State ought to put finish
to secret land offers
Re: “Land offers close to Travis Air Drive Base require scrutiny” (Web page A6, Aug. 8).
How is it potential to purchase land anonymously in California, particularly land surrounding a significant army base?
California mustn’t allow abroad traders nor Restricted Legal responsibility Companies (LLCs) registered in New Jersey (which allows hiding the id of consumers) from shopping for property in California. This can be a main menace to nationwide safety. It’s too straightforward for international governments and abroad speculators to purchase up property in California.
Our Legislature should cross legal guidelines to forestall this.

Thank Gov. Newsom
for doing troublesome job
Re: “Newsom intervened on banned books, so why not college closures?” (Web page A9, Aug. 6).
I discovered it ironic that Dan Walters’ column complaining about Gov. Gavin Newson but once more over the varsity closures was put subsequent to an article in regards to the issues of lengthy COVID. Whereas we now know that faculties might have opened sooner and had been most likely not going to kill kids, the unions pushed again as a result of loads was unknown about COVID. It was a scary time to be in a crowded classroom, particularly for higher grades the place 35 new youngsters got here right into a room each 57 minutes.
Sure, we all know that studying loss occurred, however we hope individuals are lifelong learners and that college students can proceed to be taught and make up for his or her missed time in class.
As for Newsom performing quicker when state legal guidelines are damaged, all of us hope that the state will act when legal guidelines usually are not being adopted. We needs to be comfortable that he was doing his troublesome job.
