Good Morning: During the meeting on March 15, 2023 I briefly mentioned an Internet Blog
regarding information that San Bernardino was found to be the third dirtiest city in the United
States.
This information was not presented in an Internet Blog but an actual Fox News Report.
A copy of that news report is included for your information.
In response to my comment Damon L. Alexander stated that I should not be so negative, but
focus on the good things that are happening in San Bernardino.
Obviously Mr. Alexander is not interested in dealing with the homeless, the disgusting human
waste that is being dumped in public or the littering that is clogging local street sewers, left
there primarily by the homeless.
Please share this article with the members of the City Council and discuss if you would like to
respond to this article on FOX News.
Sincerely,
Douglas E Cameron
