Garden Grove Council Fray
* Re “Comments From Public Won’t Be Televised,” June 1:
Garden Grove Councilmen William Dalton and Ho Chung deserve praise for supporting and contributing to a healthy public dialogue in our city.
In regards to his support for televising the comments of residents during City Council meetings, Dalton hit the nail on the head when he said, “If I’m concerned about five minutes of criticism, I shouldn’t be on the council.”
Mayor Bruce Broadwater, on the other hand, should be ashamed of himself. Using the suicide of a resident to justify his actions, Broadwater believes that the people he represents have no right to be seen or heard by other residents in the city.
Will the people of Garden Grove reciprocate by canceling their cable television subscriptions? Who knows? I’m sure if the mayor cared about that, he would have done the right thing and supported Dalton and Chung.
Shame on Broadwater.
