Tweaking Prop. 19 could hurt taxpayers
Re: “Inheritance levy target of repeal” (Page A1, Nov. 30).
It takes taxes for our local governments to provide services. When I bought houses, I expected to pay the same as others who bought.

If we increase the assessment break for the survivors, taxes for the rest of us, including struggling first-time buyers, will be higher, or services will be less.
I’d leave Proposition 19 as is.

Misleading talk aside, boat strikes are crimes
Re: “Lawmakers suggest follow-up boat strike could be war crime” (Page A3, Dec. 1).
Of course the follow-up strikes on the boats that the Trump regime has designated as carrying drugs were war crimes.
The question is why does mainstream media act as though it is a question, and not clear? This is not even to mention that all the strikes, not just that second one, are not just war crimes but premeditated murder.
Murdering civilians, intentionally, is clearly a war crime. The Trump regime’s false conflation of a metaphorical “drug war” with a real war does not make it so, any more than the “alternative facts” of a rigged election in 2020 or the biggest crowds ever for Trump’s inauguration or climate change being a hoax or a thousand other lies are true. Lies are lies, not just another point of view.

Change negative tone toward the president
Every day I read your newspaper it’s always filled with negative things regarding President Trump.
Why can’t you write positive things about the president as well? And you’re always running cartoons about his funny hairstyle, which should be stopped. Believe it or not, President Trump is trying to make this country better for everyone. However, I know your writing is negative about the president, and our enemies are aware of that.
Please change this.
