Who’s helping who?, we elect these people and who’s interests are they really looking after?
E.I.D., the B.O.S and the City of Placerville all have pretty new houses in which to conduct our business, lets start taking care of the people business and not the business of developers, bringing in unwanted subdivisions and box stores, which burden and don’t offset the demands on the water and roads which they create. We need to work on improving the character of our town and county, building on its unique setting and history from the ground up and then businesses will be knocking to come in and we can be more selective as to who and what they really have to offer, good paying jobs and a stable future not more urban sprawl and strip malls with minimum wage jobs.
