The letter was sent prior to the latest revelation by HMG-CN of Salcido’s kiddie porn audio.

The Mayor, Mayor pro-ten and Council members stated:

“We the elected governing body of the city of Pico Rivera unequivocally disagree and condemn the recent comments made by councilmember Salcido regarding those individuals who have served or are currently serving in our nation’s military.

The city Council and residents of Pico Riviera are steadfast in the recognition that the contributions by those who have served or are currently serving our country via military service are respected and we are grateful for their service.

The city of Pico Rivera was founded upon the principles, values and sacrifices of many of our veterans who, when called upon by our nation, served with great pride and honor. Those men and women who have proudly served in our nation‘s Armed Forces have proven time and again that personal sacrifice in the face of injustice and tyranny can literally change the world for the better.“

The letter was signed by all the elected officials.
