Dear Editor:

            My commendations to 4 of the 5 members of the Palmdale City Council (the man out, being Steve Knight), who voted to require the Palmdale City Government to hire local contractors.

            I also wish to commend Antelope Valley College Trustee Steve Fox for following suit and asking the college administrators to prepare similar regulations to require the college to purchase from local vendors.

            My commendations to Mayor Ledford, his 3 council members, and Trustee Fox, but not to the “anti-local vendor” councilman, Steve Knight.
