Mosquito money
Looks like La Puente Councilman Dan Holloway is taking over Mayor Louie Lujan’s seat on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees.
Lujan appointed Holloway in January, after Lujan resigned citing time constraints.
Board meetings are a once a month, at 7 a.m.
Holloway will get a $100 stipend per month if he attends that meeting. That stipend also covers any other meetings he may have to attend for other committees, according to vector control officials.
It’s a far cry from other appointed boards or districts, which can pay upwards of $150 per meeting. Must I remind everyone of Jennifer McLain’s water district story?
This person should be worried about the gang violence in his city instead of worrying about mosquitos. It is a shame the attention a man will seek just so he can have his name in the political arena. I have an idea, why don't you pay attention to the needs of your community instead of playing Mr. big shot politician. The killings and shootings around your city makes me want to stay out of la puente.
