San Simeon CSD versus Hearst, the games begin
May 2, 2021
OPINION by HENRY KRZCIUK
San Simeon Community Services District General Manager Charles Grace and district legal counsel Jeff Minnery, with coaching from Chair Gwen Kellas, a prominent business owner in San Simeon and an unknown developer, are formally challenging Hearst’s ownership of the land they have been encroaching upon. This after years of the district concealing the encroachment.
As the saying goes, the best defense is an offense.
This is a match to watch. The scorecard will be kept in large legal fees. Hearst is presently ahead $54,000 to zero.
Come to think of it, Hearst cannot lose. San Simeon agreed to pay all of Hearst’s legal costs to fight the district. What a fun game for our disadvantaged community.
