Editor: As a member of the Singley Hill Homeowners Association, a neighbor and party to “the protracted legal battle with the Rancheria over the obligation, per its liquor license” I would like to make a few comments (“Waiting for Tish Non,” June 3). The Bear River Casino liquor license is a conditional license issued by […]

Editor: I would like to make a statement regarding your article “DA Trials” by Ryan Burns (May 27), specifically regarding Paul Gallegos. I am currently a Deputy District Attorney working for Mr. Gallegos. Burns states in his article: “If there’s any residual tension or bitterness here, it’s not visible to the untrained eye.” That is […]

Editor: I am writing to expose ongoing fraud concerning Propositions 16 and 17 (“Mad Props,” May 20 & 27). I’m not referring to PG&E’s Prop. 17, which masquerades as a taxpayer’s rights initiative and is built on the notion that we can’t govern ourselves without PG&E requiring a supermajority to challenge their monopoly, or Mercury […]

Editor: OMG! I don’t know which is more appalling – the Arkleys’ blatant self-interest in buying ballot measure placement, or the Eureka City Council’s cowardice in allowing them to do so (“Town Dandy,” May 27). I wish I had $30,000 to pay for ballot measure placement. I wonder how much money the Arkleys will spend […]

Editor: I was jazzed to see the “Town Dandy” piece (May 20). The suggestion by Hank Sims is something that occurred to me recently, not because I have ever stayed at one of the McMenamins establishments, but because I really, really want to. I know people who have gone north for that very purpose, and […]

Editor: I found out by poking around on the Internet. One of my College of the Redwoods journalism classes had been canceled. No explanation. The reason, I’m left to assume — they’re cutting classes because enrollment is up. Really? All I know is that I love to teach at CR and always have. My mother […]

Editor: So after Bonnie Neely’s campaign gets an anonymous, threatening phone call, Virginia Bass believes that the “professional” response would have been for Neely’s campaign to contact her directly, so she could “investigate” (“Notes from the Hustings,” May 13). Sounds like Bass believes that Neely’s campaign should have known said threats were connected to Bass […]

Editor: I so anticipated the Journal‘s article about the Fifth District supervisor race (“Fifth and Goals,” April 29). But my high hopes were dashed. The portrait of one candidate — Ryan Sundberg — was so badly drawn I don’t know what to make of the others. One is brash, one is rich and one is […]

Editor: I have waited to make a public comment about the proposed Richardson Grove highway improvement (“Roads and Redwoods,” April 15 & 22). I just didn’t need another battle. But I have to weigh in. This issue is taking up too much energy we could be using for other things. I have lost two friends […]

Editor: I was so upset by today’s cover that I almost tossed the Journal before reading it (“Suddenly Sexy Assessor,” April 22). However, I took a deep breath and forged ahead. I still think your cover is sexist and repulsive but I understand that you have to grab people’s attention. I attended the Humboldt County […]

Editor:The April 8 article “Roads and Redwoods” failed to include our Council’s views on the Richardson Grove Highway Improvement Project.InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council is a consortium of 10 tribes retaining ancestral ties to Richardson Grove. For millennia, tribal peoples lived in profound harmony with the redwood ecosystem. We oppose Caltrans’ plan to widen and reconfigure […]
