Eliminate Politics Please on Hayward Hill Slide Problem
Past week’s events have turned the Chicoine Avenue slide into a political circus. Hayward officials flew to Washington seeking federal aid but returned with no help.

Fremont Secrecy Critique on Zoning and Press Rights
Reader letters condemn secrecy around a Niles factory zoning change and urge open government under the Brown Act. They cite Cal standards for public access, cite court rulings on public records, and defend press freedom as essential to democracy with calls for injunctions if violations occur.
