Vote no on playing
Props. 26 and 27
Re. “Disentangling adverts on playing props, homelessness and California tribes,” Web page A1, Sept. 12:
The article on Sept. 12 does an excellent job of evaluating the propaganda that either side of the Proposition 26 versus Proposition 27 battle are presenting.
Each of the campaigns current the concept extra playing is an efficient factor. Projecting a whole lot of hundreds of thousands of dollars for social packages means billions are being taken out of the state. Whereas we have to tackle homelessness, funding on the backs of gamblers is a poor technique to fund packages.
I might argue that we don't want extra playing and urge a no vote on each Proposition 26 and Proposition 27.

Diablo Glen would
damage Walnut Creek
I'm strongly against the Spieker improvement proposal referred to as Diablo Glen.
I've lived in Walnut Creek for 25 years and love dwelling right here for a lot of causes. At age 85, I've witnessed the adjustments and agree with a lot of them, however Diablo Glen goes to create havoc on this a part of our metropolis.
Let’s maintain companies like this the place they belong, not in neighborhoods the place it should affect youngsters and adults, open areas which have outlined our metropolis, biking and strolling paths and views of our lovely Mount Diablo. The challenge will convey 4 or 5 years of noise, filth, mud and vehicles, all inside an space that features Clarke Swimming Facility, Heather Farm Rose Gardens, Heather Farm Park and playgrounds the place households collect every weekend to picnic.
Allow us to get pleasure from the great thing about Walnut Creek.

Non-public sector will lead
inexperienced vitality change
Re. “Can California actually remodel its energy grid to be fully inexperienced?” Web page A9, Sept. 11:
Dan Walters of CalMatters brings up nice factors relating to California’s electrification challenges.
Fortunately, it’s not simply on the federal government’s shoulders. The non-public sector is right here to make the dream a actuality, inside the bounds of actuality. It gained’t be authorities officers drawing up blueprints for electric-ready houses or calculating district load sharing. It will likely be the specialists in these fields, and Californians are behind them. We noticed in February voters crush the CPUC plan to hobble the state photo voltaic program, and 62% supported the auto electrification deadline.
We are able to look to tech akin to V2G (automobile to grid) and scorching water warmth pumps for ways in which load sharing can easy vitality demand peaks. We've got to hope that, with the accessible funds within the federal Inflation Discount Act, and with the non-public sector given the go-ahead, we will obtain this much-needed purpose that the remainder of the nation is trying to.
