Kathleen Johnson states, “In order to complete the tower, we must ask voters for $55 million to finish job. That’s an amount previous administrations and multiple boards (including the one serving in 2005 when the first GO bond was introduced) knew it needed but failed to ask for.” Kathleen Johnson makes no reference as to […]
I was most disappointed in Mr. Kasich’s connecting his godliness with the wide use of taxpayers money. Obviously you identify with government work being church work. Doesn’t charity work need to be voluntary to be charity ? I heard that a Baptist group in Texas took in 12,000 young people that swarmed the border and […]
Founded in 2008, the Tulare & Kings Counties Chapter of PFLAG continues to serve the parents, families, friends, and supporters of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning) community in Tulare and Kings Counties. From its founding in New York City in 1972 by Jeanne Manford, a mother determined to support her gay son, […]
Dear Friends, Democratic commissioners on the FCC have adopted net neutrality rules, which will allow the FCC to regulate Internet Service Providers as public utilities. It’s hard to see the need for this action, since the Internet has been thriving without these regulations. Furthermore, these rules may stifle innovation and could be exploited to ram […]

During a typical work shift in Visalia, a Comcast technician and member of my team, […]
While the Porterville City Council has many issues before them, they seem to confuse themselves as to what action to take. It seems that the lack of experience leads them from arriving to a decision, as to whether they should ignore or address and find solutions to what ever the community concerns are?. At last […]
My late husband, my five children and I have been farming in the San Joaquin Valley since the mid seventies. My children are now second generation growers. During this period of time we have seen a very disturbing loss of prime level farm land being covered by houses. When we bought our Elderwood Heights property […]
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Test this natural law by loading your rifle and pulling the trigger. The kick back gives you a clear understanding of how this law works. The bullet leaves forward out the muzzle at very high velocity and the rifle butt kicks you in the shoulder. […]
It’s disingenuous for the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors to publicly state that they had always intended to increase their investment in the community. We spent four months bargaining with them and they spent the first three months offering 0% — no one goes to buy a car from a dealer and starts negotiations […]
