I would like to congratulate our new <br /> mayor and council members! <br /> Last year construction and financial hardship brought us all together and that was our eye opening time to <br /> realize not only the Bid has not worked for us but all those years we were paying to be neglected,ignored, <br /> abused, and cheated. Bid was working only for special interests (investors) and against us the actual merchants. <br /> We reached out to our neighbors and thank the city commissioners and the MAJORITY of city council and <br /> previous Mayor who understood our frustracion and reasoning and recommended and voted to kill the bid ! <br /> Tonight we are here to make sure you bury the Bid and stay vigilant that this abuse will never come back . <br /> Also , it was mentioned on the past that Senator Tom Umberg was going to support our downtown with 1.2 <br /> million . We would like to know the status on those grants . We are still struggling , the downtown is not the <br /> same . We need support to make sure our businesses survive . <br /> We as the Merchants involved , understand the importance of working together with the city in order to build a <br /> better business environment for customers and our community. In order to have an open conversation with you <br /> and be involved in every decision that will affect our livelihood and businesses we introduce these people <br /> Miss. Ana Laura Padilla <br /> Miss. Marcela Prado <br /> Miss. Ginette Sanchez <br /> Mr.Shawn Makhani <br /> You can contact the group through them . We are looking forward to more successful future and working <br /> together . <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br /> i <br />
