Modesto City Council does not support local business

Garrad Marsh feels that the annexation of the Salida properties will bring needed jobs to the area and generate taxes and yet, the Modesto City Council, in its infinite wisdom, will hire a firm from Sacramento to do the study and send $60,000 of local funds out of town.

Will someone please tell me when our local officials will begin to support local businesses?
