While Mr Davis makes a valid point, we have never had a City Official who runs a permitting business. For whatever it’s worth, I disagree with the opinion of the COE and whichever way you slice it; this is a conflict of interest. And someone kindly remove that photo of Melissa Castro sitting on the Dais with the City Seal behind her. The Dais does not endorse MED Expeditors. You don’t see our Mayor holding a gavel advertising his construction company! Take it down.

Nepotism is not a bad thing, it is the usual way of doing business---in BOTH Cities!!!
It’s a sad reality however it does not make it right.
