Some of the biggest issues the city faces are coming to light finally, such as the $600,000 a year given to the Rialto and the gang violence. Mayor Bob O'Dekirk has brought a lot to light as well with his transition paper work. Noting a lot of the major concerns in the city was a great first step for mayor O'Dekirk and his transition team.
