Open Mouth, Insert Foot Tryon
With absolutely no clue as to anything concerning the wisdom of opening a business in Calaveras County in this economic climate. Supervisor Tryon stated that there is nothing to stop any business from applying to open a business in the many empty storefronts in the County.
Mr. Tryon, what about the fact that there is so much unemployment that was created by yours and the other Supervisors policies, that they would be idiots to open a new business anywhere in this county at this time?
Thundering Economics in the Foothills?
Tofanelli Stifles Public Comments
It was very apparent at Tuesday's Board of Supervisor meeting that Chair Tofanelli, backed up by Supervisor Tryon, are trying to stifle public comments before theirre-elections.
If anything should cause voters to vote for an alternative to an elected official who is so afraid of Public Comments that they move in to the end of the agenda, this is it.
We had previously believed that Tofanelli wouldn't play these games with Tryon behind them, but we never cease to be surprised at their disrespect for the Public.

It seems that during this election cycle everyone you talk to has a different idea of what is important, what has been mishandled, and what should change.
Collision on Hwy 26

Thunder in the Foothills
In an attempt to embarrass Cliff Edson, his main competition for the Supervisorial of District 1 job, Tofanelli asked Edson to name the 7 elements required in the General Plan. We felt this was unfair and intentional. Mr. Edson stated that he had just reviewed them but didn't have the list in front of him.
Highest Public Safety Issue?
There is quite a difference in the highest public safety concern between the candidates of District 2. Chris Wright says its methamphetamine, and pushed a book on the subject. Bryce Randall says its child abuse and domestic violence.Jenny Lind Firehouse Holds Mixer

Letter to Editor: Bias by the Press?
So glad to see you online now. I watched channel 9's interviews and debate of the candidates for Supervisors in three districts over the last weekend and I was not at all surprised at the bias I saw.
Who was allowed to be the commentator, a reporter from a newspaper many believe to be a Wilensky supporter in all ways.
Why Burn Permits?
Dear Editor:
The Angels Camp City Council is so determined to pass a burn permit law on us, and I don't understand why. I'll bet that if you hadn't passed that ridiculous resolution a year ago about CalFire that we would not be dealing with this now.
Why not rescind the original resolution and get back to taking care of us residents instead of making up more things to harrass us with I won't be voting for the Council people who vote to pass this, I don't know about anybody else.

Hot Off the Bypass - Burn Permits
Councilmember Raggio is the only one who still continues to vote against it, saying that it is more government regulation, that many homes in Angels Camp don't have a 24' clearance and many other reasons why this is a burden on the homeowners of Angels Camp. We agree with Raggio!
Letter to Editor - Sound Ordinance Now, A Challenge to The Board
Attention Sierra Sentinel Editor,As someone who lives very near the Kiva in Copperopolis in the Copper Cove Subdivision I am a resident very much concerned with the noise levels of those in my neighborhood and on Lake Tulloch. I would like to know what the Board of Supervisors are doing about the proposed sound ordinance? We are one of the few counties in the state that does not have a sound/noise ordinance and I would like to ask the Board of Supervisors why?
