See no, Hear no, Speak no EVIL in GT

PAUL LaROCCO /The Press-Enterprise reports "Council pushes pause button"..... "ANSWERS: City officials spar over their delayed responses to public comment questions." 01:20 AM PAST on Friday, March 18, 2005


Perhaps the best representation of the Grand Terrace City council are the three monkeys, "See no evil, Hear no evil, and Speak no evil." The blinders are the hands of the City Manager not having full disclosure of all public documents, and meetings, The ear plugs are the effects of intimidation the citizens feel when they dare speak to the council, and city management. Finally the gag is the city attorney.

What kind of frank and earnest consultation can take place in this town? Without basic communication, consultation with citizens this should be classified as a dictatorship with a puppet council with the all powerful City Manager as the puppet master.

Do we need to mention the lack of use of the provided microphones so that when there is an utterance it can be heard?
