The Bay Area boom and high costs are driving demand for housing in cities that are still affordable, so once again, Hollister is on a development spree.

The Preliminary SAT part is a standardized test, with mostly multiple-choice questions, to determine a student’s likely no-study SAT score. Each year about 3.6 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT test. However, for the 50,000 top scorers the PSAT could be the most important test they will ever take, because the NMSQT part of the test COULD get them into the National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP), which HAS offered about 4.500 scholarships at about 450 colleges throughout the USA for semifinalists and finalists. Last year it took a raw score of 93% to be a semi-finalist.

Want to know what the San Benito County Board of Supervisors (BOS) has been doing?  Good luck.

I want to bring a lot of different things to the people’s attention. I feel the people of the community should be aware and know what goes on in their city. I myself would like to know what does the police department and county sheriff’s department do with the entire surplus of property they obtain in their possession.  Eventually no one claims them, and then they stay in the city or county’s possession. What happens to them then? It is in their inventory, the property room. I buy from property room all the time, and this certainly does work. Where is all the money at that they make of this unclaimed property? They cannot lie about that.
