"Why does Gilroy only clean up for company? I have lived in Gilroy for 20+ years. I own a business in Gilroy, and it seems the only time any cleanup or weed cutting is done is when the Garlic Festival is happening. Maybe they should put aside money for diesel tractors so the vegetation can be cut more than once a year. Why is it only cleaned for visitors and not the residents whose taxes pay for these services and live here year-round, not just one weekend?"
