Inland Empire Division Lunch Meeting Regional Legislative Update.
Council Member Henderson had an opportunity to briefly meet with Senator Richard
Roth, however, his Chief of Staff, Gilbert Martinez provided valuable input and insight.
Council Member Henderson also suggested that the City of Grand Terrace take it to the
next level in terms of legislative activity. If the City is to be successful in obtaining funds
for the City’s priorities, that is a 24/7, 365-day activity for those organizations that have
proven to be successful.
Congressman Pete Aguilar just announced some significant contributions to local cities
and hospitals with funds that could come to Grand Terrace if the effort is made. Council
Member Henderson’s challenge is to establish, maintain, and nurture the required
relationships that are necessary to have an effective legislative agenda and the
implementation of the programs associated with that agenda.
