Martinez on Porterville's image
question:
Porterville voters are being asked in this election to make the city's motto "In God We Trust." Is adopting the new city motto a good idea? Why or why not?
Other than changing or not changing the city's motto, how else would promote the city and help improve its image? answer:
I believe that the voters in Porterville have the right to choose our city's motto. Hence, I believe that adopting a new city motto is a good idea, assuming that this becomes a reality.
First of all, I believe that Porterville has a very good image and that improving our image is a matter recognizing the uniqueness of our community. For me, it is obvious that we will continue to promote the positive aspects of our community by reinforcing all the elements that make Porterville a very desirable community to live in. It is equally important to recognize and accept the negatives and confront them diligently as a creative community with the resolve that has always distinguished us.
