First the town Mayor is forced out of office, then a state of emergency is declared in secret and if matters couldn’t get any worse for the unfortunate townspeople of Quartzsite, the majority of the police force is now being forced to stay in their own homes during working hours.
Nine out of a total of fourteen Quartzsite, Arizona police officers have been suspended, all of which just happened to be whistle blowers who exposed their corrupt police chief.
The Mayor, Ed Foster, was elected on the platform of investigating the corrupt goings-on in the Quartzsite city council. Therefore, it is not quite surprising that they would force out the man who intends to prove them to be criminals.
The city has now become a fascist authoritarian police state with the criminal police chief Jeff Gilbert at the helm.
The Quartzsite Police Officers Association’s conclusion is that (Chief) Gilbert must be placed on administrative leave until a thorough investigation is conducted and that town policy is followed accordingly.
The astoundingly corrupt city council declared a state of emergency in the small Arizona town during a secret meeting.
This arbitrarily declared state of emergency allows the council to continue to meet in secret, refuse to allow the public to comment until the council decides the state of emergency has ceased.
The scary part is: there is no emergency other than the one this council has created. A corrupt group of bureaucrats are holding an entire town hostage and Arizona’s governor refuses to step in.
The brave Mayor Foster discovered that during every pay period 8-10 checks were sent to non-existent personnel, totaling $250,000 each year.
This practice has been going on since 1991 and Mayor Foster has been denied access to the financial records showing where this money goes.
This is, on its face, a blatant violation of the law and a not-so-subtle attempt to cover up a decade of corruption.
Mayor Foster has gone to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s office along with the Attorney General and the FBI with this information, all of which gave him the cold shoulder.

A state of emergency can only be declared by a state, not a town.
