County of San Diego Communications Office SAN DIEGO – The number of unvaccinated kindergartners in California has dropped two years in a row, and health officials hope to see it keep falling this upcoming school year as a result of a new state law that went into effect in July.

The new law exempts s...

About 500 people gathered at a Temecula historic site July 16 to mark a feat that one speaker likened to giving birth after a 50-year gestation period that was punctuated by daily bouts of morning sickness. And, much like the pain-laced emergence of a newborn child, the work and the wait paid off, said Temecula City Councilwoman Maryann Edwards. “It’s spectacular,” Edwards said as she scanned the newly-opened Vail Headquarters, which has finally emerged as one of Riverside County’s most historic and iconic sites. “It’s a...

Why do the political parties use a long, costly, time consuming and bureaucratic method to nominate one person to one position (president)? This is not a procedure stated in our constitution. Is it for publicity reasons? Is it so the party officers can manipulate the end results against the will of the “grassroots”? Randy Hartman...
“Americans owe nearly $1.3 trillion in student loan debt, spread out among about 43 million borrowers. In fact, the average Class of 2016 graduate has $37,172 in student loan debt, up six percent from last year.” Google: “A Look at the Shocking Student Loan Debt Statistics for 2016” Hillary and Bernie are in complete agreement that this is a totally unsatisfactory state of affairs and will work to make higher education affordable and available to all who meet college requirements. That’s affordable, not free. I know it c...
The article on the proposed BUSD bond for construction/repair of the new high school and repair of facilities quotes the cost as $58 million. That is absolutely wrong! The actual cost is approximately $87.1 million. That is the actual cost to be repaid on a $58 million debt for 25 years at 3 ½ percent. The school board and the Village News should be chastised for not bringing this up. Additionally, why should we taxpayers pay for repairs with a long term bond as opposed to payment with yearly operating expense money. Where...

SAN DIEGO – So much to buy and so little time. Yes, it’s back-to-school time around San Diego County. That means lots of shopping, from binders to backpacks, clothes, laptops, tablets and everything in between.
