Measure P bond dollars are not for operational expenses

Dear Red Phone, “I'm reading the Dispatch and see there's going to be district budget cuts. What were the taxes raised for? Our taxes have gotten raised three times in the last year so this wouldn't happen. So why is this still happening? Where are our tax dollars going?”

Red Phone: Annoyed by solicitors

"I have had this sign on my front door for a few years now. I'm amazed at the audacity of people that still knock or ring the bell. I don't know if it's the LDS or the Jehovah's that come around the most.  What makes them or anyone else think that you're going to open the door for strangers in this day and age. Is there something we can do to stop them"

Oh-So-Spicy Awards and let’s bring the chamber dinner back to Gilroy

Not that it really matters, but “Spry” Sig Sanchez’s honor at the Chamber’s annual Gilroy “Spice of Life” community awards dinner should have been the “Lifetime Achievement” award instead of “Man of the Year,” an honor which he probably should have received when he was in his 60s, instead of in his 90s. Sig did a grand job, as usual, with a classy and humorous acceptance speech. Besides that, I got to chat briefly with his two charming granddaughters, Nicole and Jaynie (hope I remember that spelling from filling out the Little League line-up card), who were friends with my daughters growing up. Love it when I talk to young people who I knew when they were “this high” who are blossoming as young adults.
