LETTERS: Swanson, Krovoza deserve your vote

IÕd rather opt for council diversity

Davis Are we really going to elect two people from the Institute of Transportation Students at UC Davis to serve on our City Council? I suppose transportation is an important issue, but such a narrow focus might not be whatÕs best for our community as a whole. If you believe Bob Dunning, however, the two … Continue Reading

Krovoza brings people together

Davis As a political reporter for 25 years, I was unable to endorse any candidate for any office. Now that I have left that field, it is a pleasure to publicly support Joe Krovoza for City Council.

40 years ago, 4 were dead in Ohio

Temper idealism with pragmatism

Davis The EnterpriseÕs summary Sunday of two City Council candidate forums helped me move closer to making my voting decisions. I give thumbs up to Daniel Watts for recognizing the inadequacy of housing in Davis; Joe KrovozaÕs vision of achieving Òaging in placeÓ by stacking seniors in multi-story apartment complexes is unappealing. The other candidatesÕ … Continue Reading

Sylvia has compassion and skill

Davis As the Yolo County clerk-recorder, I do not usually endorse political candidates, but as the former assistant public guardian-administrator for Yolo County, I feel I have to speak up for Cass Sylvia, the incumbent Yolo County public guardian-administrator. Cass has a tremendously difficult, largely under-appreciated job. She does it with intelligence, compassion and skill. … Continue Reading
