As we approach the upcoming election, just under 100 days away, much of the attention has been on national politics. However, I want to draw your focus to a vitally important issue that we have the power to change right here in our state.

In 2016, Prop 47 was passed, but it created loopholes that have been exploited by criminals, allowing theft up to $950 a day without... Full story

I was thoroughly dismayed when I saw it. Save Our Forest planted jacaranda trees next to the new bus stop on Brandon and Mission roads. The comment was “oh won't they be beautiful. Oh won't they be a mess.” They are such messy and dirty trees with leaf shed and flower shed. Who's going to clean up the mess? Leaves and flowers will be tracked into the bus and also swept onto the already challenged drainage ditch that has been repaired several times. That corner floods a lot and the jacaranda trees will not help. Also, I though... Full story
The restaurant chain Buca di Beppo has closed 12 restaurants and declared bankruptcy. This should teach all other restaurants, chain or personally-owned, about the need to advertise rather than to seek free publicity.
