Dozens displaced as historic Peninsula dockside community disappears

Docktown Marina, a quirky enclave of houseboats floating in the midst of Silicon Valley, is fighting for its life as Redwood City works to shut it down. Caught in the middle are dozens of families who can't afford to live anywhere else.

Letter: Union members’ donations come from the PAC

MercuryNews.com 

As a teacher in San Jose Unified School District for 40 years, I was working when collective bargaining became a reality in 1977. Throughout all those years, if I wanted my money to go toward political action, I contributed to their PAC. It was not automatic; it was a conscious choice, requiring a signature. It […]



Letter: High-speed rail is a good long-term investment

MercuryNews.com 

The Mercury News (Editorial, Jan. 25) suggested scrapping California high-speed rail, a short-sighted idea. Abandoning the bullet train would cost more in the long-term and result in decades of gridlock, economic decline and carbon emissions, which may have driven many of the state’s recent natural disasters. California high-speed rail is an expensive project. As its […]

Letter: Racism equates with sexism — both are hateful

MercuryNews.com 

The more I read the article, “Is ignoring racist texts worth a demotion?”, the more I said to myself that I am going to go to bat for Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith. All over the country we are not tolerating sexual misconduct. My personal belief is that racism certainly equates with sexism. They […]

Bridge: Jan. 27, 2018

MercuryNews.com 

Tribune Content Agency On “Simple Saturdays,” I treat basic technique and logical thinking. Defensive “rules” such as “second hand low” and “cover an honor” are really just tendencies. In a duplicate event, West leads his singleton club, perhaps unwisely, against four spades. (Many Norths would have raised directly to two spades; the actual North didn’t […]

Letter: Everyone should pay for bridge improvements

MercuryNews.com 

The Mercury News story on bridge toll increases is misleading. The story began with a statement that voters were faced with a choice of unrelenting traffic or paying $9 to cross a bridge. The reality is that a large majority of voters have no stake in this choice because they don’t cross the bridges ever, […]

Letter: Navarrette is off course with his false logic

MercuryNews.com 

Ruben Navarrette’s message to Dreamers (Opinion, Jan. 25) is based on false logic. In addition, he forgets that Sen. Chuck Schumer’s stand produced a guarantee of health care for millions of poor children. Worst, he forgets that without President Barack Obama, there would be no DACA. Navarrette’s divisive deception will indeed doom DACA. Legislators like […]

Letter: What’s more important, schools or high-speed rail?

MercuryNews.com 

What is more important, spending $3 billion more on schools or $110 billion on Gov. Jerry Brown’s train? The train-to-nowhere money could pay for the extra funds needed for 30 years. And probably much more as the train will likely run at a huge deficit, just like most transportation projects invented by politicians. Investing in […]

Letter: Remove Brown from office and cancel the bullet train

MercuryNews.com 

We have a leader who vigorously supports boondoggle projects that make no sense. He should be removed and the projects cancelled. Of course, I’m talking about Gov. Jerry Brown and the bullet train.
