Shank you very much

Why do the people who live in Costa Mesa continue to get the short

end of the stick from the city?

The city buys land, gives it to Habitat for Humanity, which then

gives the homes to people in Santa Ana. Do we not have anyone in

Costa Mesa who could use a home?

The city buys cars from car dealers in Tustin. I know we have car

dealers in Costa Mesa.

The city buys landscaping services from Anaheim. Don’t we have

landscapers in Costa Mesa?

Look at any City Council agenda, and you will see that the city

rarely, if ever, contracts with the businesses in Costa Mesa. They

contract with Irvine, Santa Ana, Tustin and everywhere else, but not

Costa Mesa. The City Council on Monday night would not even vote to

give the people in Costa Mesa first right to jobs at the city-run Job

Center.

Why are the people from everywhere else more important than the

people who live here in Costa Mesa?
