Editor,
I am going to start this letter by congratulating Supervisor Jaime De La Cruz for his decision to drop the $5 million law suit against the county.
At the beginning, I felt the way they were treating him, he had to do what was necessary to defend himself. But after he had himself cleared, the longer he took to drop the suit the more he was hurting himself, the ones who elected him, the county’s and his relationship with his fellow supervisors. Now that he is clear, he has the opportunity to prove himself. His performance for the next four years is going to make him or vice versa.
In the Board meetings I have been attending, I have found Jaime very effective. He seems very aware of what is going on, cool and focused. I believe he deserves to serve his four years regardless of what his enemies think.
I find things have changed on this Board. They are taking their time and there is no rudeness like we used to have before. I have noticed in the past the more power they get, the more independent they become. At first they say “hello” or even shake your hand but with time most get so important they make it hard to reach them. I find this board to be humble. I hope they stay this way.
I read a letter written by Mike Smith on March 12. I could not agree more with him. As he said, the biggest problem with this county is the negative ones, the poor losers. They roll in the mud and cry if they don’t get things their way.
This is a man who seems like he is very aware of the county’s problems and is not afraid to tell it like it is. I believe the people of this county, if you would like to know what is going on, should read his letters and follow him. You can’t go wrong.
In my opinion, it is time to stop creating more problems. If you are not satisfied, wait for Election Day. That is the time to take revenge in a democratic way. Enough is enough.
I also would like to congratulate all of those who have been working so hard to make possible a home for the homeless. I always felt we should treat human beings as human beings. We thank God we are not in their shoes. Like always, just my opinion.
Amadeu Lima, Hollister
