President Obama has already initiated the largest expansion of the federal government since World War II. During the first 100 days of his presidency, Obama signed a $787 billion stimulus bill into law, proposed a staggering $3.6 trillion budget for the next fiscal year, took over a massive $700 billion Wall Street bailout program, and created other multi-billion dollar “porkulus” pro...

An expected but late entry into the race for a state Senate seat that serves much of greater Fallbrook area has touched off a rough-and-tumble sprint among three or more Republican rivals. A recent decision by Assemblyman Joel Anderson to plunge into a race for state Senate has sharpened the political lines and intensified the finger pointing leading up to the June 8 primary. The primary campaign has taken on the tone of a no-holds-barred, winner-take-all contest. “It’s going to be three months of craziness,” predicted River... Full story
I would like to address one part of the lengthy mission statement of Fallbrook Union Elementary School District (FUESD); “...to develop academic skills that will empower (students) ... to perform successfully in ... society.” While I was a Calif. credentialed teacher I was told not to teach life skills by the administrations I worked for, only the curriculum outlined. To perform successfully in society means how to figure out and live by a working budget as an adult; how to fill out a credit application and why; what an aut...

FALLBROOK – Michael G. Paster of Fallbrook has announced his candidacy as a Libertarian for the 49th Congressional District of Calif. “Our Congress has neglected to fulfill very few promises our representatives made in order for their constituents to vote them into office,” said Paster. “This is true for both Democrats and Republicans. Very few elected officials will do anything that may risk their re-election or election money.” “I have no connection to any special interest groups or favors to repay,” said Paster.... Full story

The SR76 project is finally starting much to the joy of some and the chagrin of others. Do the voters/taxpayers really understand what is happening here? Do we, the taxpayers have to pay for an obsolete project before it even begins? We have all seen the traffic jams from Interstate 5 to Melrose. Now it’s being moved to Mission and then later to Interstate 15. On March 16, 2009, the Fallbrook Community Planning Group and Fallbrook Design Review Board recommended and passed a motion for a southerly route due to less impact d...

They have 2,000 miles of sky-high ice and snow at the South Pole; it never gets enough sunlight to melt the ice and snow. Scientists claim more pollution in one volcano than in all the cars in the world driving 60 miles-per-hour. Please do not tell Al Gore; he could get a heart attack because he will lose all those billions that he needs for his old age. John S. Cardona... Full story
FPUD’s Keith Battle stated he opposed higher water rates when he ran for the board of director’s position (advertisement, Village News, Oct. 23, 2008). I promised I would fight to lower FPUD’s sewer and water rates. One year later it is obvious Battle is a typical fairytale politician. Since election time, we have experienced one large increase in water rates; then water rationing with draconian increases in water rates for high water users in the hot summer months. Now we are facing another increase in water rates. FPUD’s GM...
