Roadshow: Should DUI standards be tougher?

MercuryNews.com 

In California, most first, second, and third drunk-driving arrests are charged as misdemeanors, which carry lighter penalties than a felony.

Letter: When is private property not private property?

MercuryNews.com 

Is private property no longer private property? Politicians love to impose rent controls on individual homeowners, which then prevent owners from charging fair market prices for rent; that impairs the eventual selling value of that property. Frequently, that owner’s property rights are additionally restricted by so-called tenant rights that prevent the homeowner from selling his […]

Bridge: Jan. 28, 2018

MercuryNews.com 

Tribune Content Agency When I watched today’s deal in a penny game, South was Wendy, my club’s feminist, and North was Cy the Cynic, a shameless chauvinist. The two are adversaries even when they cut as partners. Wendy opened four hearts as dealer. I might have opened one heart, but Wendy asserts that bidding intelligently […]

Letter: The buck stopped with Judge Aquilina

MercuryNews.com 

Many were complicit in the longstanding abuse of female gymnasts by team physician Larry Nassar: staff and coaches, university administrators, Olympic officials, and sometimes, sadly, parents. In all, more than 150 young women came forward to accuse Nassar; who knows how many others stayed suffered in silence? The buck stopped in the case with the […]

Letter: Changes in immigration policy require discussion and debate

MercuryNews.com 

The majority of Americans of both parties favor providing a path to citizenship for Dreamers. Their contributions to the economy, and the losses were they to be deported, are well established. President Trump purports to care about them, but he and his party have held these young people hostage for months, in anxiety and uncertainty […]

Letter: Find reasonable solutions to illegal immigration

MercuryNews.com 

I’m about to say some crazy stuff. Please bear with me while I try to make a point. I have a solution to illegal immigration: declare war on Mexico. Do so and many things fall into place. A two-week warning could be issued to allow illegals to leave peaceably. Illegals remaining would be enemy combatants […]

Letter: There’s better use for funds than high-speed rail

MercuryNews.com 

I agree with the editorial on the high-speed rail project (Editorial, Jan. 25). Every penny spent on this white elephant is wasted. Air travel is much faster and much cheaper. What could we do with the $10 billion to build the first segment? You could fund 10,000 small start-ups with that, or perhaps 1,000 medium-size […]

Letter: The marketplace should dictate what rent to charge

MercuryNews.com 

I’m totally against any form of rent control. Operators of apartment buildings are business people, many of whom make their living from it. They have mortgages, upkeep, security and other issues to deal with. The market should dictate what is being charged. In a market like this one, if you can’t afford to live here, […]

Letter: Instead of border wall, use surveillance technology

MercuryNews.com 

Do Americans actually think that a border wall would solve problems of any significance with illegal ingress/egress? There exists surveillance technologies that would be far more effective and efficient, if indeed security was the objective. Drone/swarms are technologies where American companies are already testing and possess a competitive edge. Other high-tech options exist, but President […]

Letter: Program that could help Santa Clara County juveniles

MercuryNews.com 

Molly O’Neal’s oped, “Juvenile justice reform is working despite crime spike” (Opinion, Jan. 24) is helpful in explaining the latest reforms that are being used in Santa Clara County with some success. New Zealand has been using Family Group Conferencing in many of their juvenile justice cases with great success. Santa Clara County is already […]

Letter: State water commission should approve projects

MercuryNews.com 

I seldom agree with the editorials in the East Bay Times, but the recent one about the California Water Commission’s attempt to stop the proposed projects to increase the state’s water supply is right on. California voters overwhelming approved Prop.1, a $7.5 billion bond measure to build more dams and other water projects is now […]
