"Please keep me informed about City revenues and what we can do to support our City!"

"I've lived in Santa Clara for over 30 years. I choose to live in Santa Clara because it takes care of the city and its people. I support whatever needs to be done to stop the state from using our city funds because they can't budget. Please include me when distributing information about the State's raid on City assets. I strongly support the Council and Staff efforts to resist further State action to transfer City property and revenues."
