Firefighters, Applebee’s & community delivers for kids
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Give Every Child A Chance was proud to have once again been chosen by the Firefighters of Manteca as the recipients of their latest fundraiser, Tip a Fireman. This year's Tip a Fireman was more successful than we dared to dream. There were more firemen in attendance than ever before, and thanks to the efforts of the Firemen, Applebee's, and this wonderful community, Manteca's Bravest raised $1,163.52 in tips for the Give ...
So where were Bush, Cheney & Palin?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, For the first time I can remember, a major political party convention was held and the last sitting President or Vice President were not invited, neither were any of the members of their administration except for Condoleezza Rice, but we all know why she was invited don't we? These guys were in office for eight years and their Party wants to pretend they never existed. They weren't mentioned ...
Dale Kuil has delivered for farmers, others in SSJID
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Speaking as a farmer, a trailer dealer and a homeowner, I know that valley water is the key to San Joaquin County's future survival. Local residents have been privileged to be serviced by South San Joaquin Irrigation District over the years. A leader and director of SSJID is Dale Kuil. He is reachable and has always been a phone call away. He not only listens to a problem; ...
City of Manteca needs more code enforcement
Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Gestapo-style code enforcement in Manteca
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It is plain to see that this is not the Family City as stated by city staff and city council, referring to the issue that has popped up recently concerning the fence issue with the John Griffin family. Mr. Griffin was told this was creating a visibility issue – nonsense. The only visibility issue is coming from city hall. Someone who has a nice home, and has spent some $1,500 installing a ...
When does Obama start taking responsibility?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Last Saturday, I viewed the movie "Obama 2016" here in Manteca. While I would consider myself an informed voter, the movie gave me new insight of President Obama and a perspective of what America could look like in 2016 if he were reelected. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone regardless of your like or dislike for President Obama. I also appreciated the letter to the ...
Maybe Aquila would like to shorten his title
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I am sure I was not the only one who read with puzzled amusement, the letter published in the Your Views section on Thursday, Aug. 23, by Mr. Frank Aquila. ("Obama's campaign of fear and smear"). He has stepped into several heaps of GOP elephant dung, left there during the GOP Elephant Show. *Misstep No. 1: Aquila warns of Obama's "fear and smear" tactics then calmly goes on ...
Manteca needs the savings that SSJID offers
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, In your July 18, 2012 column you stated "Governor Jerry Brown should demand the resignation of virtually the entire CPUC board." You may not be aware that the three newest CPUC board members, Floria, Ferron, and Sandoval are true consumer advocates. Michel Floria was the senior attorney for TURN before becoming a CPUC commissioner. TURN is an effective consumer advocacy that has saved California utility and phone ...
Obama’s campaign of fear and smear
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, The Obama campaign is trying to divert the discussion of real issues in America by using "fear and smear" tactics against Mitt Romney. The more desperate Obama becomes, the more insane the allegations get. While the desperation of lies and deception were expected, Obama has hit new lows. Ann Romney was accused of never holding a "real job" disrespecting mothers across America, while Michelle Obama enjoys luxurious vacations at the taxpayers' expense. ...
Some questions for Manteca council candidates
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Residents of Manteca who have chosen to run for City Council deserve a lot of our praise and thanks for being willing to serve us all. They decided by running for public office to take responsibility and spend their free time helping to plan and direct the City's future. Congratulations to our local candidates! You are courageous people! City Council candidates must now convince voters if they ...
2nd Amendment doesn’t make distinctions
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Roland Martin is a prominent and successful TV broadcaster. That said, he is also a leftist who writes the usual leftist pap re: so-called assault weapons. Quoted in his recent Bulletin article, "I absolutely and positively support the Second Amendment. Americans have the right to bear arms, but nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it say that you must be able to bear any arms your heart desires." I'd like to ask ...
Center Street tennis courts do get used
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Since I first moved here nearly 30 years ago, I always marveled at the pair of old tennis courts on Center Street. Not because they were attractive, because they've never been, nor because they were used by great players, because they rarely were: Tennis classes and leagues were usually held at the then-new courts on Union Road or at one of the high schools. What amazed me is it that there were ...
Not government function to ‘turn a profit’
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, In response to the letter concerning Amtrak in the Aug. 7 "Your Views" section of the Bulletin, "profitability" isn't a particularly helpful way to look at anything that federal, state, or local governments do. It isn't government's function to "turn a profit". Amtrak is the nation's only inter-city rail provider. It carried 30.2 million passengers in 2010-2011, and the percentage of operating costs covered by fares was 79%, the highest return reported ...
