One of the biggest complaints among the general public is how politicians WASTE tax dollars. Yet, these three measures still passed.
I hope artesia’s measure m does help the “whole” entire city of Artesia. Not just city hall/portuguese area of Artesia. Hopefully they will hire more cops and fix the streets that are in dire need of repair.
