Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation recently sent a letter to The Enterprise listing a number of out of town people and organizations who had written to the City and the Attorney General about DACHA. The letter we sent was within the 350 word limit.
Regretfully, The Enterprise edited out the very important clarification of “organizations for identification only” and then also edited out the relationship of each of the letter writers to the organizations. As a result of The Enterprise’s editing the listing in many cases was misconstrued. We are sorry that the Enterprise deleted from our letter “organizations for identification only” and then the details relating to each individual. On our part, Twin Pines Cooperative Foundation apologizes for any misunderstanding The Enterprise’s editing may have caused.

Repeating again “organizations for identification only” here is the second grouping of out of town people and organizations who have written to the Davis City Council about the alleged wrongdoings of DACHA and the role of City staff.
