EGN refunds advertising purchase to Singh-Allen citing the Elk Grove City Council’s unanimous denial of supportive housing

Regular readers may have noticed the paid political advertisements on ElkGroveNews.net for Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen. The ads started running in mid-July and were embedded in each story.

Last week Singh-Allen, along with Elk Grove Vice Mayor Darren Suen and Elk Grove City Councilmembers Pat Hume, Stephanie Nguyen, and Darren Suen, denied a proposed supportive housing project in the city’s Old Town Special Planning Area. Their vote contradicts the city’s proclamation of being a City of Compassion.

The partners who own ElkGroveNews.net have decided the City Council’s and specifically Mayor Singh-Allen’s denial is in stark contrast to their values and have decided to remove Singh-Allen’s ads and refund their purchases in its entirety. The letter to the Mayor’s campaign can be viewed below.
