Report: another Palm Springs City Councilman is being investigated over income

Chris Mills

Just a few months after the FBI raided Palm Springs City Hall (#PouGhazi), KESQ reports another City Council member is being investigated by the Fair Political Practices Commission.

The commission is looking into the earnings of Chris Mills after Eloise Mohsin, a former resident of the Coachella Valley, began looking into financial data on forms submitted by Mills showing how he receives his income .

The forms, according to Mohsin, show Mills made more than $100,000 from suspended and nonexistent businesses with bogus addresses:

“The Planning Commission reports lists Ramon Partners with different other names like Ramon Office Building LLC that did exist but it has been suspended status. And in the other planning commission report listed a Ramon Partnership and I looked into that and that company doesn’t exist,” said Mohsin.

On some of the forms, Ramon Partners is supposed to have a location in Santa Monica, but Mohsin says that doesn’t exist. Some of the forms also list an address at 4001 East Ramon Road in Palm Springs but that address is just an empty lot. Mohsin is not sure how the Planning Commission approved something from an applicant that she claims does not exist.

The TV station reached out to Mills who had no comment but said he was cooperating with the investigation.
