Dear Editor, After reading the Dec. 9 edition of the Dispatch, I think it important for the City of Gilroy to provide some clarification in reference to several articles and opinions that appeared concerning the Interim Gilroy Center for the Arts building use limitations.
Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of the Gilroy Arts Alliance/Center for the Arts. This place has really been a great new place for me to be a participant in the Gilroy Community. I feel it has given me purpose, as I volunteer and enjoy all the center has to offer.
Dear Editor, I wish, when you published the comments by the Clown Patrol (Community Pulse), you would name who made the statements. The anonymity protects the fools from standing out. Regarding the decommissioned Gilroy Police Department pistol non-issue, two of the comments by said patrol were so laughable they merit feedback.
Dear Editor, I want to know who gave Ann Peden the authority to waive rules and laws of the World Health Organization and override rules and regulations from the Santa Clara County Planning Department, Fire Department and other county departments.
Dear Editor, As the Gilroy Center for the Arts flourishes on its diverse art and multicultural activities, it is now potentially grounded by the restrictions of zoning as a retail center from the old Salvation Army site.
Dear Editor, My name is Rosalie deVries. I have been a local resident since 1951. My son, Jeremy deVries, 31, has also been a long time resident. The purpose of my letter is not only an urgent appeal to generate critically needed funds to retain private counsel in a horrendous plight we are facing, but also, to bring to your attention, to a 21st century atrocity taking place within our judicial system at the Superior Court in Morgan Hill.
