Steadfast – Another Money Grab from Mission Viejo
Mar. 6 council comments

An item on the closed-session agenda and previously reported in a local paper discloses that Steadfast is now requesting money from the city to pay for the low-income housing that they agreed to build as part of their project.

As I recall, and I have DVD’s of every public meeting on the Steadfast project, they stated that they “had not applied for and did not intend to apply for any low-income housing grants.” Was Ralph Deppisch deliberately misleading the public and the city with those statements? Perhaps he knew that claiming not to want city money would make this misguided project more “sellable.”

Once again, this duplicity is another example of why Steadfast should not be permitted to do business in Mission Viejo.
