Opinion

I am often asked to help clients prepare the bylaws for their corporation after they have filed the articles of incorporation, obtained an employer identification number and opened the bank account. The discussion usually is directed toward maintaining control of the corporation; how can the client prevent other stockholders from selling or transferring their shares in the corporation to others in the future? Although it is possible to address this issue in the bylaws, the more appropriate vehicle for stock sale restrictions is a buy-sell agreement.

Is there going to be an emergency center for a disaster? There are a lot of things we need to do for the people of our community to find work. We need more ideas, we should have more input and have people be a part of the community. We don't want to hurt the middle class in our community. We need more help, things should be simple but, they make things hard. We need to advance our community, advance our city for communication to bring jobs in our city.

This big thank you is for the kind soul who found my keys and turned them in to the San Juan Bautista Library. After retracing my steps three times that morning on March 15, I thought for sure those keys were lost forever. Your honesty and caring made my day. Thank you so much and God bless you!

News that problems with the Walgreens Project exist are hardly a surprise. Excuses blaming some other agency, developer, or the invisible hand are par for the course for our Community Develop Department. With decades of failed projects, missteps and poor planning, Hollister Community Development and Engineering exist solely to entertain us.

I have neighbors who are handicapped and their only way of trying to stay fit is walking on the sidewalks of Hollister. But they are frequently prevented from doing so safely by cars parked on our sidewalks. They tell me that they can neither pass at all, or must risk injury by having to veer into the streets or down a driveway. As a citizen of Hollister, I am very disturbed that so many of my neighbors would violate the law by parking on sidewalks.
