THE TIMELINE

Quartzsite has a lengthy history of corruption.

Is there a feud? No.

There was -- nearly 20 years ago -- a disagreement between the founding Mayor and a man, Rex Byrd, who was convicted of attempting to hire a killer to take Oldham out of the picture. The conspiracy to kill Oldham netted Quartzsite national media attention, even though the story broke the same weekend as the O.J. Simpson story: June 1994.

He was later released from prison and has since died. [December 2001.] This widely publicized story has been used by the council and several other officials in Quartzsite to convince people that there's no lawlessness happening today -- but just echoes of a long ago 'feud' that keep reappearing on the scene.

The truth is that this 'story' is simply the 'approved method' of muddying the water in the hope that you won't dig any deeper.

Don't fall for it. Instead, FOLLOW THE MONEY.
