Letters

I just got finished reading the morning newspaper and watching the news. I don’t know why I do that because all there is is bad news.  So what I got out of it was eye-opening: murder, street racing, kidnapping, racism, robbery, vandalism, Covid-19, inflation, war...

A group of concerned citizens has formed to begin the official recall process of Councilmember Rebeca Armendariz. On Oct. 31, 2021, during a party that was held at the home of Armendariz, four young people were shot, resulting in the death of Michael Zuniga Macias...

I completely agree with Mr. Garcia’s letter to the editor regarding the Gilroy Senior Center leaving much to be desired (Gilroy Dispatch, March 11). The City closed the Senior Center Gift Shop after the City spent a fortune on a study which came to the...

The Interfaith Clergy Alliance of South County expresses our pride in the community for the recent Peace Rally on behalf of Ukraine. It speaks to our community’s open heart that so many people came together in the name of peace. We add our prayers...
