IF you do not feel that the continuation of the RDA Funding Scheme is a benefit to the State of California and or the City of Grand Terrace, apparently the Staff and Council Need to hear your voices once again. Perhaps it is about time for a Citizens Revolt against the RDA Scheme of Funding that has served the Developer and a few in City Government, but left the public taxpayer paying the inflated bills of the excessive debt financing and salary inflation the RDA Scheme has placed upon the entire state.

It is time to break the addiction to the RDA and the City Council is acting like an enabler to an addict. Sure some of the staff are co-dependent junkies, but it is time the City Council and Mayor step up and say enough is enough, let's get on to being sober. Yes, it will be a nasty hangover and withdrawal.

Oh, Mayor Stanckiewitz I don't think Colton would want to assume your debt, in addition to their own, so don't hold out for South Colton as a replacement plan for Grand Terrace. You were elected to clean up and get beyond the Schwab Mess. Sure, it is tough, but get on with it. Rip off the band aid, stop looking for a bail out, and make the hard cuts. IF there are funds in the future that become available, ok, spend those wisely. But, don't plan on it.
