The headline “Should city sweep private streets” was misleading implying Huntington Park was asking for something for nothing. It should have been “Should city collect surface water management fees and not sweep streets, even though private?”

As a community, we pay nearly $57000 annually for SWM fees including utility tax thereon and feel we should at least get $6000 worth of street sweeping for that money.

The rest of the article was fair, just the headline questionable.
