Editor,
I wonder if Rey Garcia, the city engineer who oversaw the Victory Gardens Improvement Project ever came back to inspect all the flaws committed by the contractors hired by the city. And, I also wonder if the city paid them extra for taking a year longer to complete the project which in all actuality, they should have been penalized for each day they took longer to complete. No worries, the taxpayers can foot the bill.
Councilman Gonzales was going to let me know if the city indeed compensated them for taking longer — but he never did. Now he votes to hire more police, firemen, and city workers. He was going to vote no to give us taxpayers a break but finally succumbed to peer pressure, even after running on the platform of working for the people of San Marcos. No worries, the taxpayers can foot the bill. I doubt I’ll vote for him again.
