How "Republican" are they Alice?

At the National and Federal Levels of Politics you hear Republicans yelping about cutting the debt, cut programs limit the size of Government. Where is that call in Grand Terrace at the City Level?

Yet in Grand Terrace, the "Republican Council" is considering an increase of the CRA Debt Limits, more transgressions of the Private/Government separations, and all while miss using the allocation of taxes in accordance to the rules and regulations and laws about such a financial arrangement.

You would think that Budget Reform and Austerity would come from a City Lead by "Republicans". You would think that when things were turning bad they would have been the first to say, no more spending outside the budget of the General Fund. You would have thought that they would see the CRA not as a Cash Cow to be milked, but as the Drain it is on the General Fund that the City should be using for its operations.

You would think that they would be pushing to get out of Real Estate Development Business and Interfering with Commerce. You would think that they would not aid one business at the detriment of another business. You would think they'd be protecting your property rights.

OH I forget, this is Grand Terrace where nothing is what it appears to be. A loan is not intended to be paid back. Criminal Investigations can be stopped by City Managers. City Council Members are arrested for voting on a consent calandar, while others negotiate and pay on contracts for their own business associates.
