Letters to the Editor

You should bike short distances instead of driving because it is more environmentally friendly, is more cost effective, and is a great way to get some exercise.  Cars emit approximately three billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year worldwide. Biking instead of driving will...

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...

Hello, fellow Los Gatos residents and visitors, We have a wonderful town. But dog owners who do not pick up their dog’s droppings (poop), please do not leave it on our sidewalks. Unhealthy, unkind, just wrong. So many of you do pick up after their pets...
