There’s been some tossing around in the last year of having a grocery store run by the City of Eureka. In broad strokes, would you support a city run grocery store? Why or why not?

Thank you for the question. 

I am 100% opposed to city run grocery stores. The government should not be able to control our local stores more than they already are. When was the last time someone said, thank God the government took over or thank God the government is here? The city should stay out of this category. I would rather work with local businesses to see what we can do to help them out than let city have its own personal grocery store. Socialism is not the answer.  The government does not need to control everything. 

 

So, to answer your question. IF elected, I will vote no if this is ever proposed.
