Says Measure D is about greed, pure and simple
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, What is Measure D? Measure D: "Shall an ordinance be adopted to allow a member of the Board of Supervisors and the County Board of Education to serve three (3) terms of office rather than two (2) terms as currently allowed by law and that this three (3) term limit be a lifetime restriction on the number of terms a person can serve on these on these boards." In 1998 term limits ...
Says SJ County supervisors show their arrogance with D
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I find it outrageous that the San Joaquin County Supervisors are using our county tax dollars as their own personal piggy bank. The Measure D initiative they placed on the ballot in an attempt to stay in office is sponsored by the County Board of Supervisors. Does the county have this much time and money to involve itself in this kind of foolishness? I guess somebody in the county must have counted ...
Why you should vote for Ordner for school board
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I am a retired high school teacher and a fairly new resident of Manteca. Somewhat new to the community, I have not felt comfortable publicly endorsing a candidate running for any local office or position. All that changed when I discovered that my former student, Alison (Kling) Ordner, is running for the Manteca Unified School District School Board, and sitting MUSD Trustee Wendy King endorsed another candidate in a ...
Less government can translate into lower prices
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, This last week I took my husband grocery shopping with me for the first time in a while. We had been eating mostly chicken and fish and decided we would like a nice steak. Both of us were shocked when we looked at the price of beef. The price of beef has gone through the roof. One steak cost us close to $12. Why the high prices? Well, I asked a friend ...

Dale Kuil deserves your vote on the South San Joaquin Irrigation District Board of Directors on Nov. 6.
Vote against Measure D
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors want more time in office? Measure D is the vehicle that will get them to their desired goal. Can I put an initiative on the ballot that locks me in to a guaranteed job? Vote no on Measure D on Nov. 6. Loretta White Manteca Oct. 24, 2012 ...
Why Social Security is now in trouble
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The Democrats are always saying the Republicans are trying to destroy Social Security. I will give a little story about Social Security as I did work for the agency for a few years. It was started by Franklin Roosevelt about 1935. Not a bad idea. It has benefited a lot of people. Here's the ground rules laid out in 1935: • The program would be ...
Excessively tall flag pole latest church ‘violation’
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Throughout the years since the Sikh church has opened at Airport Way and Woodward Avenue there have been so many property and zoning violations stemming from the location that they are just too numerous to mention anymore. Only on a very rare occasion does any law enforcement even respond, much less follow through on the complaints. I am not the only one doing the complaining either. But to no avail. However, today ...
Sign, sign everywhere a sign in Manteca
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Sign, sign, everywhere a sign blocking out the scenery Breaking my mind…do this, don't do that. "Can't You Read the Sign", that was the popular song that came out and made famous by the "Five Man Electrical Band" in May of 1975. And now some 40 years later, city staff, code enforcement and our "good ole" council is singing the same song concerning A -frame signs in front of businesses downtown and ...

Thanks to the students from local high schools that came and helped us pack boxes; we hope you also ...
President Obama did not win the second presidential debate
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, That cartoon of the fighters (depicting President Obama and Mitt Romney after the second debate) in the Friday paper was ugly and a lie like everything else about Mr. Obama. The President did do a little better in the second debate but it was a long way from a win.. Mr. Obama should spend more time working on the many problems of the country, instead of hitting ...

Why King is backing Sharla Moore for MUSD board
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Many people have been asking me about my thoughts on the school board candidates. At first I didn't give an opinion because I hadn't had a chance to hear from all three of them. Now that I have, here are my thoughts. Two of the candidates are parents. This is very important to me. I strongly feel that as a parent, you have a different perspective on the issues you are governing ...
Why Prop. 30 is better for schools than Prop. 38
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Would you be willing to pay an extra $25 a year in order to prevent schools from closing in late April, three weeks earlier than normal? If you are, then you should vote yes on Proposition 30. I've been a teacher for 25 years in Manteca Unified, and I'm writing to express my support of Governor Brown's tax proposal, Prop 30, on the November ballot. Vote yes on Prop 30. You wrote ...
