Decide is the true
dwelling run king
Re. “Decide hits 62nd dwelling run to interrupt Maris’ AL report,” Web page C3, Oct. 5:
As a lifetime MLB fan and its wealthy historical past of data, I really loved Yankee Aaron Decide’s pursuit of baseball immortality, culminating in his historic 62nd dwelling run in Texas. Like Angels’ famous person Mike Trout, and retired greats like Derek Jeter, Stan Musial and Henry Aaron, Decide possesses the very uncommon mixture of prodigious, incomparable expertise and real humility.
As a diehard Giants fan, I had a front-row seat to Willie Mays, and extra lately to the contaminated accomplishments of Barry Bonds. With a lot respect for No. 99, who said that “73 is the report,” I urge to vary. The outlandish dwelling run totals of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire are as meaningless as Lance Armstrong’s “seven Tour de France titles. Whereas the biking neighborhood condemned Armstrong and stripped his titles, MLB fumbled the steroid period.
With Decide scaling the Roger Maris mountain, that is one fan who considers him the true single-season dwelling run report holder.

Cupertino doesn’t
want shaking up
Re. “Cupertino wants change. Elect Bono, Fruen and Mohan,” Web page A16, Oct. 2:
Removed from being reasoned, your endorsement of candidates for Cupertino Metropolis Council reads just like the phrase salad of an enraged narcissist; the name-calling was a pleasant contact.
J.R. Fruen just isn't cautious together with his FPPC filings, see FPPC complaints COM-08232022-02558 and COM- 08202022-02648. If he can not maintain his personal home so as, why would he maintain town’s home so as? Sheila Mohan’s expertise in authorities didn't cope with the nitty-gritty of municipal authorities. And whereas Claudio Bono is charming and type, it's unclear if he has the mileage on his odometer for this place.
Dysfunction doesn't imply an absence of assist for monied pursuits, it means issues usually are not working. Issues are working nice in Cupertino.

Eshoo’s skinny report
doesn’t advantage reelection
Homosexual Crawford’s declare in her Oct. 4 Letter (“Eshoo’s well being care report is unimpeachable,” Web page A6) that “Anna (Eshoo) has a report of getting payments handed and signed into legislation” is inaccurate. In her practically 30 years in Congress, Congress.gov reveals Eshoo has truly sponsored 5 unique payments that had been handed into legislation, and two of these had been to rename buildings. Test for your self.
So it isn't true that sixteenth Congressional District candidate Rishi Kumar has “chosen to misrepresent her report.” Rishi is telling the reality.
Eshoo has been in Congress for 30 years and has gotten 5 trivial payments handed into legislation. It's time to move the torch.

Does Homekey provide
sufficient bang for buck?
Re. “$38 million to permit lodge conversion in Newark,” Web page B1, Sept. 12:
California’s Homekey program gifted Newark $38 million for a 124-room extended-stay lodge. The Cedar Group Residences will home homeless, low-income, veterans and can obtain $10 million extra from Alameda County packages. The items have already got kitchens, so the reworking time is decreased.
Nonprofits – Allied Housing Options is the developer, Abode Companies gives on-site social companies, and Housing for Unbiased Folks, the on-site property supervisor – are in negotiations with town of Newark for his or her work and subsidies. We don’t know these prices; nonprofit doesn’t imply no cost. Rents are set at 30% of Space Medium Earnings. If an individual is homeless, they might make Extraordinarily Low Earnings (as much as $34,800), or Very Low Earnings ($58,000), their rents could be $870 and $1,450 or much less.
That is Everlasting Supportive Housing, which pays no tax and desires everlasting subsidies for unfavorable income, working prices and nonprofit assist. I'm wondering if there’s a greater means.
