Letter to the Editor~by David K. Singer

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 10/22/2010 03:30 PM
Dear Editor: On June 8th of this year, as I was watching the election results on television, my phone began to ring around 9:00pm. With only 5% of the precincts counted, the local newspapers were already calling to ask who I was going to endorse for District 5 Supervisor in the November runoff. I appreciate the sensitivity in allowing me time to deal with the disappointment. But in thinking about it, I concluded there was no need to rush into any kind of decision. After all, there was still a lot of time to “campaign”. There was 5 more months for the two remaining candidates to demonstrate their understanding of the issues, what ideas each have for operating the county with declining financial resources, and without .....

Letter to the Editor~by Sherri Reusche CUSD Board Trustee

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 10/21/2010 11:41 AM
Dear Editor, The State of California has decided to spiral our economy out of control and horrifically impact our Children’s Education. I was elected to be a Calaveras Unified School District (CUSD) School Board Trustee six years ago and have seen our District in good times and in bad. I have fought countless hours in Sacramento on behalf of our State’s children. As a Trustee I am always trying to educate anyone who will listen about the budget and the difficult decisions that must be made in order to keep our District solvent. We have very difficult decisions ahead of us and I am not sure all those involved understand the great magnitude of how desperate our School District is about to become....

Letter of Endorsement for Carolyn Lott~by Don Stump

Posted by: Granger_Hamilton on 10/11/2010 10:42 AM
I would like to introduce you to a remarkable individual. Carolyn Lott is a candidate for Yosemite Community College District trustee. It is rare to find such a qualified person to represent us in a local office. YCCD trustee is normally not a popular office that draws top quality candidates and Carolyn has the necessary qualifications that would easily position her to run for a state wide office. We are indeed fortunate she has decided to run for trustee. From teacher, to City Councilwoman, to distinguished facilitator, her career positions her to successfully represent our District in Modesto.....

Letter to the Editor~by Darren Spellman

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 10/08/2010 11:36 PM
I offer my apologies. I would like to express my regrets if I offended or disappointed any constituents of District 5 regarding the scheduled debate in Copperopolis on Wednesday 10 /13/2010.  That was certainly not my intention. I am not a politician.  I am a taxpayer, a husband, a father and friend, who wants the best for his community.  I have grown frustrated with a political process nationwide that has become so corrupt that the taxpayers never really have an opportunity to ask questions, voice concerns or even vent criticism of their elected officials and candidates for office in an open public forum.  The .....

There is speculation that Sellers may have been cited for having vicious dogs in the past. ..

Open letter to the Board of Supervisors. Letter To The Editor ~ By Cory Burnell

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 09/24/2010 07:16 AM
Dear Supervisors, A Mr. Sherman from San Andreas spoke about the U.S. Constitution before the Board of Supervisors on 8/24. While his ignorance could usually be dismissed as common, it was instead outrageous because he directed those who disagree with him to "go back" and do "research" after he had just butchered the document. So here's setting the record straight on the subject...
