Tony’s Thoughts: Thanks for following through, PVUSD
I’d like to give a big thanks to the Pajaro Valley Unified School District and its board of trustees for moving forward with the much-needed renovation of Watsonville High School’s stadium. On Wednesday, the trustees approved a contract for the design of the stadium...
God, guns and a confused nation
