Editor,
I recently read that City Councilman Robert Scattini said, “I want accountability for every penny spent,” and also, “If someone says they need to go our and get a screwdriver for 20 cents, I want their supervisor to authorize it. I want to make sure we absolutely need that screwdriver now and not next year when we’re maybe not so much in the hole,” Free Lance April 26 2005.
That is the true example of a leader and someone who I can trust in an environment where others are quick to spend our money and ask for more.
Working in government should be an ideal, not a place to wheel and deal our money.
We need more people like Mr. Scattini to ensure that our tax dollars are not wasted. I hope that this man’s principles become the policy of our City Council and Board of Supervisors.
Arthur Cantu, Hollister
