This is complete bullshitt, and typical of the type of city council we have. You take away funding for one thing, you better take it away from all if you want to use the "save money" excuse. Hey, at least we will still have money to support the "Cesar Chavez" celebration right? Since that is so much more importaaaant than the 4th of July. F'cking pathetic.

Oh, but Cinco De Mayo can be celebrated? Ya, lets celebrate another country's holiday but not our own. Real patriotic.

We should celebrate Ocho de Cinco Day! I'm sure the City Council will approve because of the Spanish name.
