    Thanks for the posting. We hope people will come out and listen to the candidates so they will have a better idea of what they stand for.

    • McMahon, J. says:

      Watched the rerun of a former Candidate’s Forum on Monday PM. Asked myself over and over, can’t our candidates come up with more fresh political platforms; instead of these BORING PHRASES, which have been used —MILLION MILLION— times by former city elections:

      • Improve Public Safety.
      • Country has so good to me, it is payback time.
      • Better policing.
      • For our Children.
      • The babies.
      • ABC relationships.
      • Whitney High School.
      • Hoping for Diversity.
      • Realtors- real estate.
      • Sponsored Recreation Programs by city.
      • China.
      • Pilipino .
      • Korean.
      • Crimes.
      • International Trades.
      • Forevermore Store.
      • Nordstrom .
      • Sacramento.
      • Washington DC.
      • I did this/that, I, I and more I’s.
      • Spouses names, who cares and remembers names.
      • Name dropping employment and attending university brand names, who cares?
      • Long infinity list of thank you, who cares?

    ***** 2013, Forum Questions should be from | Audience | Cell Phones| Texting| Emails| as Seniors in city are impaired for Night time meetings *****

  • I’m sending this to all the candidates (except the one who hasn’t publicized his email address). Here’s the question that will decide my vote:

    Would you be in favor or against the city publishing a brief summary of the income, expenses (direct and indirect overhead incurred by the city) and operating losses over the 20 years of operation of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts?

    One candidate responded and said he wouldn’t be against it. So far he hasn’t responded to my follow up asking again if he would be for it.

    The other candidates haven’t responded to it yet.

    It’s our city. Why would any council candidate or member not want to make this information easily available to the citizens, such as posting it on the city’s web site?

    Wednesday, February 20, 2013.

    Woman’s Club Forum was tainted from Get-go……as last minute accepted email questions, without announcing public in news publications. More corruption and no transparency with this agency.

    Realized why the candidates are so disconnected……..too many generation disputes:
    • Silent Generation
    • Baby Boomer Generation
    • X, Y, Z, Generations.
    • Then the slanted generations digested from global background…
    • No wonder why some staff are techno wizards, while others are not!

    What a horrid choice to vote for!!!!

    1. Three (3) forums, only 1 great question. What to do w/ Cerritos water supply, if the cybers are corrupted?

    2. Never boo about the budget for $2-$3M | CCPA Roof!

    What era are we living in, some candidates are not on?
