Dear Editor:

Car owners know the tough call: When do you stop putting money

San Benito County has grown too much, too fast. Tens of

Wake up, residents of San Benito! The comment period for the environmental impact report for the San Benito County General Plan ended last week, and it could have mean huge changes in the county.  Major features of the Plan are four “New Community Study Areas” scattered out in the north part of the County, a large “Winery/Hospitality Priority” region, and lots of new and expanded roads. One of the New Community areas includes the site of the huge Rancho San Benito development that was proposed a few years ago between Hollister and Gilroy. Road plans would include extending Shore Road to Highway 101 near Y Road, and realigning Highway 25 in that area, which would also accommodate the Rancho San Benito development (could this also be the reason for a proposed expensive bridge across the San Benito River near Y Road?). The other New Community areas are west of San Juan Bautista, northeast of Hollister to the Santa Clara County line, and south of Hollister.

The group that controls the House of Representatives and wants control of the Senate and White House has this partial agenda: 1. Lower taxes on America’s top 1 percent. 2. Give control of medical care back to insurance companies. 3. Replace Medicare with the Ryan voucher system. 4. Pay off the National Debt with cuts to government programs, not tax money. 5. Destroy all unions and the benefits they bring our society. 6. Eliminate all government controls except for women’s health. Why would Americans give serious thought or even one vote to this group?

If you have any interest at politics, it won't be long before
