Cultural Center Victim of Personal Politics

Nestor Valencia has a great plan for the Hispanic Cultural Center. It's smart, makes sense, cost-efficient, and good for the tax-payer. 

Therefore it's dead on arrival.

But it's not gonna die for the reasons you might think. 

Word around the campfire in city hall is that city reps are saying it's going to die because some reps don't like Limón asking questions and poking around on things.

There is an idea that she needs to be involved in relationships with council members in order to get anything passed.

In others words they want her to kiss their ass.

That's not new to politics by any stretch of the imagination but it underscores exactly how this current council acts.

No wonder so many are displeased with them. 

It's no longer about who has the best ideas. It's about a certain majority wanting their collective asses kissed. 

Who cares about what's best for the city right?
