'I'm begging and pleading, don't forget about Montbello.'
Mayor Mike Johnston faced criticism over his Community Conversation meetings and what Montbello residents see as inaction on his part during a town hall event on Thursday, June 6.We're in the midst of our spring campaign, and we have until June 7 to raise $12,000. This money directly supports the journalismproduces and helps keep our work freely accessible for all, because not everyone can afford to pay for news.
"It's frustrating to have to say over and over and over to power, to people in positions of power, what we need," she says."It seems redundant." At Community Conversations, residents get into groups with at least one city official. Residents share their positive and negative feedback about safety in their neighborhood or council district, and then one person from the group — usually a city official — will read the feedback to the rest of the room. Usually, Johnston and a council member will talk to the whole room at the beginning of each meeting.About forty residents showed up for the meeting, including some from the nearby District 8.
Larry Murray, the president of the Golden Age Club of Montbello, said that he was grateful for the Costco Wholesale at 4741 Airport Way."Many of us here have been working on that project for a long time," he said. Speeding and gunshots were big issues in Montbello, Murray added, and he blamed them on youth with nothing to do.
"Look up that article," Gilmore said."It is appalling what we have been faced with in our neighborhood."
