Letter: Let’s hope the City Council doesn’t back down | Opinion | #citycouncil

To the editor — Everyone says we should run government like a business.

To the editor — I’m puzzled by the Herald’s Jan. 10 headline announcing, “Strong Mayor Leadership Favored.” Besides a few City Council members, just exactly who favors replacing the system that has worked well with one which is more costly and has no redeeming features? I’ve never heard any concern about the performance of our […]

Mayor’s display | Opinion and Commentary

It began with the City of Chino Hills flag. A resounding effort from individuals throughout the community came forward to create the design. Unfortunately, the City Council chose to spend staff time and city resources—which ultimately did not proceed forward—to initiate a contest to redesign the flag.  The City Council has now, upon the recommendation of the […]
