Rusty Harris left out a key fact about the Rancho Del Oro interchange story. The 78/RDO interchange was planned when the area between Vista Way and Oceanside Blvd was zoned industrial many years ago. But this area was subsequently rezoned residential and built up with single-family homes and condos.
Why does this […]
Pay attention Wednesday night (Sept. 21) to what goes on with Jack Feller’s proposal for the Oceanside City Council to put additional studies of an controversial road project on the ballot for all city voters to weigh in on.
My take on Feller’s gambit regarding the long-proposed interchange of Rancho del Oro Drive and Highway 78 […]
There ought to be more than a few raised eyebrows among concerned taxpayers of the Vista Unifed School District.
The school district that covers all of Vista and parts of Oceanside is considering whether to close a couple of schools and sell the property because they’re not longer necessary, which is all well and fine.

Well, well, well, it looks like poor souls looking for a better future in El Norte aren’t the only ones running these days. It seems our modern day vigilantes gussied up as patriots under high-minded sounding names as “Defenders of This” or “Defenders of That” are now running from protestors who object to their questionable […]
Water Board should be Ashamed
Oceanside Councilwoman Esther Sanchez may think the long-planned, long-needed Highway 78 interchange with Rancho del Oro is “dead on arrival,” but we’ll see about that, won’t we?

Our 10,000 chronically homeless, a third of whom can be found in North County, haven’t been forced from their homes by a natural disaster.
Nor are they part of […]
There was a good laugher the other day; I missed it until tonight.
State Sen. Bill Morrow, in a Community Forum published in the North County Times, asserted he sued the city of Carlsbad for the right to hold his forum on illegal immigration at the risk of huge legal fees in order to protect the […]
Come on all ye taxpayers in the Hidden Valley, take a good look at what your elected officials on the City Council are up to tonight (Sept. 14) — they want to give themselves a 30 percent pay hike effective after the elections next year.
Granted, this apparent largess will be offset by legislated cuts in […]
Three weeks ago, Aug. 26 to be exact, I posted the basic question of are we really in a border crisis on the issue of illegal immigration as some state lawmakers would like to have us believe or are the using the issue simply for their own political gain.
Specifically I wrote:
The question is: Have matters […]
