Huntington Beach Mayor Pete Burns has repeatedly said that he does not consider himself a politician after taking office in 2022.
For a long time, a police officer and a large family have the attributes of five boys that he feels better.
In fact, his speech was partially anti -government, or at least a larger government at the Senior Center at the Senior Center in Central Park on Wednesday morning.
“We have to stop the rules,” Burns told the audience of more than 100 city government and business leaders. “I am about a small government. I don’t like the government. We’re going to touch anything, and this has been proven over time.
Burns, as mayor, made headlines about three months later in his year long, when he showed President Donald Trump’s desk on the desk on January 21. A month later, the council approved the “mega” plaque in the Central Library to celebrate its 50th birthday.
