The headlines continue to indicate the city is in a major economic slump. Budget shortfalls of up to $8 million annually, 5,000 jobs cut from City Hall and millions worth of capital improvements put on hold, prove that Santa Monica is suffering — not just in government, but also in business.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know: “Is the City of Santa Monica doing everything it can to promote and support businesses here? What suggestions can you offer the powers that be?”

Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in Friday’s paper. Please limit your comments to a minute or less; it might help to think first about the wording of your response.
