According to the Record a new interim revitalization director is named to take over for the out setter of Harzoff. The new director Gus Duran will be in charge of the over 40 million dollar budget of the revitalization department.
According to the Record the "Stockton Revitalization Department is one of the city's highest profile operations, chiefly for its involvement in development downtown."
Which I feel is chiefly a waste of tax payer money and especially in the crisis we are in, another backwards decision made by the City Manger O'Rourke. I do not say that revitalization is not a good thing, but when people are loosing their jobs, homes, and crime is rampant, wouldn't not be more prudent to spend at least part of this money on other things that might be better for the city.
Bring more jobs to the city, attract more businesses, and do more for the people, don't pay a person $144 ,396 for doing a job--that so far has not worked out.
Hello, I feel this is just more wasteful spending and we as citizens of this city need to take a stand or forever suffer and keep our mouths shut later, because sooner is better than later, and the signs are already there--"Houston we have a problem", is Duran going to be the revitalization savor, or is this just going to be another waste of money where no one wants to go?
The city has done an extraordinary job in cleaning up the downtown area, making it more attractive and yet and yet and yet people still won't come. Hello! Get it together people!
