Cityhood: Beyond Street Sweeping

Your editorial, “New Interest in Cityhood” (March 31) was right on target. You are correct when you state that there are issues to be considered other than street sweeping.

The citizens of the affected area should consider this issue of cityhood very carefully. I am especially concerned by the fact that certain politicians seem to be pushing this issue. Undoubtedly, they will be looking for jobs for themselves and their friends if a city becomes a reality.

The public should consider carefully just what services they really want and need, and also which are cost effective.

My personal observation, after living in Southern California for four years, is that taxpayers are overtaxed, overserviced and overregulated already.
