    I will turn Palmdale into the next Silicon Valley. Expect cutting-edge changes, forward-looking ideas, and world-class management.

      Your goals are obvious, the question is how are we going to get there with a paranoid and self serving City Council and Mayor. The elected officials in Palmdale have poor organizational skills and are insecure in their dealings with staff. They are a mess!

    “Seeks applications” means “need some names before we appoint our cronies.” Did anyone expect anything else from Sellout Steve?

    Something is not correct here. Bart Avery has served with honor and distinction. By advertising the position says he is not going to be reappointed by the portly Mayor. I notice there is another open seat not advertised for new applicants to be considered for a appointment which should mean they retain their seat. There is no team leading Palmdale any more. Congratulations to Rex for imposing districting that has created a bunch of fifdoms. This new leadership in Palmdale has created nothing but chaos. Our City has lost its edge.

      The disfunction in the Palmdale City Council has been going on for the last couple of years now. It will be interesting to see who Rex wants for a Palmdale appointment. Maybe it’s DUI Drew.
