Modesto, we are a mess. First, the Archway Commons; now, the courthouse. I think the courthouse we have should be remodeled. If more space is needed, build up, have it higher.

As for Measure X, forget it. In the past when taxes have been raised, it’s never been used for what was intended. Taxpayers, wake up! It’s so easy to spend other people’s money and that’s what the mayor and City Council do. I think when election time comes around, we should hit them where it hurts, at the polls. Taxpayers should have the right to say where and how their money is spent.
