Big turnout being organized for Elk Grove City Council meeting by Oak Rose project opponents
Although the professional staff at the city of Elk Grove led by city attorney Jonathan Hobbs are recommending the Elk Grove City Council approve a controversial affordable housing project, opposition remains.
A large crowd is expected when the Elk Grove City Council convenes this Wednesday at 6 p.m. Organizers are hoping to rally support to convince Democratic Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and her city council once again to deny the city council District 2 project. Singh-Allen and District 2 City Councilmember Rod Brewer have expressed dismay with state laws, such as Senate Bill 35, that they say are being unfairly applied to the city.
EGN has been contacted by those organizers and asked to post a message encouraging opponents to have their voices heard. In the spirit of civic participation, below is the verbatim statement EGN has received and asked to distribute.
