Sterling, Arapostathis and Ewin Vote to Keep La Mesa a ‘Free Trade’ Town

City Council majority voted in favor of the constitutional principles of limited government and personal freedom.

La Mesa Council members Ruth Sterling, Mark Arapostathis and Ernie Ewin voted in favor of the Constitutional principles of limited government and personal freedom. We all stand a little taller as a result.

It may have been a very difficult decision with passionate appeals on either side. The most important decisions are, by nature, the most difficult. The supporting principle here is that the Fair Trade proponents still have every freedom to market their ideals to the business community and consuming public on the merits of their message. And without the use of public resources to persuade or discourage anyone, we all win.

That is truly Fair Trade!
