@andeverything__nice: Step Into a Sunset Spring Morning
When you step into DamnFine Coffee Co., the first couple of things you notice are the beautiful photographs on the wall and kind employees who work behind the counter, always greeting customer with a smiling face. In addition to delicious coffee – try the iced vanilla-bean-paste latte – the shop also specializes in food to go; the pizza toast and salted chocolate chip cookie are crowd favorites.
Commentary: Richie Greenberg
The practice of offering low-income discounts on speeding ticket fines is a blatant violation of justice, undermining the very principles that should govern our legal system. It creates a two-tiered framework where the punishment for breaking the law—specifically, speeding—depends not on the offense itself, but on the offender’s bank account.

Letter to the Editor: Let Engardio Finish His Term
You don’t have to agree with every decision Supervisor Joel Engardio has made to recognize that he has delivered real results for District 4 and is deeply committed to continuing that work.
Letter to the Editor: Questions About Financial Transparency of Recall Campaign
Campaign finance laws exist for a reason: to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in our elections. But the recall campaign against Supervisor Joel Engardio has seemingly failed to follow basic financial disclosure rules – raising serious ethical and legal concerns.
Letter to the Editor: In Defense of Engardio’s Actions
Supervisor Engardio did not lie to us nor try to “sneak” Prop. K on the ballot. During his 2022 campaign, I asked him about his position on the Upper Great Highway. He supported the temporary weekend closure as the best option, versus Prop. I’s 24/7 reopening.

Letter to the Editor: Urging D4 Residents to Reject Recall Effort
From the very beginning, Joel has been open and honest with his constituents – both about the inevitable closure of the Great Highway, but also his support for a permanent park. Just because some people don’t like the outcome doesn’t mean we should recall an effective supervisor.
Letter to the Editor: Opposed to Engardio Recall
I oppose the recall, not just because it is a waste of taxpayer dollars, but because Supervisor Joel Engardio has done a tremendous job on the Board of Supervisors. He deserves to finish out his term, because he has been delivering results and improving our lives since day one.
