who has watched and read this paper every since, may I say,
your editorial staff has never been more in tune, as your editorial
proves, with this cities citizen needs and desires. Never.
So finally, we all agree there is a problem with Redding's leadership.
I think I know what and where this disconnect comes from. I ran
into an ex Redding city council member recently at one of the cities
local supermarkets and I asked about the city/REU financial
arrangement and that person explained the accounting and legal
agreements that exist between the two agencies. The council
person explained the arrangement was needed to fund the city
managers salary and expenses and the city attorney expenses.
Remember Dunavey? (or whatever his name was) who threw
away tens of thousands of rate payers REU profits to attempt to
do away with constitutionally protected free speech and other local
citizen's rights? What a waste of a law degree and treasure. But
that is not the problem I discovered, it is the result of it. This ex
council person described to me the average Redding citizen was
basically stupid fools. You won't hear any such description from
members of the existing council, some who worked with this ex
ouncil member, as they want and need more of you "stupid fools"
to pony up and vote their so called "safety sales tax" into law. But
understand this, if this is how we Redding Citizens are viewed by
these people at City hall, you can bet the management, including
city management, likely all feel the same way about us. When you
stop and think about this, those of you who possess more than a
grammar school education, it's about the only conclusion that actually
makes sense, when you see how they operate and just how far out
of touch they are with their supporters and the citizens of our city.
