Significant
Mischaracterization
February 19, 2004
Dear Editor,
I am writing to correct what I believe was a significant mischaracterization
of the purpose for the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce’s special
board meeting held on Wednesday Feb. 18, 2004. (“City
to Chamber: Charter Amendment Bad for Santa Monica,” Feb. 19, 2004)
The sole purpose of that meeting was for Mayor Richard Bloom and
other city officials to impart information relative to their current
budget, financial projections for the future, and to quantify and
specify where the monies to the Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School
District come from.
In the interest of fairness and balance we had invited the City to
make its presentation. There was never any thought of taking a vote
on the C.E.P.S. Charter Amendment that day and any implication to
the contrary is erroneous.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael E. Gruning.
Chairman of the Board,
Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce |
