Just another photo meet, for Jim Edwards old cronyism, representing the Grand Old Party of the Cerritos Republicans.
I’m tired of these special photo meets, just to advertise the Republicans. The these fallen vets, give a hoot about the city of Cerritos.
City of Cerritos is just posting this to show off GOP. Local government control should not get involved with war anything, as too many religions, races and society are barred from this military support. Cities staff is budgeted to manage city, not be secretary to military functions and beyonddddddddddddd. Council is only seeking other means for a photo session of who is who in society, and the Realtor Carol Chen secret motive is to sell more real-estate in Cerritos to Chinese investors.
Mondays, Cerritos City Council Meeting, CCC never talked about months RDA hearings, but old Jimmy Edwards, had to talk about the VET PROGRAMS he attended. Many residents can not participate in government, when they talk about war times, against their religions. We did not vote for CCC to be Vets heros, CCC is to run the city, not international wars and vets.
