Letters

In a recent issue of the Free Lance, I noticed a letter from our recently retired Hollister City Clerk Geri Johnson, thanking all who helped with the 4th of July celebration committee.  This brought to mind: Just how many residents of Hollister know of how much this wonderful lady has cheerfully done for all of us? As a valuable city employee, I wonder if we all ever know of her accomplishments in addition to her formalized duties.

So Big Oil is going to sue San Benito County. Will this be judged a frivolous attempt or will it actually reach the courts? People voted to prevent toxins in air and water and the drilling vibrations over unstable fault lines. Clear Big Oil does not care for future generations but only their relentless pursuit of money for themselves. Should Big Oil win – over the will of the people – it will signify the end of Democracy.
