Power and Privilege ?

and no punishment or disciplinary action.


 

Back in the summer of 2012. North Woodside Avenue mysteriously changed from a two way traffic street, to a one way only street.

MANY RESIDENTS COMPLAINED ABOUT IT,   THE CHANGE NEVER APPEARED IN THE LODI MAYOR & COUNCIL AGENDAS, OR MINUTES, UNTIL NOVEMBER 27,  2012. THE TRAFFIC SIGNS WERE PUT INTO PLACE PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.

YOU MIGHT SAY, "SO WHAT", THIS HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO. 

IT HARKENS BACK TO THE "POWER & PRIVILEGE, NO
PUNISHMENT OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION" TAKEN  AGAINST THE INDIVIDUALS WHO, SUGGESTED IT, AUTHORIZED IT, IMPLEMENTED IT, OR THOSE WHO KNEW ABOUT IT.

DOES THIS TYPE OF THING STILL HAPPEN IN LODI?

OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW WHO LIVES/LIVED ON NORTH WOODSIDE AVENUE.
