Guest View: Defending the indefensible in Scagliotti case
Why did the San Benito County Board of Supervisors spend more than $585,000 of taxpayers’ money defending what boils down to ex-Supervisor Richard Scagliotti’s personal ethical misconduct? For the most part ethics violations are the individual responsibility of the office holder, especially when it involves personal finances. A supervisor with a hidden direct financial interest coming before the board almost always knows where his or her bread is buttered.
Letter: Red Barn Run participant lauds organizers
A few weeks ago I participated in the Red Barn Run at Casa de Fruta to raise awareness and funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. I want to recognize and acknowledge the organizer, Lisa Patterson, and all of the volunteers for their commitment and efforts in orchestrating this event. Hundreds showed up and participated in either the 5K or 10K run, and their contributions are commendable. I have a six year old nephew who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2008. He has spent the last three years being treated with chemotherapy at Lucile Packard Children’s hospital in Palo Alto. Robbie is for all intents and purposes now free of leukemia. We are hopeful that he will live a long and healthy life. Events like the RBR do make a difference, and the participants of the run should be proud that in some small but significant way they are providing a piece of the solution in finding a cure for leukemia. I am thankful that our family and community supports the Red Barn Run.
