At a recent 9/14 Modesto City Council meeting where charging fees for the first time was being considered for the Maddox Youth Center, which happens to be located in an especially financially deprived area of town, Kristin Olsen said the suggested fees were to low and needed to be higher.
Her callous remarks can be heard by taking the provided link and fast forwarding to the noted times.here is the link.
Go 44 minutes in and hear Kristin "Miss Milky Way" Olsen, Modesto's answer to Leona Helmsley, say the fees should be higher.
Go 47 minutes in and hear her say it again.At 55 minutes in she says she KNOWS "they," meaning some of the most financially deprived kids in town, can afford Milky Way candy bars and sodas.
At 1 hour in listen to concerned parents and kids who use the center.
And please don't skip over Councilman Lopez's comments regarding not being willing to lose one kid to gangs and what the cost of that would be to Modesto.
And don't miss where Councilman Muratore weighs in wanting kids to be kids in a very positive way.
Hear her own words, make your own decisions about the message she was sending to all of Modesto and the 25th Assembly District
