ A LITTLE BETTER FOR ALL THAT LIVE THERE? I THINK NOT. JUST WHAT HE AND HIS HENCHMEN CAN DO TO LINE THE POCKETBOOK. HE (MARK) DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING BUT FOR HIS OWN ..."GREED."
Ok,there is no per cap down noway and now they made 80,000 or 100,000 per cap every month did you know that . Also mark wife she also have two different tribes that why mark married her for that reason! Please check out www.susanbradford.org
