Patrick Noda: Take back Turlock

Tuesday is Election Day and we will have to choose who will govern Turlock. It will be a difficult choice. The present council has done a pretty poor job for the following reasons:

▪ The expenses of the city have been exorbitant because large amounts have been paid to personnel and for building the fire station and the high school track.

▪ The council has misappropriated the gas-tax money which was supposed to go on the streets, but went elsewhere.

▪ It has failed to take care of the bus transportation of a great number of residents. Just look at how few are riding the buses.

For the above reasons it is time for a change. Rise up and take back the government and make it work for the majority by casting your ballot Nov. 4

Patrick Noda, Turlock
