| Introduction | As a resident of one of the “foothill cities” in Southern California, I am fascinated by the stories, people and interests that make up the often strange and always amusing local political scene. As this area grows, it is vital that our local governments be transparent and accountable to residents. After all, local governments exist for the common good of the individuals and communities they represent, not for the good of government officials. This good is best achieved by limited governments that foster individual freedom and allow the natural ingenuity of our diverse foothill communities to flourish—not through regulation, red tape or the dangerous assumption that only government can solve our problems. In light of all this, my blog exists to point voters and the local officials they elect in the “foothill cities” of the San Gabriel Valley and elsewhere to local stories, information, issues, debates, and scandals of interest. I use the best (and worst) of local media as well as my own research. I hope that readers like you will help me by emailing foothillcities -@- gmail -dot- com with tips, comments, or questions. |
