The benefits of recording school board meetings are minor compared to the value of what can be achieved by actually attending meetings and voicing your opinion to the school board members who need to hear from you before they act on matters. Listening to the recording is listening to ancient history; the school board has already made a decision. You will hear the school board talk, but they will not hear you.
Guest View: Take ‘hulk’ out of health insurance
I had to laugh out loud regarding the article about insurance monsters. The voting public created them and put them on steroids with Obamacare.

Letter: Population, potholes are growing in Hollister

Guest View: Prediction that San Justo won’t reopen
I don’t believe that taking the Band-Aid off slowly will make this any easier. It is obvious to me that the San Justo Reservoir, shuttered more than eight years ago for an infestation of zebra mussels, is never going to reopen for any water-related activities such as fishing or boating, and probably not for any public access to the water’s edge.
Guest View: Cleaning up the city’s problems
My name’s Keith Snow. People of the community are outraged at the things going in in our city. They just want to know, is the taxpayers’ money going in the right direction, and where is it going? There is a lot of distrust in our city and county.
