Though I always tear through my weekly copy of Valley News to get to your Opinion column first, I must say that I was surprised and disappointed with your most recent discussion in defense of Mr. Assange. The issue with Mr. Assange is not freedom of the press, which I declare is a right we all will agree with and support vigorously but an issue of espionage and subterfuge. If Mr. Assange wants to voice opinions or even facts in evidence on corruption or malfeasance on the part of any elected or appointed official, I would agr... Full story

Assemblymember Marie Waldron 75th District What happens to Sexually Violent Predators once they’ve served their sentences? Apparently, they get dumped in rural San Diego County. Rural areas lack resources to supervise conditionally released SVPs and guarantee public safety. In San Diego County, multiple SVPs have been placed in Jacumba Hot Springs, Campo and Boulevard, with proposed placements in communities like Pauma Valley and Borrego Springs. I’ve written letters in the past opposing placement of SVPs in rural com... Full story
Supervisor Jim Desmond 5th District One of the questions I get asked frequently is, “What does a Supervisor supervise?” Many people aren’t sure what a County Supervisor does, so I wanted to explain a bit about what my role is as your county representative. The county is the local government entity for the unincorporated area (everywhere not in a city). In North County, that entails Valley Center, Fallbrook, Bonsall, Borrego Springs, Pauma Valley, and Rainbow, Ranchita...just to name a few communities. For these commu... Full story
There was nothing last week warranting my rebuttal. There was Mr. Maynard’s claim that a border wall would keep out illegal immigrants. However, there’s a device that makes the wall totally ineffective: it’s called a ladder. So let’s talk about America’s history of slavery. Republican leaders claim that Critical Race Theory teaches children to feel guilty for our country’s history of slavery. It does not. It doesn’t require a PhD to understand that no one is responsible for the actions – good or bad – of their predecessors: p... Full story

As a co-author of this bill, we are increasing the renters’ tax credit for the first time in 42 years to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for couples and individuals wit... Full story

Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to The Village News It is my hope you never discover what Covid is like. Cause, it ain’t nothing. For me, it was a rough week. Here’s what happened to us. First of all, everyone that boarded the Grand Princess ship headed to Hawaii April 4 had to show proof of a supervised-negative-Covid test result taken within the last 48-hours before boarding in San Pedro. Since we are both vaccinated early and boostered one time each, neither of us were concerned about getting a nega... Full story
