Mr. Brenzei is spot on. We need more people running for City Council who own their own businesses, are accountable to the bottom line, and know how to make painful cuts in order for the business to survive.

For too long we have had council members schooled in the Slocum thought who feel that Menlo Park has a bottomless pit of money or make decisions that resonate with their leftist philosophies, or curry favor with special interest groups such as employee unions who, in turn, for disgorement of city funds to their causes will, contribute handsomely to their future political campaigns.

James R. Brenzel......Right On
