The blog has been quiet lately due to vacations and dental emergencies .... fun and absolutely no fun! But I wanted to drop in for a quick look at some decisions that are being considered in Chula Vista.
Decisions that will impact you!
So be sure to talk about these things in your circle of friends, families and neighbors. Then reach out and tell CV leaders your thoughts and opinions.
Medical Marijuana - Should it be allowed and regulated in the city? Opportunity for much needed tax revenue or gateway to something else?
Next Year's Budget - Much more than dollars and cents, it is the most important policy document for the city. It will prioritize which public services we citizens get and don't get. It will show if rhetoric matches reality.
Executive Pay Study - The council issued a study on executive pay, but it looks like the pay in question is the Mayor & Council. Which, by the way, was approved by voters here in 2000! So now there are complaints about how much our council is getting paid --- only way to change it is to go back to us the people.
Merging of Parks & Libraries - Rumor is that the city is looking at merging these two departments to save money. What does that mean for me and you, our kids, our community???
Districts - Are districts coming to Chula Vista? What would be the advantages and disadvantages to having districts? Currently our Mayor & Council are elected city-wide. Would you like to have a council member that lived in your neighborhood? Or would that fragment the city more than it already is?
So you see --- LOTS going on! OH and then of course, campaign season will soon be upon us - one can smell it in the air!
Vacation lag and recovery will need to occur before we write in length about any of these --- but YOU can.
Let us know if you have thoughts you want to share about any issue in CV -- Guest bloggers are always accepted :)
