Letters: Reader sees good in RDA demise
“Ding dong the Witch is dead!” The witch in this case is the Hollister Redevelopment Agency. For example, imagine, if you will an agency which agreed to rent the entire Porter House for $4,000 per month to house a handful of employees; a $5 million downtown firehouse for a handful of firefighters; please. It becomes all too apparent that spending practices are grossly out of whack. The RDA is a spending engine! And the City of Hollister simply cannot afford an indulgent RDA.
Letters: Reader laments the idea of ‘Mission Accomplished’
Finally, “Mission accomplished” In Iraq? But what really was the mission and what did it accomplish? We were mislead into almost 9 years of war by President Bush and V.P. Cheney, who still tries to justify it. He said we would be greeted as liberators. However the end result seems to be resentment and hatred by much of the Muslim world towards the “liberators.” The war was prosecuted on the basis Iraq had W. M. D. There is still no evidence any existed.
