That while Modesto government has been completely shut down that the building industry and the manufactures have decided on their representation without outside selection or debate, but citizens are forced to scramble and be interviewed by the Committee?

And isn't it interesting that the McClatchy News(Bee) has chosen for visiting editor Steve Madison from the Building Industry Association for the first quarter?Could the be a coincidence? Is it hapstance? Or is it more of Modesto politics as usual, also known as "slight of hand, thumbing their nose or even going along to get along?"

Bill Zoslocki will represent the building industry, Jan Marie Ennenga will speak for the Manufactures Council, and Richard Tatoyan will represent the construction industry.

The Fee Committee will be meeting Thursday at 5:30 on the sixth floor od 1010 10th Street in beautiful downtown Modesto.We'll be there to participate and to keep a sharp eye on them.
