Dear Editor,
Rep Mike Honda’s recent letter drips with rose water and
admonishes us for our genocide of Native Americans. I am
sympathetic and incidentally, recognized by the state of California
as a Native American teacher, myself. However, let’s get real
here.
Dear Editor,
Rep Mike Honda’s recent letter drips with rose water and admonishes us for our genocide of Native Americans. I am sympathetic and incidentally, recognized by the state of California as a Native American teacher, myself. However, let’s get real here.
What is going on is a greedy power play that stinks like garbage and in no way adheres to any Native American concept of honor or respect for the land or the needs of any peoples. It is a grab-grab for bucks that harm communities and children. Don’t insult Native Americans, Mike, by lofty words for a few who want to develop land and pillage individuals with gambling.
Circumventing all efforts for healthy growth through county oversight, these individuals want to build thousands of homes out of code compliance, with no regard for school building, parks, quality road construction (a.k.a. Eagle Ridge) and the quality of life of people who ultimately live there. They currently remain quiet about their casino plans and that is working for them. Just wait until it is all approved.
No one who voted for California’s Native Americans by allowing them gambling income envisioned the greed and “payback” for past injustices done by now-deceased people.
Their total focus is on screwing a community out of health and money, then running somewhere far away, hiding in a corner and whining “mine, MINE!” over dirty profits.
Wake up, Mike. You look naïve, infantile and foolish by praising this group of fraudulent jerks.
Tony Weiler, Gilroy
