• Coffee With The Mayor

I counted fifteen residents that attended the combo Coffee With The Mayor/Coffee With A Cop event at The Bean at The Barn.
Mayor Ben Benoit addressing the concerns of the citizens, getting input from Chief Dan Anne and City Manager Gary Nordquist. 
Both Mayor Ben Benoit, and Wildomar Chief of Police took turns addressing the concerns of those in attendance. Topics ranging from homeless issues, road repair, code enforcement, Walmart, MSJC, parks, and others.

Everyone had a chance to ask a question, or three, and each answer was pretty complete. When I had a chance to ask a question, I thanked the Mayor for hosting such a forum, and was appreciative of the answers to all the important topics. Looking forward to the next one. ☺

  1. Did they address the homeless issue?

    1. Like mentioned below, it was addressed, but not solved. There really isn't any solution on a city level. Any real solution would come with a ton of controversy and cost a lot of money, and be on a state level.

  2. The issue was addressed, but not solved, other than to say voting for the 1 cent sales tax increase would help. This right after they tell you not to enable the homeless by giving them money.

    1. I wonder how much would be enough? I know we have to pay something, but I see it more as a county or state issue, and that means that they should be funding it. In the end, the moneys would still be coming out of our pockets, but there would be more of a chance for a uniform solution. The rule of unintended consequences suggests that if such programs are done wrong, they can end up attracting more to the area.
