EARL BOEK - Today at 6:49 am
I pledge at least 2,000 citizen votes against this new sales tax vote attempt. I guess the council and others think if they throw this rotten egg up on the wall enough times it's bound to stick. I wholeheartedly disagree. Why? Lack of accountability on the city council, lack of accountability by the union ran Redding Police Department, lack of accountability of the past city council members who raided our CITIZEN owned REU profit margin, while sticking our seniors and others with rate increases, and the sense of entitlement by ex officials, or at least one past mayor who believes all he has to do is ask for it and the city will give him the rest of a Citizen (city) owned South City Park for his personal field of dreams. Enough. Where are the cameras promised by the chief before the last failed tax vote? He says the police union doesn't want them. Exactly why they're needed. It's unarmed citizens killed or beat to death while in police custody (so badly they have to be hidden in out of the county hospitals) that make these cameras a necessity. I have three of them mounted on my car's windshield. They sell for $39 bucks each on TV. All these usage and storage issues are "a lot of who shot John" as Judge Judy's words. Locally, we'll never really know "who shot John" due to the fact, we have no recorded record of these gang shootings, we have one local police agency "investigating" another (a clear case of conflict of interest) coupled with a weak, rubber-stamping DA's office that is starting to bring back memories of Convict a Tuna Sandwich Benito. No Accountability, No personal officer cams (complete this time before the vote in November) Continued local inter-agency, conflict of interest "investigations" NO NEW TAXES PERIOD. _citizenactivist
