Butte County Democrats Condemn the Attacks on Scott Huber
The Butte County Democratic Party is 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 by the agitators who, in the pursuit of political advantage, cost Chico City Councilor Scott Huber his employment.
Members of the political action committee 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗼 and other conservative groups targeted a public official’s employer, threatening not only his livelihood, but the viability of the employer’s business itself. Council member Huber resigned from his position as a result.
Chico City Councilmember Alex Brown Condemns the Harassment of Scott Huber
Let’s get clear on something. Being a Councilmember is not a livelihood. If you are not retired or otherwise do not need to work, you have a job outside of public service when you take on this role. Most of us serve because we want to make a difference in our community, and we do the work of elected officials outside of our jobs/careers. I am so disappointed and disgusted to hear about the actions taken by community members which led to loss of employment for my fellow Councilmember, Scott Huber. I condemn it wholeheartedly, and call on my fellow Councilmembers to do the same. It is the right and decent thing to do.

I am writing you today to again advocate for the renewal of the Shelter Crisis Declaration. If you read no further, know this: to fail to renew the shelter crisis declaration is to expose the city to unnecessary liability at the exact time when we most need that protection. It would be ethically and fiscally irresponsible.
