County recently gave Danco $5 million dollars for the Downtowner yet we have been priced out

About 60 seniors showed up with balloons, "Save Our Seniors", in a protest organized by Hilary Moser. The photo above only captures a handful of seniors who will speak in a few minutes during public comment and tell the County exactly what they think.

So today's public comment will not be short. I spoke to two seniors before the Board of Supervisor's afternoon session. Corrine Soyster said, "The County recently gave Danco $5 million dollars to renovate the Downtowner. Yet, we have been priced out It is time the County stop subsidizing out of County interests."

The seniors are from the Lazy J Ranch and are seeking rent stabilization for mobile home parks, said Judy Mackee.


Judy Mackee said that seniors end up at mobile homes as a last resort, many are on SSI and disability. "There will come a point where we can't afford rent and there will be no where for us to go."
