brings with it shoplifting, shopping cart theft, vandalism, illegal trespassing, camping and campfires. Let’s not forget littering, waterway pollution, theft of recyclables from recyclable containers, drug and alcohol addiction, littering of used needles and other trash, personal property theft (bicycles for example), and increased demand on policing and medical services all at the expense of local taxpayers. For a group that has a lot of complaints and demands, they are noticeably silent on anything positive that they may bring to our community. I guess the big question is, do they want to be part of our community or are they only willing to use and abuse our community for their own personal gain? Gordon Reimer Chico

I had a dream that an independent socialist who lost in the 2016 Democratic primary is running again. I had a dream that a white woman who claimed Native American heritage to identify as a minority is in the race. I had a dream that a man who, like Trump, would defy a subpoena letter only to renege the next day, was in the race. I had a dream that millionaire Andrew Yang and billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer were in the race, all spending millions on TV ads that would be better spent for aid to the homeless. I recently received a scornful, derisive and mocking letter of retort for calling the array of Democratic candidates in the 2020 primary election “nightmarish.” But quite to the contrary, the nightmare lives on and escalates. Brace yourselves for four more years of Trump chaos on steroids. Ray Estes
