The Real Story – A Column
There is a Special Meeting tonight to replace the meeting canceled last week after Councilor Cristian Salgado’s actions led to chaos and cancellation. But as of this AM, the Herald has 3 versions of what is happening tonight, probably because the City is still in turmoil over what to do. With some Councilors demanding his resignation, and Salgado stating he will not resign, things are very tense:
