Is Collective Bargaining a Right?~By Al Segalla |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 03/07/2011 10:13 AM
|
| With the huge public sector retirement dilemma, most of the media and practically all unions now express the collective bargaining process as a “right”. However, the unions themselves used to disapprove of collective bargaining in the public sector. As an example, Arnold Zander, the Wisconsin union organizer who became the first president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, wrote in 1940 that AFSCME saw .... |

What’s CalPERS Really Going to Cost Us?....2nd Edition~By David Tunno |
|
Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 03/07/2011 12:46 PM
|
| Prompted by the growing awareness of the financial impact of public employee retirement plans, the Calaveras County Taxpayers Association has sought data from the County with which to calculate the growing debt created by those plans and the keeper of those retirement funds, CalPERS. Thus far, according to CCTA President Al Segalla, the County’s disclosures have come up far short, including a response CCTA received to a request for information on the CalPERS criteria for determining County retirement contributions. “You are asking for information not documents. The county is in no position to ..... |

I think I have a solution for the causes of the decline in home and business construction in Calaveras County over the past few years.
1- The Red Legged frog in Cosgrove Creek.
2-Vernal Pools throughout the County.
3-Tiger Salamander seen near Burson.
4-Elderberry Bushes & Elderberry Beetles. Near San Andreas new jail site and elsewhere.
5-Sequoia Tree, looks like it might die.....

Dear Editor, I wish I had some of those blue ribbons to hand out after our power outage. Our neighbor's reached out to each other to make sure everyone was o.k. If it meant extra hands to shovel and get fire wood, they were right there. If it meant clearing a driveway, again, so someone could come home from the hospital,they were there......

Letter to the Editor~By The Calaveras Humane Society |

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 02/06/2011 01:36 PM

Editor, One week ago the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department rescued ten horses from living in deplorable conditions. Pictures in newspapers, on the internet and on television painted a clear picture of the conditions in which these animals suffered. The Calaveras Humane Society is proud of the actions of the Sheriff’s department, Sgt Laurie Murray and the Animal Control officers in rescuing these horses and placing them in a secure, healthy and caring environment. We also thank Re Horse Rescue in Tuolumne County for moving the horses to that safe environment......

Letter to the Editor on Calaveras Unified Schools ~by Mark Campbell |

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 02/05/2011 08:35 AM
|
Letter to the Editor, A component of the budget proposed by Governor Jerry Brown is a possible ballot measure that would extend taxes (including income and sales taxes) that are currently in place. The purpose of this letter is not to persuade any voter in any particular direction. However, it is important that you are aware of the potential impact on Calaveras Unified School District (CUSD), should the proposed tax extensions be eliminated.....

| First, let me thank you for the story you did...we appreciate all the stories out there, most of them anyway, my dad was much loved & honored, a much decorated vietnam vet who did 3 tours. He was extremely fit for his age & those dogs tore him up. It was painfully obvious that he fought hard for his life. Sheryl is pleading not guilty, after all my dad did for her, she is prolonging our need for closure. There have been 4 continuances just for the pre-lim!! People in the DA's office have told me that .... |

Dear Editor, We were in Sonora today for errands, etc. and were happy to see the truck from Re-Horse Rescue in the parking lot. I went in to OSH and asked around to find the wonderful people who helped save the horses last week. It didn't take long at all. I gave her our profound thanks for taking the horses in. I reached in to my wallet to give her all I had, a ten dollar bill. She says that will buy 2 bales of hay. It isn't much but it was enough to let them know they did something very special. We exchanged hugs and I told her that what they did was very extraordinary. So, if you have an extra ten dollars, send it their way and know it will buy 2 bales of hay.....

| "On Friday January 28, just over a year after my initial arrest, my case has finally settled. I was originally charged with three felonies after I sold an ounce of marijuana to an undercover officer posing as a medical patient. The case has ended with me pleading guilty to a misdemeanor. I have been found guilty of violating Section 32 of the penal code, which basically says that I am guilty of having knowledge that a felony was committed by another person...... |

A Letter of Gratitude~by Bertha Underhill |

| We can’t give enough “THANKS” to Mike Steineke and his crew from the Vallecito Conservation Camp for the hard work and effort they have put into the overall beautiful maintenance of White Pines Park and the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum. While we depend on volunteer’s time for daily upkeep and spring cleaning, Mike and his crew have the time and ability to tackle the large projects such as taking down dangerous trees, cleaning brush out creeks, taking care of major burn piles, keeping overgrowth from the lake and helping to build walking trails. In addition to these Calaveras County Water District ..... |
