CHICO COUNCIL BEARS WATCHING

With election results nearly completed it looks like it will be
business as usual for our Berkeley, or Chico City Council members.
Only Mark Sorensen was able to break through to become the second
conservative on the council. Come January when Larry Wahl gives up
his seat to become a county supervisor, Sorensen will find out what
it is like to become the lone soldier fighting a liberal regime.
Sorensen should get prepared for a bumpy road ahead but I urge him to
fight on as Wahl did to try to do what is right for the full-time,
property-tax-paying residents of this community.

This council is hell-bent on turning Chico into San Francisco East
and it looks like we will have to deal with at least two more years
of maximum density housing, moronic art projects, roundabouts,
overpriced transient housing projects, and the latest - possibly
becoming a marijuana Mecca for California.

At the last council meeting I could not believe how many times Andy
Holcombe interjected his support for marijuana. He spouted off so
many times that even he had to apologize for his gleefulness. Be
careful what you wish for. All of those suited, Los Angeles people
that spoke at the meeting spouting sugar plum dreams and promising
millions of dollars for Chico are not our friends. They want to use
our town as a base for a cartel and Holcombe didn't even see it.

Chico residents be vigilant of this council.
