Letter to the Editor: City of Inglewood is threatening homeowners

Dear 2UrbanGirls,

My neighbors and I have been on the waiting list to receive sound insulation windows for over a year.  Now that we have received the go ahead to have the work done, we are in a stay home order due to the coronavirus.

We have contacted the city’s Sound Insulation department where director Bettye Griffith is no longer there.  According to the woman answering the phone, who identified herself as “Jasmine” stated that Griffith is on leave for an undetermined amount of time.

We have asked to postpone the work, as to not be potentially exposed to the virus, by city workers and were told no.  In fact, they threatened to remove us from the list if we don’t allow them to continue.  The mayor cares more about construction than our health.

You can see the workers entering homes with NO protective equipment, face masks or gloves and they are threatening our health by potentially giving us this deadly disease.

Seniors are also impacted as they can no longer have meals delivered to their homes. They are forced to drive to the senior center to pickup frozen food.

Mayor Butts doesn’t give a fuck about us residents otherwise he wouldn’t be writing letters asking for construction work to continue that jeopardizes the health of thousands of city employees and residents.

Pissed off in Inglewood
