Besides primarily looking out for their Camden neighborhood, the dynamic duo will largely shine in the more private social gatherings of the Elk Grove elite on Friday and Saturday nights. And when the COVID restrictions are lifted and normal Council meetings resume, I propose the City staff order them a wide leather chair built for-two, and give them a name plate that reads "Councilmembers Angela and Kevin Spease.

District 3 has a horrible track record when it comes to the first two white male Republicans to hold the seat with that statement.<br /><br />In my opinion, both felt they owned the seat, could do exactly what they pleased and feed off of their self-aggrandized power. FPPC violations, felony real estate fraud charges, grand jury felony conflict of interest charges, special investigations, threatening citizens, asking for discounts at businesses around town and much more. You know, pulling the "Don't you know who I am" routine to get special treatment. God forbid one had to wait in line for a table at Leatherby's. Those damn kids can wait!<br /><br />And let's not forget receiving large campaign donations, ski trips, bottles of wine and then championing donors special interest wants.<br /><br />Kevin Spease says he is going to follow in his successor's footsteps. Let's hope not!<br /><br />And the people must keep watch!Eye on Elk Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912443616239693675noreply@blogger.com
