This isn’t truly a State of Tulare address for the citizens of Tulare, it’s really a Chamber of Commerce money raising and hobnobbing event. If you can pay the $65 – $75 dollars to sit and listen to information that should be given at an open to the public City Counsil meeting, then by all means dress up to the nines and eat and drink with the elites.
