I would love to support anyone who can restore government accountability especially when it has to do with the Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund! Mr. Glover has used the vast majority for his special interest groups. Take a good look at our community and the illegal dumping, litter and trash throughout the neighborhoods. I am hopeful that the next individual that represents District 5 will spend the money as it was intended to mitigate the effects of the dump and the surrounding areas. Given the amount of money that has been dispersed by this fund, our community should be devoid of trash. I am hoping that a former native son (Steve Lopez) who writes for the LA Times will expose this egregious misuse of funds.
