And we need to stop that. And that way we could get the people to back, you know, to support the city of Salinas. There's too much stuff going on right now.”

“Thank you, Commissioner Pernell. And that's a good point that you have there. And I know as a business owner too, it's good to know instead of people talking out there, everybody has their own.
