Don’t let ideological
assaults derail DA

Re: “DA dropped the ball on taking pictures prices” (Web page A6, April 18).

Ninfa Woods letter to the editor ignores a lot of the filed prices in your article, “3 charged with deadly freeway taking pictures” (Web page A1, April 15), after which says Alameda County District Lawyer Pamela Value needs to be recalled.

Let’s evaluation the info. DA Value introduced that her prosecutors had filed homicide prices towards all three males. Including in felony firearms prices might result in 42 years every upon conviction. They haven’t dominated out including future gang enhancements upon reviewing all proof.

After three months, Value, who obtained 53% of the vote in November, appears to be on a collision course for an undeserved recall. Recall elections are costly; Gov. Gavin Newsom’s value California $276 million. They’re additionally the final bastion of hope for conservatives to unseat progressive winners.

Let’s cease this assault by ideology-opposed people towards progressive district attorneys and allow them to do their jobs.

Feinstein ought to retire;
Boxer ought to serve

California has an issue within the U.S. Senate. Dianne Feinstein has been absent from the Senate for months now. I want her a speedy restoration however she ought to contemplate resigning for one of the best of all Californians.

Gov. Newsom beforehand mentioned that he would appoint a Black girl for the Senate if the seat grew to become vacant. If Feinstein does resign, Newsom ought to have a dialog with Barbara Boxer to return to the Senate till the 2024 election. Boxer has already been within the Senate and may hit the bottom operating and he or she gained’t be within the operating to exchange Feinstein. Not that Barbara Lee (the one Black girl operating for the seat) wouldn’t make an excellent senator however Californians ought to get the choice to elect whomever they selected with none benefit of a present however short-term occupant.

This helps the Senate transfer ahead with issues of enterprise.

Hold Alzheimer’s medication
lined by Medicare

As a former caregiver for my mother who lived with Alzheimer’s for 13 years, entry to remedies that may gradual the development of the illness is of crucial significance to me. For the primary time Medicare has refused to cowl an FDA-approved therapy upon approval.

Remedies within the early phases of Alzheimer’s promise a greater high quality of life. Individuals dwelling with Alzheimer’s and their medical doctors ought to be capable to determine if a therapy is true for them and may have it lined by Medicare. If Medicare thinks having extra high quality time with an incurable sickness isn’t cheap or vital, it shouldn’t cowl each different FDA-approved therapy for different deadly ailments.

Be part of me in urging members of Congress demand Medicare take motion to make sure individuals dwelling with Alzheimer’s have the identical entry to FDA-approved therapy.
