From yesterday’s Enterprise Record:
Make city department heads elected positions
I am very concerned about the recent behavior of Chico City Clerk Debbie Presson by hiding important documents and information from the public. It is her job to protect and serve the voters in Chico, and she isn’t doing it. As taxpayers we deserve better of our highly paid city officials.
Perhaps we need to change all of the management positions at the city to elected offices. That way we can vote out people who show such arrogance toward the public.

Notice how the sipn in the newspaper has been that it’s Stone who isn’t doing his job, and Presson is innocent and pure. We all know that this is really a proxy argument against the public safety unions.

Yes – the issue that started the whole thing for me was the CPOA reports being weeks late. Presson could have fined them per day but chose not to for some reason.
