Is South El Monte another Bell?

Allen Wilson wrote an alarming piece for Red County on South El Monte and the apparent games being played by the City Council to get taxes raised.

When will voters wake up and take back their cities?  As Allen Wilson reports, one South El Monte resident got it right:

South El Monte resident Steve Jaramillo arrived late as well, but he raised questions about the money spent on consultants and objected to the expenditure for a public information campaign about the election:

"It's like a disease. It's like diarrhea for the consultant. If you go and see how much the city has spend on consultants in the past year, we probably wouldn't need a half cent sales tax increase."

We need more people like Steve Jaramillo to step up and speak out against the stupidity and wasteful spending that plagues so many city halls.
