Residents of Watsonville, regardless of their voter registration or citizen status, can now apply to serve on city commissions.

Commissions that advise the Watsonville City Council on issues around the library, land use, and parks and recreation all have openings available to city residents. In November, Watsonville passed Measure V, allowing undocumented residents and those younger than 18 to apply for commission positions.

People interested in serving on a city board or commission can submit an application online, in person, or by mailing it to the City Clerk’s Office, Civic Plaza Building, 275 Main St., Top Floor, Watsonville 95076.

Applications will continuously be accepted until the city council makes appointments.

The progressive breakdwon of national sovereignty via the Soros open borders, open society agenda.

1st “sanctuary cities”

Then citizenship, or legal resident status unimportant for employment.

Then citizenship or legal resident status unimportant to serve in government no-elected positions.

Then citizenship or legal resident status unimportant to vote.

Then citizenship or legal resident status unimportant for being elected to public office.

Already, California state accepted an illegal alien into taxpayer funded college and on to getting a degree in law, taking the state bar exam and becoming a legal licensed lawyer.

I can’t wait until the rest of the world follows suit.

Because I’ve always wanted to serve in the British House of Lords, even though I’m neither British nor a lord.

The fancy outfits do look rather expensive. I hope they come free with the job.

Watsonville has a history of stupidity:

Remove George Washington statue from watsonville plaza

The Issue

Remove Washington bust from Watsonville Plaza
Washington owned 100s of Slaves during his lifetime. He also aided in the genocide of the Indigenous people of this land.
He is the epitome of White Supremacy!
If we are going to display representations of men like Washington in a public space, we should then include features that reflect their dark, inhumane and genocidal qualities as well!
We urge the community to sign this petition to take down this blatant display of racism and white supremacy standing so boldly in Downtown Watsonville.
If monuments are meant to be permanent tributes to individuals and what they stand for, this idea is laden with many flaws
and this bust does not reflect the values of our community and it MUST be removed

My grandparents lived in Watsonville when it was a small, quaint and orderly farm community.

No so now.

They called it the artichoke capitol but I understand it is Castroville that is the artichoke capital.

I was stationed at Moss Landing. Watsonville was a Mexican colony even back then.
