Guest View: Doubts on tax idea

Recently I was sent a flyer asking how I felt about giving away more money because someone figured out I just have too much. Of course it was in the form of a tax. This tax would be used to fix potholes, improve safety, make Highway 25 better, make other roads better, move money around, pay for unfunded liabilities, who knows.

When it comes to water, opponents of Measure J have been tellingly silent. They know this historic drought burning up the state is an urgent issue with San Benito residents, including farmers, vintners and ranchers.

Letter: Snow would serve city well

I have known Keith for over three years and he is a respectful and intelligent man. He became involved in our community shortly after moving here and attended many city and county meetings to learn about Hollister and San Benito County. He has an engineering background and suffered a very unfortunate industrial accident that has left him partially crippled and with a speech impediment but it definitely did not affect his brain or his interest in making a difference in our community. If you have read any of his letters to the editor you are aware of what I am saying. He will serve our city well if he is elected. He wants the city to be fiscally responsible and is very interested in making a difference for our youth. My vote is for Keith Snow.
