Cheers and Jeers, July 14
I love the fire department and the work they do. I also think that raising money for muscular dystrophy is commendable. Jeers, however, towards the Fill the Boot campaign. This event causes a traffic mess at a busy corner as the fire personnel stop each car and ask them to put money in the boot. I also resent being pressured to give money to this or any "good cause." Can we rethink this and come up with a better way?
Cheers to the Gateway for presenting the Peninsula School District Class of 2016! Proud parents (and grandparents) appreciate it.
