Sheriff’s division
ought to re-register copter
I see within the advert for the upcoming Stars & Strides that the Sheriff’s Division helicopter nonetheless bears the initials and birthday of Laurie Smith, the disgraced ex-sheriff.
I urge Sheriff Bob Jonsen to re-register the plane to N409PB, the badge quantity and initials of Deputy Paul Bush. Paul was killed within the line of responsibility in 1990, but the county of Santa Clara has by no means carried out something to formally acknowledge his sacrifice.
I do know that I’m joined on this by Paul’s fellow pals and colleagues. Let’s acknowledge somebody who deserves to be honored slightly than a self-indulgent politician who customized a chunk of publicly owned property.

Edwards will overcome
his newest problem
Re: “His greatest combat” (Web page C1, June 18).
I used to be saddened to see that Harry Edwards is preventing bone most cancers.
Harry and I have been on the freshman basketball workforce at San Jose State within the fall/winter of 1960-61.
Harry was our middle at 6’8″ and 250 kilos. I used to be the captain and level guard.
Harry was such a tough employee and, I consider, had a half-basketball and half-track scholarship. He has carried out nice work with many sports activities organizations and helped many younger folks within the Bay Space.
Apparently, he was certainly one of two starters on our workforce who subsequently grew to become esteemed faculty professors.
Harry, all the most effective in your combat, and I do know you’ll win yet one more battle towards the percentages.

Tax polluters for
local weather harm
Re: “Lawmakers are readying $15B ‘local weather invoice’” (Web page A1, June 25).
In my opinion, the proposed local weather bond is a horrible thought. The $15 billion will value triple that when curiosity on the bonds is included.
Because the oil and gasoline business is basically liable for the local weather disaster the state ought to lift $15 billion by taxing the business. As issues stand now California has among the many lowest taxes and charges on oil and gasoline as a consequence of heavy lobbying by the business. The state Legislature is taking the cowardly route by asking the voters to tax themselves slightly than taxing those that earn monumental earnings extracting oil and gasoline from state lands.
I intend to vote no if the bond measure reveals up on my poll. I urge others to vote no as effectively.

Trump’s troubles stem
from his conceitedness
From what authorized analysts have been saying, for violations of the Espionage Act, it doesn’t matter if paperwork have been categorised or declassified. Even when these paperwork had been declassified by the psychic energy of his thoughts, Donald Trump violated the act by merely possessing them improperly when requested to return them. He was not charged for paperwork that he did return.
He solely has his personal conceitedness responsible.

Trump’s crimes
can’t be pardoned
Re: “The very best transfer for Biden can be giving Donald Trump pardon” (Web page A12, June 18).
Marc Thiessen is floating the concept that the twice impeached, twice indicted (up to now), former President Donald Trump needs to be pardoned for his crimes towards this nation, its folks and its authorities.
There will be no pardon for making an attempt to overthrow our authorities by inciting an rebellion and for stealing and sharing categorised authorities paperwork. This is applicable to some other crimes that Trump might have dedicated, however have but to be prosecuted.

Sisters can’t undo good
work of spiritual ladies
Re: “Why Dodgers erred in honoring Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” (Web page A9, June 25).
I disagree with David Brooks regarding the Dodgers honoring The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The sisters have carried out a superb job serving to the needy, and it’s applicable to honor them.
Sure, they’re making enjoyable of ladies in spiritual orders, however so what. The musical “The Ebook of Mormon” makes enjoyable of among the practices of the Church of the Latter-day Saints. Once I noticed the present in San Jose, the playbill had an advert that hoped the ticket holders would benefit from the present after which go to the web site listed to seek out out what the LDS faith is all about.
A gaggle of males wearing outrageous spiritual costumes is not going to diminish the wonderful work carried out by the ladies within the spiritual orders.
