There’s a bit of a “reform” movement afoot in Oxnard, the region’s largest city.

Mayor Tom Holden won re-election even in the face of a district attorney’s investigation of some city officials, but the City Council has undergone some big changes.

Cleaning up City Hall is one thing. But adding an anti-business tone to Oxnard politics would undermine decades of work in supporting entrepreneurship and small business.
