{ In Response to: Police Blotter (Feb. 18th, 2010) }
I am curious as to why names of the alleged are presented in every story except those involving UCSC students. Even in the instance of the three teens caught burglarizing a Coral St. business, names were provided of all adults involved.
A glaring example of your school-chum [...]

Dear City on a Hill Press,
It was no surprise that President Obama retained the language that prohibits spending federal funds on syringe exchange programs in the President’s Fiscal Year 2010 Budget. We had been receiving that message since the inauguration.

As well, the recent CHP ad quoting Obama’s support of Israel’s twisted and perverted policies just goes to show how morally and spiritually depraved and bankrupt the ultra-right wing [...]
