Editor: As I prepare to cast my vote for Measure B, I’ve read the voter information written by both the sides of Measure B. The most misleading argument within the ballot arguments is a claim by Measure B proponents in their opening paragraph that states... Continue

Editor: And kudos to Deb Carlen and The Sun for its Art Page! What a great contribution to our extended "villlage" (it "takes one," as has been said, for the best that humble human life can offer!): a place for those artists among us who... Continue
