Here is part of the Roses and Raspberries from this morning’s (8/8) NCT:
The “Too Hot to Handle” award A raspberry to John Roach, the superintendent of Carlsbad Unified School District, who canceled a community forum hosted by Sen. Bill Morrow, R-Oceanside, to discuss immigration and its effects on North County. Roach worried that demonstrators […]
As one of the experts interviewed for this article, I’d like to correct a couple of items. First, the fraud alert should just say- potential id theft victim, contact me prior to issuing credit.
