		<description>Thanks for your comments Carrie.  If you have noticed the polling on my web site it is running heavily in favor of the Shopping Center site.  You can bet this is Mayor Hand and Ed Grimes and their groupies behind this.  When this issue was came before the council there was a poll on the Tehachapi News web site where the Capital Hills site was favored by 4 to 1.  That is before &#039;someone&#039; tampered with the poll.  The 4 to 1 number was backed up by the comments received on my TN blog and from discussions I had with citizens about both of the projects.  So I have no doubt where the majority of Tehachapi residents choose to have the new City Hall and Civic Center.

From my observation, the people on the City Council listen only to the recommendations of Staff and they do not analyze the issues placed before them and they appear to be shortsighted in their thinking.

I don&#039;t know why they won&#039;t wait until a General Plan is completed before making a decision that will have an impact over more than a decade.

The only thing we can do is support and vote for Henry Schaeffer and Jim Richards in November and vote out Hand and Grimes.  Both of these gentlemen believe in doing what the public wants, which by the way is the law.</description>

		<description>I think the city council is completely STUPID. Forget the city hall building...To build a civic center in shopping center is Ridiculous...I&#039;ve never seen it before in any other successful city. Why are these people trying to reinvent the wheel...</description>
