I am writing as an outraged parent of three elementary school-aged children. The bullying, and vicious attacks on our students is still up and rising, despite what our area schools tell us, and I have seen people on various bullying sites talking about how their children are being bullied or have been beat up before,…

Interesting article Oct 5, 2013 by Ron Gastineau regarding 150% water rates increases.  Mr. Gastineau, if you and your fellow members of the City Council are so worried about lack of money for your purposes, how come City Council gave themselves a pay increase? Gracie Cooper Crescent City, Ca.

The City Council of Crescent City wants to increase our water rates. They have come up with a number of reasons why with the most recent reason being, “because we have not raised rates in years and we have the cheapest water in the state.”  The truth of the matter is this, the city will…

As the prop 218 protest to stop the water rate increase gains momentum, I wanted to relate my experience as I go door to door collecting signatures and talking to people. With the exception of a very few, people are expressing their thanks that we are doing this. I have heard so many stories from…

I heard about the proposed rate increase for water and sewer and I have to wonder who the Powers That Be in this city think we are? Look around and you’ll see lots of vacant houses, lots of closed businesses, scarce and poor paying jobs, and people living on fixed incomes. I’m in the latter…

For some time now I have heard that there will be sewer rate increase made by the city. While I don’t live in the city but a few blocks out side the city limits I am affected none the less. I am a renter and am serviced by ‘city water and sewer.’  Because I am a…

My husband and I met Jon Alexander in 2006 and we have to say that he is a very kindhearted and dedicated man who is on a path to bring justice and fairness into our world. He wants all beings, animals and humans to be free from suffering. We supported him and campaigned for him…
