I agree. I was also a supporter of Noreen Evans. But, Lynda has really stepped up to the plate for us.

Lynda Hopkins has more than earned a second term. The last several years in our county have been more challenging than one can ever recall. I was a supporter of Noreen Evans and quite skeptical of...

Taxpayers are going to be furious if we're asked to spend money to recall one of the best supervisors. Nobody doubts Stuart is righteously angry about the filth near his home, but the ad hominem...

(podfish) Agreed. Stuart, you've made your points many times. If your intention is to try & get a recall, then perhaps you should just focus your energy on that rather than inflaming more. You've...

Stuart Kiehl has been accused of not doing his homework re. the trail situation. I disagree. To him, his homework consists of rereading his own emails over and over, kinda like the teacher making you...

I wish there was a thumbs down button that had teeth because this post would get it.

Well, if you want to slander Hopkins, go ahead, but I'm pretty certain you'll regret it. You'll wind up with another Capt. Underpants, wasting taxpayer money to sleep around and get a lawyer paid...

Seriously? Lynda is probably the smartest, hardest working supervisor. She may not be perfect but let's be realistic....nobody knows how to solve the homeless problem and the housing problem and the...

Mr. Kiehl,

Is your dislike of the trail folks because you have real estate affected the encampment?

Supervisor Hopkins is working to remove the encampment from the trail and she will do it when...

My comments:
