The city of Cudahy and its neighbors have been plagued with
corruption, but many people said it's a new day there.
With a new wave of young elected leaders in the city - and
in the surrounding cities along the 710 Freeway - it is leaders like Mayor
Cristian Markovich who are leading the charge and taking the cities in a new
direction.
Markovich said technology and transparency are part of
what's helping this positive change, and that means more accessibility to
politicians, which is a good thing.
Uh. . .no!

The January 11, 2016 City Council meeting was outrageous.
Residents were up in arms with the city council's poor
leadership.
The mayor -- Mr. Markovich--talks about transparency and
openness, yet he tried to prevent a number of members of the audience from
speaking. He had started the meeting late, and yet reuired members of the
community to turn in speak cards by 6: 50, even though visitors to the city had
not been informed about the city council's rules on public comment.
They deliberately ruined a dance recital for 2-7 year old
ballerinas because of a petty political vendetta.
City residents are actually OUTRAGED that the city council
spent $4,000 on "One Cudahy" Magazine.
Residents in the city have informed me of rampant
corruption. The council approved an overly lavish labor contract with the labor
unions.
The council is set to pay the city manager $200,000 - for a
city of 30,000 residents?!
There is more going on in Cudahy.
And it is anything but a #FreshStart.
As an ACTUAL Cudahy resident, I would like to inform you that most of us are not "outraged" a the cost of the magazine because for once in the history of the city, we have something to look to if we need help finding more information about our city. STOP TRYING TO SPEAK FOR US!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the last comment, I do not attend the meetings because it is the same people complaining about anything, just to hear themselves speak. If I have a problem, I contact the Council Members Directly on Facebook or via Email. Jack Guerrero the only "Honest and transparent" one as you call him, is also the only member of Council who has never responded to any of my messages. Get your Facts together before you start throwing stones in glass houses. #RealCudahyResident #IVotedForMarkovich
