“Vice Mayor Christina Fugazi says that when you come right down to it, the votes cast last week by council colleagues Michael Tubbs, Elbert Holman and Susan Lofthus can be interpreted only one way. Those three, Fugazi said, seemingly must be opposed to reopening the Fair Oaks Library in economically disadvantaged east Stockton.”

“Vince Hernandez believes the time has come for serious movement toward the city expanding Manteca’s library facilities. That, however, doesn’t mean the Manteca City Council member wants to see the proposal for a $33 million ‘main’ library expansion on Center Street dusted off — far from it. Instead he wants to see smaller branch libraries placed around Manteca to make them more accessible.”

“Enough games and political posturing. Invest in the east side and the community at large and honor the promise passed by voters. Reopen Fair Oaks Public Library this year.”
from the Stockton Record
“Post-bankrupt Stockton: the games begin. On this team, City Manager Kurt Wilson, the city’s fiscal team and (hopefully) a council that knows the city must exercise continued fiscal restraint. On the other team — this time — former library chief Colleen Foster, literacy buffs, populists, activists and residents of southeast Stockton who want the Fair Oaks Library branch reopened.”
