<p></p>
<p>The Internal Revenue Service is investigating Sweetwater Union High School District’s L Street property –is this investigation only the tip of the iceberg?</p>
<p>In 2005 the district purchased a 24- acre parcel of land on L Street. The district made the purchase using Plan Nine Partners/California Trust for Public Schools, a non-profit or 501(c)(3) organization, to borrow $25 million in tax-exempt bonds to purchase the L Street property.</p>

Sweetwater Union High School District, Board Race

The Sweetwater Union board was at the epicenter of the recent scandals of bribery and quid-pro-quo relationships between contractors and board members. The ending result was that four of the five board members were forced off the board by a judge, as they pled guilty to lesser offenses. The fifth board member is not running for re-election which makes all five board seats up for election

Trustee Area 1:

There are three candidates for this seat: Burt Grossman, Arturo Solis, and Jerome Torres.
