Have you considered getting an attorney, one that would work on a contingency basis so you don't have to come up with any funds?
I have considered an attorney. That's why I'm representing myself. They won't take it on a contingency basis and want a ton of money pledged in their account. But, someone else has been reading about me and Johnson....
I received an email from an organization affiliated with Harvard Law School, who say they are dedicated to educating and assisting speakers who suffer threats or face legal repercussions for their "online" speech. So, towards that purpose, they maintain a database (http://www.citmedialaw.org/database )of lawsuits and threats as a resource for others who find themselves in similar situations. So, they are putting together a data base entry regarding the Johnson Utilities lawsuit against me and why? Because they believe this is an important case. They want me to share court findings with them and to help me. That may be my catharsis.
I will be working with them and people like them. Will I counter sue? I will decide after I speak to them.
Just be careful what you say on here. They are checking on here to see if any others want to join me. P.m. me with important or private information, otherwise feel free to talk on line. I'm doing this for everyone not just myself. I don't like being strong armed to silence and no one else should have to experience this, especially from a utility provider for the public. UnAmerican.
p.s. you should appeal your taxes on that lot I sold you.

I just returned from my court appearance regarding J.U. lawsuit against me. There will be several others, as Mr. Johnson has chosen to take this all the way to a trial by Jury. Someone mentioned to me that that is his way of making me suffer. Suffer for what? Repeating his character attributes that have been discussed publicly over and over again? Repeating his violations, 100's of them, that are public record? Disclosing the consequences of drinking his water, supported by the Blue Baby Syndrome information which is mentioned in his Annual Water Report to the customers, and of inhaling Ecoli, which is of public record? For asking him to STOP putting us in danger I am being sued? Crying out for safe water and for the supplier to obey the law is slander? Will they be able to find a jury that has not heard of George Johnson?
I need witness's, including expert witness's. I am representing myself, so the more the better. I am contemplating counter suing Mr. Johnson, for all the misery he has brought to me and to the other users out here. He has brought pain, suffering and emotional distress to many of us, thru his egregious behaviors, and the people say it's time to stop those behaviors. And the psychological abuse he is inflicting on me and others must stop, by filing this frivolous lawsuit which is bringing upon me mental and emotional anguish. I even called Johnson's attorney, leaving him a message that I want to settle this as I am suffering already emotionally and financially thru the economic crisis and because his client (J.U.) had caused another spill to occur since the suit, so his chances of winning are slim. He did not call me back, but instead proceeded with the suit. My friend said it's because he wants you to suffer more.
A Criminal lawsuit is for gross negligence or willful disregard for the rights of others. This is a civil lawsuit for punitive damages. I wonder?
In my research, I discovered many people who have had "contact" with him, and state that for his destruction of property and people lives, that he should be charged criminally. They stated that he is a repeat violator of the law, with malice and injury to animals and people occurring, and should be held accountable.
At this point, they don't plan on taking depositions, but instead calling witness to the trial. That could change. So, I will be subpoenaing some of you who have been involved in this, including newspaper reporters, tv reporters, George Johnson, Pinal County, ADEQ and others who participated in the actions he is suing me for or had contact with Mr. Johnson during this time regarding me and the spills.
If anyone has access to any court proceedings of George Johnson with other lawsuits, I would appreciate knowing how to acquire them. Also, any other action that someone might have had with him that will support my claim of my innocence and the right to free speech and to support justice for his repeat violations of the law, would be appreciated.
I would also like to acknowledge that while in court, awaiting my time, there were three other people in there.......lawsuits brought against them by the Lenders for foreclosing on their homes. One lady was just a tenant, who paid the rent but the landlord kept the money. She was not aware. She has 5 children, and the courts ruled she must be out within 5 days. Justice and for whom?
Does anyone know if Lennar Homes lawsuit against Johnson and Pinal County was ever settled? In it they stated he had an "evil" mind and callous disregard.
Feel free to p.m. me if you choose not to disclose on here.

| I received the same letter in my JU bill. They are seeking higher waste rates and "supposedly lower" water rates.

| We've been through this before. You need to get ahold of Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality. They have a website where you can fill out a complaint form. I think it is under the Compliance link if memory serves me right.

You should first ask to speak to a Corporation Commissioner. Bill Mund was sympathetic to our causes out here, so if he hasn't left office yet, call him. He's a public official. If not him, then ask to speak to his secretary. She can tell you who to contact at ADEQ.
Bill and another guy were the only two who voted against Johnson getting the right to serve the people with another plant out here and with the raising of rates.. The rest of the Commissioners said he could, as long as he resolved the violations with ADEQ. It would appear to me that with these additional violations Johnson has incurred, that those rates should remain constant and that he is still in violation of the Law....., that might cause them to take a second look. I hope it causes the judge to take a good look at the plantiff in my case. I am going to win this case as justice is on my side. Some have said that J.U. sues for defamation of character and slander against the little guy, as he knows that there is no home insurance company that will represent the homeowners with legal assistance on a defamation lawsuit..... except Farmers Ins. Some say that that is the way he gets the homeowners to cave in.....prolong their suffering thru constant litigation that they don't know how to fight. You either have to give up; agree with him; or suffer thru it and represent yourself, as all attorneys I asked to represent me against him, wanted the deeds to my land and home, telling me it may be years to resolve.
All of this is "heresay" so does not implicate me in making accusations against him.
No smell coming from the Pecan Treatment Plant? We were promised the same thing about the Transfer Station at Magma Ranch. Take a wiff of that when you drive by or better yet, ask the surrounding residents.

I was told by Sandie Smith a while back that there should be no smell coming from the Pecan Treatment Plant and that if there was it was a air quality violation.
I've noticed its real bad lately and I've call every day for about 2 weeks now to the Pinal County Air Quality folks. I have yet to receive a call back and the situation has not approved. I've tried calling ADEQ but I have yet to talk to anyone that knows who I should talk to to actually lodge a complaint.
Does anyone have info on who to speak to at ADEQ?
Thanks
Brett

Brett.....I will be seeing him in Court on Dec. 9th. I'd love to ask him that question or at least something similar, for you. Of course he will already know what's coming as he and his "boys" monitor this site to catch any infractions against Mr. Johnson. Any other recent infractions besides the latest spill, would be of help. You don't have to submit your real name and you can p.m. me. But, the Corporation Commission had to approve the rates. I don't know what the new commissioners vews are about Johnson. but we'll soon find out.
There are two of us who have been sued. I am the only one pro per. Cannot discuss anymore. Big Brother is watching.

Got notification form JU that they are lowering the water rate by 19% and raising sewer by 20%. Since Pecan Creek only gets sewer "service" from him, is this his way of making us pay for evicting him from the wash?
Cheers
Brett
