Voice of the People: Councilman Gonzales Misleads

By Steven Cade, Principle Officer, Citizens for Colton First
September 17, 2014 at 08:18am. Views: 90

Many members of Citizens for Colton First are angry and dismayed due to the actions and comments made by Mr. Gonzales at the last Council Meeting. He made numerous false, misleading and inflammatory statements regarding Citizens for Colton First. For example, he stated that a recent complaint filed with the city by members of the public, was done on behalf of Citizens for Colton First. This is simply not true! Let me be very clear on this: Citizens for Colton First had absolutely nothing to do with the complaint filed nor did most members of the group have any knowledge of such complain until it was reported in the local newspapers. For Mr. Gonzales to say anything otherwise is nothing but false and misleading! Mr. Gonzales went on and stated several other things that were not only untrue, but inflammatory and potentially slanderous. Of course none of these statements were true. As a Council Member, Mr. Gonzales has taken a pledge to obey and follow rules as outlined in the council policy manual, Council Ethics and Norms. It is my opinion that Mr. Gonzales has not been truthful, has not shown respect and civility to the citizens as required in the policy and appears to be conducting his own personal agenda while on the Dias, to name just a few of the violations. At the next council meeting, I will be asking the city council to take action against Mr. Gonzales and hold him accountable for his reprehensible actions. The citizens of this city deserve better! I also call on Mr. Gonzales to retract his false and misleading statements and apologize to the members of Citizens for Colton First.
