California, here we go The Golden State has lost the appeal it once had that brought many folks into our great state. What once was the land of opportunity is now the state of depression, as California has been steadily losing residents since 2005. The flow of immigrants and aliens has slowed to a crawl. [...]

As I was perusing the Rancho Santa Fe News this evening while cooking, I came across your article on the Con artists and the very sad experience of Susan. It was very edifying and I feel that you have alerted the public to an ongoing scam that comes in many forms, whether here or traveling [...]

A “road to nowhere” The City of Carlsbad prides itself on being fiscally responsible, yet they seem to be taking lessons from Alaska and the famous “Road to Nowhere.” Buried within a $40 million project to upgrade the Agua Hedionda sewer lift station is a new, elevated second road to the station that goes right [...]
The Post’s war on the wealthy’s Social Security

Resplendent in a black tailcoat, waistcoat and white bowtie, Bush greeted the swells with evident satisfaction. “This is an impressive crowd,” [...]

Maintaining order How many Deputies does it take to maintain order at a City Council meeting? Usually, one or two. So why did we have so many at the City Council meeting? In the almost 25 years I have lived here, I can’t recall any violence or anything other than mild rowdiness at a City [...]

Blatant disregard I was at the Nov. 2 Encinitas City Council meeting. At the meeting not one person clapped when Mark Muir was nominated to take Maggie Houlihan’s place on the city council. In fact, of the several citizens who spoke at the podium that night, not one of them supported Mr. Muir. Ian [...]

Tri-City Hospital’s Condition of Restoration On Oct. 27, six months after secretly barring me from closed session attendance, Tri-City Healthcare District Board Members openly restored me on one condition: they reserved the right to exclude me from any and all future closed session agenda items by vote. Tri-City voters, after representatives, are free to recall [...]

Oceanside council majority is dangerous Councilman Kern continues to go to the dark side and give the city away to developers. He wants to eliminate notice to neighbors of upcoming projects.
