Former Mayor Passes Away

Moreno Valley

– Former Mayor Bonnie Flickinger passed away last week at the age of 78. Flickinger, a Libertarian, served as a member of the Moreno Valley City Council from 1992 through 2010. When she was appointed by fellow council members to serve as the city’s mayor in 1993, Moreno Valley made history as the largest city in the nation with a Libertarian mayor.  She has been defined by her peers as a true Libertarian who, though she herself was an elected official, purportedly held a negative view of government in general.
