From the Email InBox: Council/Chamber Hurt Business

From the Email In Box:

Two things that were not brought forth at the latest Council meeting by the citizens. The Fire Department does not get paid for their work on the 4TH of July. That is about $5000 for the night. That will not last long.

The other item is why was The State of the City Address not given in front of the public at the Council meeting. It was given at the Chamber of Commerce. This appears to show the disdain this Mayor has for anyone not in her clique. This is an outrageous breech of the public trust. What are they trying to hide? More unapproved projects or a lack of funds? She should be made by the other Council members to repeat it at the next Council meeting verbatim, seeing they did not record it. Why not record it?

This is why my family and I don't shop in Grand Terrace. We look at the Chamber as an organization that is not friendly to the residents.
