Lopez the experiencedchoice for S.J. Council
Re: “Business, labor clash in 2nd District” (Web page B1, Oct. 6).
Please be part of me in voting for Joe Lopez for San Jose Metropolis Council in District 2.
Joe, 71, served 35 years within the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Workplace. After retiring he served on a number of civil grand juries and metropolis commissions to learn the way town works.
Joe will all the time be on patrol for us. When Santa Clara County tried to buy a tiny residence web site in South San Jose as a jail diversion location, Joe was instantly throughout this in opposition. That’s the kind of councilmember we’d like.

A vote for Casey isa commonsense vote
As an lawyer and longtime resident of Almaden Valley, I’m endorsing George Casey for San Jose Metropolis Council, District 10.
Our present council has had its probability, however we’re merely not transferring the needle or making use of daring, commonsense and sensible options. George’s expertise as an lawyer will carry useful perception to the Metropolis Council, serving to to handle the complicated points our district and town face — whether or not it’s navigating housing insurance policies, public security or our multilayered financial points. His authorized background, mixed along with his work in actual property, make George uniquely certified to sort out these challenges with a considerate, solutions-oriented method.
I consider George’s experience will result in efficient insurance policies that create a cleaner, safer and extra affluent future for all of us. District 10 deserves a pacesetter geared up with the abilities, imaginative and prescient and drive to ship actual progress.

Low’s use of fundsis an moral lapse
Re: “Group accuses candidate of misusing funds” (Web page B1, Oct. 3).
Evan Low’s resolution to make use of funds raised for his Meeting marketing campaign on his congressional marketing campaign is a brand new low for him. He is aware of that’s not authorized.
However Low has proven himself to be simply one other ethically challenged Sacramento politician keen to interrupt the principles when it advantages his political ambitions. It’s significantly disappointing that one of these habits comes from a supposed progressive politician.

No proof Prop. 36will obtain objectives
Re: “With theft ‘blatantly rampant,’ Prop. 36 garners strong support” (Web page A1, Oct. 8).
The truth that sure crimes have elevated after Proposition 47 was handed just isn’t scientific proof that the regulation is liable for a rise in crime. It should be remembered that correlation doesn’t indicate causation. To argue that Proposition 47 is at fault is irresponsible, deceptive and smacks of fear-mongering.
The place is the proof that Proposition 36 might be profitable in attaining any milestones that supporters declare? There isn’t any.
What the media fails to report is that the first causes for our difficulties reside with the police, prosecutors and the courts who don’t maintain misdemeanor offenders accountable. Too many offenders are launched with out bail after a number of failures to seem or who, whereas awaiting trial, re-offend.
Including new legal guidelines with out altering the habits of the above actors won’t change outcomes.

Is Trump America’sworst traitor?
If Common Benedict Arnold had died after his superhuman performances within the battles of Saratoga in 1777, he would have gone down as one of many best patriots within the formation of our nation — proper up there with Common Washington.
Sadly, his private needs for fame and fortune and his grievances in opposition to Common Washington chartered a a lot completely different course for him. He’s now thought of one in all America’s worst traitors.
I suggest we must always revisit who is actually America’s worst traitor.
Donald Trump was twice impeached. He wrote that the 2020 election was a “Massive Fraud … (that) allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” Trump, a convicted felon, is making an attempt to place himself as a dictator.
If he doesn’t go down as one of many worst traitors in historical past, he ought to go down as one in all America’s worst presidents.
