Graffiti

The police department should get together with the Napa and Vallejo gang task forces to identify who the taggers are and go after them. This destructive behavior has no place ANYWHERE. To all members of BPM, as a Mexican I am emberrassed for you, If you want to impress me bring home a report card wi...

Potholes and More

Having lived in the city for more than sixteen years (yikes) I can tell you the rate of repair for almost any/all items has remained consistent. The only change is that the complaining has been turned up a notch. I'm not saying that's abad things-it's just that I'm not a fan of "squeaky wheel g...

Grow up

Itsy Bitsy -it's good to see your thought process is just that "small minded". The NJ project will provide affordable housing for many locals who can not afford to purchase a home in the $500K-$850K home. Some of them are single parent, the elderly or retired people on fixed income. As a p...

Thanks!

I was able to drop off the boxes of provisions to Mr. Burr across the street from Canyon Oaks. It was also touching to hear the stories of what he has witnessed.

Holy Family Parish in AmCan donated $ 2050 to VFCC. I just mailed it out to Jim Grant's attention today. I have about 7-8 boxes of things I need to bring somewhere. Can someone contact me to let me know where to take it. I have been trying to reach Stacy to no avail. Who is collecting supplies? Or i...

My take on this

Well, since you asked... I believe American Canyon will be short-changed on the proposed tax, the way the distribution is currently set up. I believe the city council needs to do the following: a) Determine the road improvement needs for all current and proposed projects including - Newell Road Exte...

No offense taken

Lola, I agree this is an open forum and an exchange of ideas and words is vital to its success. I'm confused about some of the statements you made in your entry. You mention you are troubled about the article about my accomplishments and the "bragging". You then talk about how as Christian...

Reply re: searching for the truth

What? The real story isn't about who send out an email, but the truth. And by the way, your facts are incorrect about sending the email. I was cc: on the original letter. But apparently the facts or the truth don't matter. If Ms. Coffey composed the letter and forged a signature-that's the issue. I...

For Initial Poster

I have read about this website and see that comments about me have previously been posted and currently being posted again. So let me just address some of the comments made about me: - Am I a journalist? No. I write a column. I began writing it because, quite frankly, no one else wanted to do it. I ...
