Transportation and Infrastructure

Misinformation campaign
Ventura County Reporter (Feb. 28, 2008)
When a wide assortment of the county’s bankers, elected officials, executives, real estate agents and other big wigs all gather for breakfast, one can’t expect they’re very interested in hearing bad news.

Not a laughing matter
Ventura County Reporter (Aug. 23, 2007)
Bridge ceremony holds little meaning with infrastructure crumbling.

On a road to nowhere
Ventura County Reporter (July 26, 2007)
Simply put, too many people want to go too many places. Too many people want to live in Ventura County and work elsewhere. Until such a time that transportation and urban planners focus on getting commuters to either stay home or get out of their cars we will continue to have a broken transportation system.

By foot, bike, or bus

Sexuality

Our Daughters at Risk:
Ventura County Reporter (March 13, 2008)
Three million of our daughters, sisters, nieces and granddaughters may suffer from illnesses which are dangerous, sometimes deadly, often incurable and almost always preventable, all because we live in a society still completely incapable of speaking frankly about sexuality and personal health.

Start talking, start listening
Ventura County Reporter (Feb. 21, 2008)

New Year’s resolutions from the Reporter

We’ll offer New Year’s resolutions for the community in the hope that they will inspire at least some small change in society.

Losing a voice
Ventura County Reporter (Dec. 27, 2007)
When word came through the Reporter’s office on Christmas Eve that Jeffrey W. San Marchi passed away Dec. 23, we were struck by the tragic poetry of the news. San Marchi — the owner, publisher, and editor of the Ojai & Ventura Voice — died while distributing his publication.

Freedom not the sole domain of the religious
Ventura County Reporter (Dec. 20, 2007)
Americans who believe all people, whatever they do, or do not, believe should be judged by their faith, and not by any factor beyond the actions they have taken in their lives, the efforts they have made for their neighbors and communities, and their ability to forgive and work to be forgiven, do not believe in freedom and justice for all.

Courting independence
Ventura County Reporter (June 28, 2007)
Much of our society — a woman’s ability to exercise the same rights as a man, the balance between free enterprise and opportunity for labor, freedom of speech, to name just a small slice — hangs on the precipice between this court’s conservative majority and its more liberal minority. But those who bemoan the court’s new makeup as just another cog in the machine of a vast right-wing conspiracy miss the point.
