• BREAKING NEWS: Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg and Former Foreperson of Yolo County’s Grand Jury Barbara Sommer Face Scrutiny

    In the midst of a growing controversy over Lea and David Rosenberg, the former foreperson of Yolo County’s Grand Jury has been identified as a potential wrongdoer in a civil inquiry into the peculiar circumstances surrounding familiar faces and a familiar casino in the context of a relatively unknown Davis-based non-profit entity, Progress Ranch.

    Barbara Sommer (who currently serves as the president of Progress Ranch; President of California Grand Jurors’ Association - Yolo County Chapter) is being looked into for indications of whether she may have been the recipient of questionable gifts during a time period when she served concurrently as Treasurer of Progress Ranch and Foreperson of Yolo County’s Grand Jury in order to influence the outcome of various legal proceedings, and especially a Grand Jury investigation of Cache Creek Casino located in Yolo County.

    The rapidly expanding multi-prong civil inquiry, conducted by TLR’s confederate — Yolo County’s YR —also views Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, Chairman Marshall McKay, and attorney Howard Dickstein as parties who may potentially have a played a role in the scheme, although this investigation is continuing.

    A source familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity, maintains that evidence shows that for a period of several years, four or five non-profits commandeered by Lea and David Rosenberg (Soroptimist International of Davis , Davis Rebekah Lodge, Davis Odd Fellows, Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc., and possibly Davis Sunrise Rotary Club) devoted unusual and, indeed, exclusive attention to financially benefit “foster youth” and/or “emancipated foster youth” in Yolo County.

    For example, Lea and David Rosenberg (at times, with the assistance of Judge David Reed and CPA Victor Bucher) raised funds to support foster youth by mobilizing Davis Odd Fellows ("Breakfast with Santa"), Soroptimist International of Davis ("Texas Hold ’Em" ), Davis Rebekah Lodge ("Crab Feed"), and Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc. ("Orphan Scholarship Fund").

    Also being looked into are Gretchen Peralta and Allison and Robert Woolley. Both Peralta and Robert Wooley are directors of Progress Ranch. Allison Wooley sold tickets to “Texas Hold’ Em”.
