Old with old, in with new
Hello Red Phone:
In regards to the article in Wednesday’s paper (see “Raising the Stakes,” Aug. 8) about the caller who said we should get rid of the city councilmen and the mayor. That’s a wonderful idea because all these poor residents of Gilroy are asked to fix the broken sidewalks and why should they be responsible for that? I agree with the person who called in. We need to get new people in and get rid of these people who are giving all these nice raises.

Dear Fire Squad:
The cracks in the sidewalks are no doubt an election issue. You, along with many Red Phone ranters are heated over the city’s decision to make property owners responsible for sidewalks to “protect the city” from lawsuits. (see “Liability Transferred to Residents,” Aug. 3.) Red Phone suggests you write your councilmen about the issue. The Dispatch will keep you posted on coverage surrounding sidewalks and other election issues so you can speak with your vote at the poll.
Stay Tooned
Dear Red Phone:
City hall is crumbling. Our elected officials are more interested in amusement parks than taking care of sidewalks! They are probably going to hire Daffy Duck to take over Jay Baksa’s job.

Dear Looney:
Red Phone wasn’t able to reach Daffy Duck to get a comment on whether or not he’d be interested in the job, but it’s pretty sure he’s got a pretty sweet deal with Warner Brothers.
seeing stars?
Hey Red Phone:
How come I haven’t seen any horoscopes in the Dispatch this week? First day, I thought it must have been a mistake. I looked and couldn’t find it. So, what’s up? I’m curious, why no horoscopes in the paper? I don’t run my life by them, but it’s nice to have a little fun and find out what the stars say.
