This to specifically provide fundingand support with additional property assessments (taxes/fees) to be provided revenue to aprivet membership corporation (GGHCDC).

In 2012 the battle is continuing although the Citizens clearly and decisively won every courtcase, which ORERED a Writ of Mandate, vacating the unconstitutional and illegalgovernmental actions/proclamations establishing the Grater Golden Hill Maintenance
