The Signal.com's Daybreak: June 15, 2009
Hello, Santa Clarita Valley! Welcome to The-Signal.com's Daybreak, your point of entry for the day, and a quick journey through the past, present and future. Let the adventure begin:
Comfort, conservation
A big problem in the Santa Clarita Valley is hot weather in the summertime. Usually many communities provide several services like pools, tennis courts and playgrounds for kids. Some homes have their own pools in their back yards. Even though the community tries to make people as comfortable as possible, killing weather with temperatures hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit can make living in here miserable. When every resident turns on their air conditioner at the ...
Inmates running asylum
We can't afford health care. No more schools for kindergartners. We have to let prisoners out. Cut budgets for fire departments and police departments. No more money for seniors. Unemployment funds run out.
Vermont needs more light
It is the 21st century and yet there is still no light at Vermont Drive and Lyons Avenue in Newhall.
Economic discrimination
While reading Carole Lutness' Opinion column about how "Corporations, super-wealthy must pay their fair share" (June 9), I have come to the conclusion that she and the left are discriminators.
Lunetta missed it
Steve Lunetta doesn't get it. His Opinion column ("The state training scam," The Signal, May 25) says training through employers is wasteful. Obviously, he is right that the state sometimes makes mistakes, but so does the private sector. But he is wrong to say government shouldn't be helping to train people who have finished school, gone to work and paid their dues. I am an instructor at Glendale Community College and I have worked in ...
MRF committee
I was distressed to read that Lynne Plambeck was not appointed to the MRF committee ("City asks Sierra Club for another nominee," The Signal, June 9).
Mini health fair added
In continued efforts to help caregivers receive the support, information and self-care they deserve, the Santa Clarita Senior Center has added a mini health fair to its upcoming June 20, Caregiver Resource Day.

Signal Editorial Board: Balancing took careful planning
How bad is the economy? If you only read our headline earlier this week about a "$68.6 Million Budget Reduction," you would think it is so bad that the city of Santa Clarita is slashing its budget by nearly one-third - from $241 million last year to just $172 million for the fiscal year starting July 1.
