Norco Feasibility Feud Over Budget Comparisons
Dr. John Koning, chairman of the Citizens Committee to Incorporate Norco, denounces opposition claims as distortions. He cites the Annual Report of Financial Transactions and compares Norco to Artesia Bell Gardens Cudahy Duarte La Mirada Saratoga Rosemead, arguing many listed towns are older and rely on county or private contracts for services. Koning defends Lakewood as precedent and notes the Feasibility Report targets an overhead minimal city rather than a true minimal city.
