Subject: Wednesday meeting
The time is always right to do what is right.- Martin Luther King Jr.
Good Afternoon,
I hope you are all well. These challenging times are often times when leaders rise to the occasion or fall
into oblivion. The choices you have made in the past do not way as heavy as the vote you put forth on
Wednesday. Considering paying for John Valdivia's legal expenses associated with sexual
harassment and hostile work environment, seems like mismanagement of City money. In 2013 the City
Council In San Diego voted 9-0 to deny the Mayors request for taxpayers to pay for his legal fees
associated with a sexual harassment case against him. San Diego says it shouldn't be part of the lawsuit
because it had no role in the mayors behavior. One Council member stated "Mayor Filner can't pay back
San Diegans for the damage he's done to our City's reputation, but he can and should repay the City if
there are any taxpayers cost s as a result of this lawsuit."
Which path will you take? I am fairly new to San Bernardino, I have not connected all the political alliance
dots yet... I do however comprehend that our City is taking a very dangerous turn and setting up a
precedence for our City's failure. What signal will you be sending small businesses that have
temporarily closed and fighting to stay afloat? Will it be the only people that get help are friends or donors?
What message are you sending businesses looking to open in San Bernardino after this crisis? Are we
open for business for everyone of just a favored few? What message are you sending to homeowners who
have invested in our City and are enduring these troubled times because they still have hope? What
message are you sending to future homeowners who may look to our City to live because of the moderate
housing prices? What message will you be sending your constituents? That you political alliances are more
important than the people of San Bernardino? The choice you make will define if you rise to the occasion or
fall into oblivion. You are setting your legacy. Please start by taking San Bernardino in a new direction,
where there is fiscal accountability, working for and with your constituents. Things are changing fast, people
are awaking from their slumber. You will be held accountable for your vote.
What will your legacy be?
