James D. Veltmeyer, M.D. Special to Village News Of all the wonderful ratholes the federal government has devised for tossing down billions of taxpayer dollars, none is more outrageous than so-called “foreign aid,” an annual rip-off costing Americans more than $50 billion. And that $50 billion does not include the hundreds of billions within the defense budget that are simply disguised foreign aid, especially to the NATO nations whose militaries we’ve been subsidizing for 60ty years. It is ironic that the Democrats’ impeachme... Full story

I want to say thank you to the Fallbrook Village Association and CSA 81 for providing the funds to build the fence around the park located on Beech Street. I, for one, think it’s a much safer park now. It’s better for a people who want to have a family picnic, a birthday party with lots of children, a reunion, large family get-togethers, small wedding, etc. in a secure area without worrying about children running into the street on South Mission Road. It’s an alternative to Live Oak Park. If I knew a food vendor or a taco... Full story
With the Fallbrook Public Utility District asking for $5 and the North County Fire Protection District asking for $6 that is $11 per month; $11 times 12 months is $132 per year extra per parcel on the tax bill, and there is no limit on how high this may go, as all the agencies have to do is say “Let’s raise the rate.” Proposition 13 has no control over this type of taxation. This tax situation is how Proposition 13 came into being. The politicians just acted like it was an OPM bank (other people’s money), and the people... Full story
