Dear Editor,
We are a small unaffiliated group of Alameda residents (myself, Karin Lucas [attorney and former Alameda City Council Member], Horst Breuer [former Economic Development Commission Chair], Adam Gillitt [2010 city council candidate], Greg de Haan, Denise Lai, Mark Linde, Rosemary McNally) who authored, signed, and sent a request for an investigation to California State Attorney General (AG) Kamala Harris. We are unrelated by campaigns or any politics but are united in a single purpose: we have a right to expect fire services to rescue and protect us and we have a right to expect our city management to ensure this.

Dear Editor,
My husband and I owned and operated the Boniere Bakery for nearly 25 years until my husband had a stroke and several operations, which forced us to sell the bakery.

Dear Editor,
It might come as a surprise to many of you, but your parcel tax money isn’t being used to shore up Alameda Hospital any more. The District just borrowed $900,000 against our expected parcel tax revenue to lease space for and construct a Wound Care Clinic at Marina Village.

Dear Editor,
For Alameda city officials to leave the investigation of Raymond Zack’s death in the hands of but one for-profit individual is a mistake, no matter who it is.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
Here are two letters to the editor that I have sent to the local papers:
We are all to blame
As outrageous as what happened on Memorial Day weekend at Crown beach is, we, the citizens of Alameda are all to blame at some level. I for one who is a dues-paying, card-carrying member of the International Association of Fire Fighters and a retired member of a local fire department have watched a succession of placeholder Fire Chiefs lose control of the Alameda Fire Department by lack of action, self-serving policies and very little interest in our community. In the last ten years, we have had at least as many odd ball and in some cases plain incompetent leaders.

Action Alameda News received this letter before noon on Monday, May 16th.
Dear Editor:
Where are the cops when people are speeding down every street (including in school zones), running red lights and stop signs, and failing to stop for pedestrians?

Dear Editor,
Please advise the public of the next parcel tax to be considered by Alameda voters in a special tax election (regardless of the outcome of Measure A).

[Editor note: Bolding and italics are present in the original...]
Dear Editor:
The pro Measure A folks have filed a complaint about a letter I wrote. Their complaint states:
“In the last three years, Alameda has had two parcel tax elections in which the outcome has been determined by a very small number of votes. This could be true of the upcoming election.”
They take umbrage at my words “Call and email at least 10 of your like minded friends, relatives and neighbors and remind them of their civic responsibility to Vote… Offer to drive friends, pick up absentee ballots and hand deliver them to the City Clerk.” Please note, I am not on any committee and do not know who all the members are of either committee, nor have I received any economic benefit from either side.
