The wait is over after many years of being told a Miguel’s Jr was coming to Rialto only to find out the opposite. Now Rialto has a Miguel’s Jr and the newest addition to the Renaissance development will open up to serve the greater Rialto Area. Besides amazing food Miguels Jr is one of the last family owned businesses.

The original owners are still involved with the company and the children make up the top levels of the company. The company still uses the same cheese provider and has their hand stretched tortillas made without GUM a chemical additive that makes tortillas more elastic.

This isn’t their Grand Opening which will take place on May 2nd

City of Rialto Website Goes Down

16 Apr 2019 1 Comment

In the age of technology where we get all of our information it hurts when a website goes down, but outside of the Covered California website most of the time government websites are pretty bullet proof. Well since this morning the Rialto City website had a blue screen advertising other websites and stating that the City of Rialto’s domain had expired!!!

We called down to city hall to find out it wasn’t until an employee went onto the website that anyone was aware! This begs to question is the cities website domain available for purchase? We were curious so we went over to square space to find out. This is what we found:

So the cities domain name is good for now but this still means that if you need to access any information or phone numbers for the city you are at a loss and have to go down to an already understaffed city hall!!! We reached out to Mayor Robertson who said at the time we reached out that she was just made aware of the situation. City staffer Angela said that IT has been notified but gave no ETA for when the website would be back up!

If you are having website issues don’t let your website get pulled down and loose valuable time and money have our friends over at Mass Atom Studios help you with your website needs!

Rialto City Hall Hemorrhages High Ranking Staff

In a sign of what is going on under the surface of Rialto City Hall another high ranking longtime employee of the City of Rialto’s management team has left the city of Rialto. Human Resources and Risk Management Director Lucy Garcia has left the city of Rialto for another unknown agency. For the last year and a half the city has lost seven main leadership positions and has only managed to fill one of them. We learned late last month that Development Director and Assistant City Administrator Robb Steel will be leaving this August.

To make matters worse is the City is on its 3rd Interm City Administrator, the people that the city has offered code enforcement and city engineering jobs to turned them down and nobody wants to be our police chief so we brought back Kling who is on a mission to destroy the relationship between the community and the police. Nobody wants to work here and we should strongly question anyone who chooses to except a job here.

Sources inside city hall say that Lucy Garcia left because she was being asked to withhold information from employees and do things that were not ethical. The information coming out of city hall isn’t surprising to me since I watched Lucy get attacked by the city council over giving the Budget Advisory Committee the information we asked for and not holding things back.

I will point out once more there is no plan for dealing with our $150 Million in Unfunded Liabilities and they just keep adding more and more public safety positions. Just in the last Council Meeting in March the Police and Fire Departments have added staff that were frozen over future cost concerns. Now Rialto has a new police captain we can’t afford and the fire department is adding a Deputy Chief to the payroll.

Never in my life have I looked at such a blatant disregard for financial ethics and common sense.
