From the Email InBox: Conduct of Council Members

Behavior of Council Members Reflects Disregard of Citizens:

Have you noticed that while the concerned citizens of Grand Terrace are sharing their concerns at the podium, Marietta Ferre and Bea Cortes are looking at everything but the speaker. They just can't wait for the speaker to be finished. That is not the behavior of a knowledgeable leader.

It disappoints me that Bea Cortes, Marietta Ferre, Le Ann Garcia ignored Mr. Hay's question about Eminent Domain. He asked which way would they vote today. Mr. Miller stood up to his views and said he would vote against it. Mr. Hilkey, skated the issue again by saying, he would not vote on anything without the facts. Well, they didn't have the facts about the fireworks committees decision to limit the soccer/baseball teams sales days to four. Marietta wanted to push it through like everything else. I do not believe she can think for herself and therefore should not hold a seat in our city government. Bea Cortes swayed either way, as usual. The truth is, they just want to get out of there.

We need to elect people who care about our city, and don't have a hidden agenda.
