Chico City Council

• Mark Sorensen
• Bob Evans
• Bob Kromer

ps strongly opposes the Chico City Council incumbents because they (excluding Larry Wahl) cost the city over a million dollars in a lawsuit that could have been avoided. Our City Attoreny warned them, but they ignored his advice and acted to reverse their position and shut down a legal subdivision. This cost the taxpayers big time when it went to court and the city lost! We say fire this current city council – we strongly support Sorensen, Evans and Kromer, they are our best hope for good city government!
