Edward J. Staley: If you voted for Amgen give-away, you should fund it
Re “City short on funds for cycle teams’ visit” (Front page, May 14): The recently voted-out mayor of Modesto should have done the math before voting to give away thousands of our tax dollars to the Amgen Tour of California bicycle riders. They wanted to sleep and eat here but not race here. According to The Bee, they are short money for this, betting on-the-come they would get donations. So, why not have the other city council members who voted yes donate their money to make up the difference toward this non-event?
