Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler Has Brains And Integrity … She’ll Decide Matters Based On Fact And Law
By KYLE WHEELERThe fact that Sheriff Lucero endorses Pete Sheehey for state representative is because as a county councilor, Pete Sheehey supported increasing the budget to cover the sheriff’s duties to approximately $200,000 per year and expand the office beyond what is allowed per the Charter, our county’s governing document.
Sheriff Lucero has been involved in several expensive and time-consuming lawsuits against the county, and I truly believe that many residents are tired of the waste that has been caused by this.
I personally think Pete Sheehey has enabled the almost constant Read More

Attorney General Hector BalderasShin: PARCC … Parents Have The Final Say
By LISA SHINSen. Howie Morales has called for an end to PARCC testing. He aptly says, “…Instead of using scarce public dollars for proven methods of bettering education — smaller class sizes, more professional development for educators, more books, librarians, nurses, counselors, and instructors for art, dance and music — the Martinez administration’s policy has been to funnel millions to corporations for the PARCC curriculum and tests and their technology.

By GEORGE CHANDLERI live with Christine Chandler, who’s running for District 43 State Rep. I see how she does stuff, and you should want her to do stuff for you.
