The California Retired Teachers Association takes this time to honor those educators who have given so much. Teachers often reach into their own pockets for materials and programs that budgets do not cover. Teachers are not eligible for Social Security so their pension is their only guaranteed income in retirement. Just as private sector retirees rely on Social Security, retired teachers rely on CalSTRS. The average teacher works more hours in nine months than the average 40-hour employee does in a year. As the Senate...
I spent this last week tearing down old posters and signs from utility poles. Some dated a month ago for garage sales. I personally consider this trash. The municipal code says it is “unlawful for any person to nail, tack, paste, paint or otherwise attach any poster, bill or other advertising material” to trees, poles and public fixtures. But for those who like the legal aspect: 142.1206 Violations of Sign Regulations (a) It is unlawful to do the following: (1) Place, post, paint or secure any sign, pennant, flag, ban... Full story

I have a sincere request that we as a community come together and help raise money for the victims’ families d...

This petition is in response to the many complaints I have heard from Fallbrook business owners over the County’s recent actions and “harassment” of our local businesses. Many feel that the County, with the support of members of our Design and Review Committee (DRC), has been working to discourage and thwart the efforts of our business community by restricting the way we try to promote and grow our businesses through the use of a variety of signs and banners. These anti-sign, anti-business policies have only hurt those of us... Full story
