Letter: No man behind the curtain at Hazel Hawkins

When a fiscal crisis hits our beloved hospital like a tornado we seem to become like Dorothy searching for a wizard to save it. Let’s follow the yellow brick road to Oz to learn with Dorothy and her companions about the wizard, who is...

Kosmicki: With affordable housing, county must get even bolder

San Benito County took a step forward Jan. 17 when the Board of Supervisors approved an updated Affordable Housing Ordinance, but that step forward should be even bolder.  Supervisors unanimously approved an update to the ordinance after months of meetings in 2022 by the Housing...

Letter: Compromise for new school

The San Benito High School district has formed a committee to begin planning for a second high school in San Benito county. As I have written many times I think this would, to put it nicely, not be a very good thing for the...

Letter: Reconnect the cart

Re: Board urges No on Q, Free Lance Nov. 4, 2022. What a shocking way to focus a reader's attention. That headline jolted me to attentive reading to confirm that the supervisors did approve a resolution to oppose Measure Q. It seems that the supes...

Letter to the editor: Is development good or bad?
