Transcript:
Hi, this is Matthew Coulter. I wasn't notified of this meeting, which is a violation of the Brown ACH that wasn't notified of this special meeting. You guys just chomping at the bit to get this tax money is squander. It'd be really interesting to follow up and see what happens with it and who's put in charge of watching what you do with it. If it's going to be the former mayor or your friends or people that are directly profiting from the taxpayers of Grass Valley through favoritism crony. Yes. And just direct corruption that's going on at City Hall. Hopefully, some things will change this November. Until then, we'll just have to write it out with the city council. That has been just absolutely outrageous to come out of covered. And just spend a huge amount of money on the mall downtown. You have my drawing and Creek, from parking lot projects, You have just staff repelled by all over the place up on Ridge Road, Go to anything that's been, that you guys have approved in the last four years, and look at it. The housing developments, the different things, see what's going on
