Mayor Gautereaux said that was corrects Councilman Morgan said he did not fully understan0A iu1d not have voted for it; he did not favor sending the City Attorney to the hearing to waste his time; the people in National City pay for school busses through taxes; the increase concerned people in San Diego; he only wanted to look out for the people he represented in National City.
