City of Stanton Public Safety Committee

Our "public safety committee" has been lacking leadership and has been less than useless for many years. Prostitution is taking place on Beach Blvd. 24/7 especially near the children's amusement park. Homelessness has taken over our small town in our parks, children's play areas, in front of businesses, in our residential areas, flood channels, alleys, etc. Just getting food from the store can be a challange at times. Everyone with eyes sees the many problems around our small town every day all day long so why isn't anyone doing anything?

City of Stanton Planning Commission

Our planning commission works to increase the population by removing businesses and good jobs and replacing them with more high-density housing in our already highly densely populated small town. We are lacking adaquate parking, water, electricity, sewage spills happen too often and many of our roads/freeways are gridlocked... And the answer coming from the planning commission is to build even more housing without fixing the infrastructure first!?

Parks and Recreation Commission

There are so many homeless living in and around our parks making it difficult to understand what this commission is supposed to be doing. Pictured above is just one large tent in Stanton Park next to City Hall and the Sheriff's Station. City workers were working in the park at this time. Children cannot play at this park and there is an elementary school next door. If our Stanton city council won't fix the problems around city hall then how effective will they be in your neighborhood? When is someone going to begin to do something around our city?

Stanton Election Information

For decades many of our councilmembers have done really well at getting elected. But, running an election and running a city are two different skillsets. As we can see from looking around Stanton it appears that it is easier to learn how to raise taxes and fees that hurt businesses and residents than it is to fix the many issues our city council has allowed to happen.

Councilmember Hong Alyce Van

As soon as councilmember Van was appointed to the city council she helped to increase taxes on businesses and residents. It's common for the parks in her neighborhood to be filled with homeless which are sometimes puched out of the parks and into the residential area then over to the business area then to the flood channel then back to the parks then back to the residential area... Anyway, thanks to the "term limits" we voted for she is on her way out soon.

When Rigo first took office homelessness was not a major issue.
