Eventful Day for CM Gonzalez

No sooner had he taken the oath, Council Member Ed Gonzalez made his presence known to his colleagues.

Then, he got council to postpone for three weeks consideration for a contentious item in District H that would involve selling the land occupied by the Heights Recycling Center and moving the center to the First Ward. Gonzalez also went on to complain that a company being awarded additional city work had failed to meet its goal for contracting with minority-owned businesses.

A sombrero-tip from DosCentavos to the new Councilman.  This had to have been a very rough day with the murder of a colleague last night.  DosCentavos’ thoughts are with the Canales family.
