Mailbag

The true answer is that Glendale is an unfavorable sanctuary city, which protects illegal immigrants and ignores their presence here. How disgusting. I challenge anyone to rebuke that answer.

I think it’s safe to say that a very large majority of Glendale residents wants their city to start taking action against illegal immigrants now.

I concluded my talk by warning the City Council that if it waits too long on closing the day laborer center and enforcing the federal immigration law (like other cities are doing), one of our citizens will be killed by an illegal immigrant, which is happening all too frequently across the nation.

Mayor’s move will get business moving

Regarding “Mayor Drayman faces first salvo,” Thursday: Maybe now the council will be able to proceed with city business.

That clique that fills the council meetings should wait until the council takes care of important matters.

I think the council that hears or has mail should give the public their answers the following week. I have sent letters that will help traffic conditions and never get a reply. The council should limit responses to one speech per individual per night. One person must think he bores us with three speeches every Tuesday.

I have the mute button on television. We need answers to our problems, as I said before. Council critic Margaret Hammond is fun to watch, but I disagree with her “If it’s working, don’t fix it” thought. It is not working.

The entry room on some Tuesday nights tells us that only the nights when one group wants to change the council’s mind, such as ballot voting, do we have a full group at our meeting.

Thanks council, for having the ballot the way you have it on voting.

A dare for whoever is lowering the flag

So the person who took down the American flag over the Vietnam memorial wall in Montrose took it down to protest a group gathering at the memorial against the war in Iraq (“Battle lines are drawn,” March 15). If the guy is so brave, I will buy him a plane ticket to Washington, D.C., and then he can try to take down the flag flying high over the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.

My guess is that this guy has no guts, because people on the East Coast don’t play like that. Get where I am coming from?
