  2. I took the classing it was a very good way to learn about my city. It was so informative that I now know our elected council members are not the britest bulbs in the box. Why do they work against the very things that make Palmdale such a great City? They seem to have a follow another Cities leadership model. The CCA that signed our power consumpsion to another company is not good program for the ratepayers. Our elected officials should take this class and learn what our City is all about.
