Cast your vote for Gutzeit

Gutzeit and Trautman have the skills
To The Editor: I am writing to announce my support for Maria Gutzeit and Diane Trautman for City Council.
Strongly supporting Trautman
To The Editor: I would like to voice my strong support of Diane Trautman for the position of City Council member. I have worked with Diane on the Arts Advisory Committee. I have seen a determined, creative problem-solver who intelligently guides issues toward a positive outcome.
Gutzeit gets it

Trautman is a voice for the people

Trautman's got character
To The Editor: I would like to encourage Santa Clarita citizens to cast their votes for Diane Trautman for City Council.|
A salute to Kellar
To The Editor: We are writing to express our most profound appreciation to our Mayor, Mr. Bob Kellar.
Trautman shows leadership
To The Editor: Beyond the fray of "hit" mailers and the illegally funded endorsements backed by big-developer money, there is a candidate who has quietly pressed on with the important issues that matter to all of us. That candidate is Diane Trautman.
Maria Gutzeit for council
To the Editor: Maria Gutzeit is one of the candidates running for City Council. This is an opportunity for the city to really help itself. I've watched her public career for the past five or so years and have to share what I've seen. Remember when the Newhall County Water District board meetings were reported by The Signal as notorious affairs with very little being accomplished? Maria was elected to the board and things changed. ...
Diane Trautman for council
I wholeheartedly endorse Diane for City Council. I have never met anyone who does the homework necessary to make important decisions like Diane. She reads background material and actually listens to perspectives of those who will be impacted by her decisions. Only then does she take a position, and actually follows through with actions necessary to support her decision. Currently a planning commissioner, she demonstrated her knowledge about the problems confronting this community during the ...
Council needs new blood
There are two openings on the City Council. It is time to fill Bob Kellar's opening with a qualified candidate such as Diane Trautman.
Ender can do the job
To The Editor: I met City Council candidate Laurie Ender 25 years ago at Pepperdine University. We were both freshmen, and Laurie was hanging up political posters for her run for student council. I'm pretty sure the first thing she said to me was, "May I count on your vote?" She did get my vote, and has been a close friend ever since. It is absolutely no surprise to me, or any of her college ...
A testament to Trautman
To The Editor: I am writing today on behalf of Diane Trautman, a highly qualified candidate who will make a great addition to the Santa Clarita City Council. I met Diane back in 1998 at James Foster Elementary School. She was heavily involved with PTA and the school, and her commitment and dedication to Foster helped make the school a great place for our kids and a great place for parents to become involved. Over ...
Trautman speaks for seniors
To The Editor: The city of Santa Clarita has evolved over the past two decades with worthy expansion and development. As we move toward the future, though, the viability of our infrastructure will depend on those who recognize balance between our social and economic needs. Until now, the needs of our senior population have largely been ignored.
They should know better
To The Editor: It seems "fashionable" for some members of Santa Clarita's City Council to claim stupidity when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. It appears as though all a person has to say when they get caught is: "I'm sorry, I didn't know the law," or "I may have violated state law."

In her column "Truth Floats despite tyranny on the Potomac" (The Signal, May 28), Susan Stamper Brown was right that allegations of high-level criminal activity can bring down a government.
Global warming is real, but it’s not controllable

Regarding the article by the Rev. David Hegg "What is happening to the U.S.?" (May 26): To write negatively about the young American generation is very unfair, and untrue.

We have some questions about Benghazi and administration policies to ask of President Barack Obama and our fellow Americans:
Tune in to the media for an entertaining adventure into irony
She bucked ‘the system’ and won
My hat is off to teacher Monica Ratliff. With small campaign funds and an abundance of "common-sense" rhetoric, she defeated a strong favorite for a Los Angeles school board win.
Cemex deal will cost more millions
Hurray for Mr. Petzold's letter "Cemex bill would cost us millions") (May 24) about the millions more the city is going to spend on the Cemex deal.
Seeing corporations through Left-tinted glasses
I read Tina Dupuy's column "Apple could pay for Moore - and more" (May 28) and was frankly pretty amazed at the lack of intellectual consistency in it, though I probably shouldn't have been, given all the recent histrionics from the Left.
Reason for no outrage
I just read Betty Arensons' May 24 column, "Where is the outrage?" wherein she describes all the recent and many of the past scandals attributed to this administration and wonders why there is not more public outrage.

In recognition of the increased presence of our two-wheeled counterparts on the street enjoying spring weather, May has been declared National Bike Month.
