Opinion: Public needs more info on Covid-19
One of the cornerstones of our legal system and our society in general is the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but with the pandemic our leaders have switched it to guilty until proven innocent. The California Department of Public Health, in my opinion, is at or near the top of that list.
Letter: Yes on N: Separating fact from fiction
These lies are nothing new from Measure N’s opponents, who have a long track record of spreading fear and inaccurate information to keep San Benito County from making meaningful progress.
Letters: Wake up to Covid-19 reality
Your idea that “the government” somehow coddles us is absurd given the facts of how the current administration has allowed "the greatest nation on earth" to have the worst death toll of any—210,000 as of this week, in case you missed it.
Letters to the editor: End Covid-19 restrictions, ‘good old boy attitude’

Letter to the editor: Use resources wisely
Thank you for your front page gift of contrasting portrayals of two local women. I enjoyed this study in character and personality.
Letter: Make remote meeting access permanent
As a longtime advocate for open government access in San Benito County, though, I can say with certainty that allowing virtual access to public meetings—along with allowing traditional in-person involvement—would improve the level of openness in local government.
