Three NCFPD board votes, April 16, finalized the process. A public hearing was followed by a 5-0 vote not to modify any of the proposed boundary maps.

Community matters. Nothing affects the issue of affordable housing than that for the plight of renters in the housing market. Sara, a single mother of two, works two jobs to support her rent, utilities, food, car and children’s expenses. She pays the average rent in San Diego North County of $1,588 per month. A 10% increase in rent would devastate her family’s ability to make ends. She is vulnerable to that increase any time her lease is up for renewal or at her landlord’s whim for a month to month agreement. Living on the c...

My bills include legislation that created the Native California Wildlife Rehabilitation Voluntary Fund, allowing taxpayers to check off contributions on their tax returns to support injured or sick wildlife. Another bill prohibits the sale or transfer of shelter animals to research facilities for experimentation or testing. I co-wrote legislation...

My dear Mr. Watson, whatever makes you believe that the government or anyone owes you anything, especially health care. Health care is the responsibility of each adult. Former President Barack Obama’s health care law is anything except affordable. It was not read by most politicians as Nancy Pelosi stated; they just passed it now and read it later, which is as irresponsible as your words here. What you have written is not only absurd, it is spoken like a true, hands-out-for-anything-free Democrat. Good to know the DNC and i...
