Gov. Jerry Brown gave his 16th, and final, State of the State address, Jan. 25. Term limits prevent future governors from matching that record. Why do we do a “State of the State” anyway?

I read the “Hamilton” review (Jan. 18 issue of Village News) that suggested it was “a quirky play with an angry point of view” just before going to see it myself. I thoroughly enjoyed the play.

I have written to my representatives to tell them that Americans deserve better. Leaders that lead and not tweet. Leaders that keep Americans in the forefront of what they do in Congress. Seriously, we are being abused by the GOP and this administration. Please stop and think about those of us that are counting on you to put your best effort forward. Duncan Hunter that means you. I know that I can count on Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris. Congress is suppose to be a body of members that negotiates and looks to move the... Full story
