As the year draws to a close, it’s important to reflect on the core purpose of this blog. Our goal has always been to promote responsible, sustainable, and transparent governance in El Cerrito. Each post we publish is aligned with this objective.
At El Cerrito Community for Responsible Government, we’re aware that some of our viewpoints might not be widely accepted and could cause discomfort. This is a community with deep roots, where many have longstanding relationships with city officials and staff. There are also valid concerns about property values, excessive fees, and various other local issues. Despite this, we remain committed to fostering transparency in our discussions.

We welcome your feedback, especially if you spot any inaccuracies or feel something has been overlooked in our posts. However, we urge you to avoid personal attacks, spreading falsehoods, or requesting us to engage directly with city staff. If direct contact with city officials were an effective solution to these issues, there would be no need for this blog.
We appreciate your understanding and engagement with our content. Wishing you all
Happy Holidays and a reflective end to the year.
