I was born and raised in Oxnard. It is the only city I have really known. Even though my family remains true to our city, the city hasn’t remained true to my family.
Oxnard says that it is a “City that Cares.� However, it has shown it does not care. April 1, around 9:30 p.m., I was traveling down Gonzales Road, going the speed limit, if that, when I hit a huge pothole. My car isn’t very big, so the pothole damaged my car. I had two witnesses in the car with me and all of us noticed something was wrong once my steering wheel started to shake.
After paying a little bit more than $600 to repair the damage to my car, I filed a claim with the city of Oxnard. The city rejected my claim. This is injustice to the people who live and drive in Oxnard. If city officials really cared, they would make an effort to keep our roads in decent condition.
