    1. “…bridging the gap between the Armenian community and the City of Burbank” What Gap? The city already bends over backwards for this group and has done so for decades.

      • The city has bent over backwards? How so? Do you realize how much tax revenue our wonderful Armenian community is contributing to this city? The city itself was an average city back when I moved in 35 years ago. In a short time this city bloomed and is following the footsteps of our affluent City of Glendale next door, thanks to Armenians. Everything Armenians touch turns into gold, “Joel Schlossman.”

    2. Protected speech is alive and well. That said, it is divisive for our government and local business community to hyper-focus on ethnic groups, in my opinion. No accommodation, grant, support, or opportunity of any kind provided for by tax or ratepayers should be based on ethnic group or ethnic representation.
