In the 24 years that Mr. Stark has served on the Triunfo Sanitation District (TSD) board he has repeatedly opposed any attempts to allow ratepayers to elect the board's five members. Now, one week before the election, he is suddenly supporting an all-elected board, though with the proviso that the members be elected from districts. More ... I am a student at Oak Park High School. Our teachers are really great but the schools deserve to be fixed. It would really help us because we don't want the schools to fall down. We really need air conditioning in the gym. We have two fans and they hardly help at all. More ... Measure R is a reasonable measure that will enable necessary repairs for our schools. Thirty years have passed and Oak Park is the only unified school district in Ventura County that has not passed a facilities bond for repairs. Every other district has passed one. More ... Oak Park's Tony Knight has some nerve to accept a raise when all other local superintendents waived theirs.

The sign, which cost me $10, was my expression of support for the candidate of my choice. I haven't seen any local McCain/ Palin signs absent from the yards of my neighbors who put them out. More ... I really feel for all you bigots who support Prop 8. You're really between a rock and a hard place. If you support this proposition on political grounds, you lose because our country was founded on the concept that "all men are created equal. More ... With the current budget crisis in the state of California affecting our schools and quality of education, I am astounded that the California Teacher's Association would donate $1.25 million to the "No on Prop 8" campaign. More ... Currently in California, a girl under the age of 18 can legally obtain an abortion without the knowledge or consent of her parents. However, if the following day she wishes to get her ears pierced or needs an aspirin at school, parental consent is required. More ... You learn much about a person when you sit on political bodies with them. Jeff Borenstein was on the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which supplies water to over 18 million people in our area.
