When does a council member speak for the city without first seeking the formal approval of the city council where they serve? That is a question at the center of a brewing conflict on the Desert Hot Springs City Council.
Continuing down a familiar path, Mayor Yvonne Parks recently sent a letter on behalf of the city endorsing enterprise zones in California. A statewide debate is underway over their effectiveness.
Maybe I'm missing some important piece of information, but I think this happens everyday in cities and towns around the US. Why would a council member need to have the approval of the council to make an endorsement?
this mayor is running amok...
Almost as bad as a president deciding that a nation’s borders don’t exist.
Well... that comment was based on personal experience.
