Ms. Cynthia Vasquez,

Thank you for being the only member of the council who didn’t receive/take money from the Building Industry Association or developers! Maintain your moral compass and don’t be swayed by those seeking to line their own pockets.

Are you kidding me?

For the last five years, the taxpayers have been footing the legal bills on the power and money grab by the council and its squad of attorney's, who have been exceedingly unsuccessful with their legal arguments.

And now there is a "Special Meeting" at 4:30 to create a quorum because Judge Schwarm removed Council Members Bucknum, Raths and Sachs from office because they illegally extended their terms without an election.

Fellow citizens. Please get involved. The prior council was secretive and out of control; and now city administrators are starting off the new council on this foot?
