City Hall Closure Not in Taxpayers’ Best Interests
* The recent decision of the Santa Clarita City Council to close City Hall every other Friday is not in the best interest of the taxpayers.
The impetus for the closure is a mandate from the state to reduce traffic and pollution.
There are many ways to accomplish this without closing City Hall for a three-day vacation every other week.
Businesses around town have found other solutions to the same mandate. Car pooling is a good way to accomplish the task at hand. Using public transportation is another.
If the last resort is to shut down City Hall one working day every other week, let’s make it Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
That of course doesn’t serve the “three-day weekend” requirement of the council, but it would serve the needs of the people.
