Committee meets with Candidates

The CEPCO Job Creation Committee met with a number of new candidates for Chico City Council. With the election less than two weeks away it is very important for Chico citizens to get out and cast votes for the candidates of your choice.

CEPCO does not endorse candidates as an organization. However, our goal with elected officials is to insure that a business perspective is shared with policy makers. This week the Committee met with City Council candidates Mark Sorensen and Joe Valente.

Both candidates are local business people and have a strong pro-business philosophy. Mark Sorensen stressed the financial situation of the City and the over estimate in sales tax revenue. Joe Valente stressed the need for a restructuring of the budget situation in the City. Both candidates talked about their concern of the role of the Planning Commission.

The next CEPCO Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday Morning November 6th, 7:30 a.m. at the Uptime Co-Working Studio at 101 Salem Street, Second floor.
