The Sacramento BeeJune 7, 2010: Popular Auburn State recreation area could close due to California's budget crisis. The preference to vote by mail or by going to the polls. Tens of thousands of dollars go to sheriffs' campaigns. In the article about California's budget crisis, they didn't give much information on how they were going to try to solve the problem. It was mostly one-sided on the fact that the state can't do anything to solve the problem. I wonder if the people who contribute so much to their candidates are among the same people who are upset about the National Recreation Area being closed. If they have enough money to support their candidates, do they also have enough money to give to the park to keep it open? Tens of thousands of dollars are being invested in this election, but the city can't keep a national park open, that just doesn't seem right to me. June 8, 2010: Neighbors come together to convince municipal authorities to solve a drainage problem. . Nurses plan one-day strike to win better care for patients and hospital staff. Voters are wondering how to stop political robocalls. In the article about nurses considering a strike, there is not enough information about certain types of problems occurring at the hospital and how they might try to resolve these problems. The article is very biased, it leads you to sympathize with the nurses, without hearing the other side of the story. In the article about the drainage problem, I am concerned that city officials say the drainage is good and too expensive to fix. It is very contradictory to say that there is nothing wrong with it and that the repair is too expensive. Especially when the article contains photos of water levels...... middle of paper...... falling mortgages for struggling homeowners. Governments that fail to meet their obligations to help the poor or homeless are sued for budget cuts. The Supreme Court rules that Washington state can release the names of people who signed petitions seeking to overturn a same-sex domestic partnership law. The article about governments being sued for budget cuts is one-sided. County officials haven't made many statements defending themselves, so you only have one story. In the article on mortgages, I wonder why the government didn't try this sooner. The article also states that this will happen in the Sacramento area, but does not specify whether it will also happen throughout California. I agree with the regulations to be able to apply for the program, for example, homeowners must live in the home they are mortgaging..
