Letters to the Editor

From the Inbox... Do your homework Dear Mr. Penner, I give you a C- for your latest journalistic effort in the Los Gatan. You should validate your information before releasing your stories for publication. Your article titled “ACLU threatens legal action against town” is devoid of...

Your April 23 article on the Los Gatos Green project hearing reads more like a biased editorial than legitimate reporting. The petty tone directed at Commissioner Rob Stump is especially troubling. The role of the Planning Commission is to ensure that development proposals comply with...

I enjoyed reading Lisa Traylor Scott’s chronicle of her family in last week’s issue of the Los Gatan as well as the companion piece she wrote last year. As an amateur historian, I’m forever curious about the people whose mostly untold stories reveal how...

Health fair was a success We so enjoyed assembly member Gail Pellerin’s health fair on Saturday. So many good resources and opportunities to network.

Old Fire House could be saved for local veterans groups We (American Legion, Post 809 of San Jose) recommend you to look more into future possibilities for the old Fire House. We are aware that it was built in 1926, so it could be declared...

How would travel advice apply in more serious anti-Americanism situations? (In response to last week’s Guest View article by etiquette expert Pamela Eyring) How would she handle an incident involving a 9th grader being physically attacked in broad daylight in a public location while on a...
