Assembly OK’s Wilk Bill on Bullet Train Meetings
Tuesday, Jun 2, 2015

Assemblyman Scott Wilk’s bill to close a loophole the California High-Speed Rail Authority has used repeatedly to meet without public involvement passed the Assembly Floor. “The California High-Speed Rail Authority lacks transparency and accountability and continues to deliver broken promises,”...

One Question: Why?

Once again the California High Speed Rail folks tried to convince us we are going to be better off if the train runs through our valley. Once again we went and told them we don’t want it, and once again we are ignored. Snake oil salesmen. Patent medicine all over again. This will make you feel better,...

Father-Son Tag Team
Wednesday, May 13, 2015

I’ve been reading a little – and listening, too – and I must say there are a lot of people who don’t have a clue as to where they live. It usually goes something like this: “I’m so sick of the City Council approving more building between Magic Mountain and West Ranch. Don’t they...

Friday, May 8, 2015

How many of you love the “auto-correct” feature on Facebook and other places on the Internet? Anyone? I recently made a comment on a site, and the word “find” was replaced with another word that at least started with the letter “F.” Let me say here that I’m very sorry if I offended anyone....

Tuesday, Apr 28, 2015

About 1,500 Santa Clarita Valley residents booed, clapped and cheered as Santa Clarita hosted a meeting Monday night at Canyon High ostensibly to decry the high speed rail plan. Representatives from Santa Clarita, San Fernando, Acton and Agua Dulce — the areas where officials feel their cities could...

Navy Colors
Monday, Apr 27, 2015

Tonight is the night, and I cannot be there due to a prior commitment. I’m sure there will be plenty of meetings to come, but this one, the first one, is the one I really wanted to attend. I cannot begin to tell you just how important this meeting is and that we need not just hundreds of folks to attend,...

Stop the Bullet
Saturday, Apr 25, 2015

Andrew G. Fried If you don’t like the idea of the state bulldozing your home or church to clear the path for a high-speed train, then now is the time to be heard. The city of Santa Clarita is encouraging residents of Santa Clarita, Acton, Agua Dulce and the San Fernando Valley to attend an emergency...

Gullibility Factor
Thursday, Apr 23, 2015

If there is one thing California lacks besides water, it has to be the ability to set priorities. Once again I say: How did the high-speed train become a priority? As I type this, the song, “Over the Rainbow,” started playing. How appropriate can that get? These over-the-rainbow ideas we all voted...

Forward to the Past
Wednesday, Apr 22, 2015

Why are the folks at the California High Speed Rail Authority telling us we have to step into the technology of the 21st Century when they are really proposing using slightly upgraded 19th-century technology? I mean really, folks. The whole idea is just a train that goes on rails set really carefully...
