Thank you Tehachapi News for addressing the current question in a poll.  If you haven't checked it out ...you should! :)

Also the next City Council meeting on the 17th will address the current moratorium on the building of new subdivisions. As all of you know this doesn't just effect the city, but also all of those in the surrounding areas. You do not have to live in the city to speak!! Please go and let your feelings on this issue be heard!

Also if you feel that there should be a limit regarding the terms the council members serve now would be the time to go and support Mr.Beckham.
