Applauds mayor's decision regarding sanctuary church

Right on, Mayor Miller. Finally somebody with courage and intelligence applies common sense to a growing problem of people with good hearts protecting people who are in this country illegally. Rev. More...

Church is responsible for creating situation

The city acted only after the church made a public political statement. More...

If protest comes to city hall, will council bill itself?

I totally agree with your editorial. I live in Simi and do not agree with the mayor and the City Council on many issues- especially this one. More...

Cost of police work seems inflated

Am I the only one in the city of Simi Valley that thinks a $39,306 bill for policing a two hour anti-immigration rally is a tad excessive? I know our city is not crimeridden, but get real. More...

Simi Valley's image is just fine

In response to your editorial that Simi Valley has an image of intolerance (Sept. 21), I wish to inform you that my husband and I moved to Simi Valley two years ago precisely because of its image. More...

Proud of city for standing up for what is right

Regarding the story in the Sept. More...

Supports mayor '100 percent'

I read with interest the article regarding the harboring of an illegal by United Church of Christ. I have no idea when or how it has become an accepted practice to flout the law. The law is quite clear. More...

Making headlines for the wrong reason

Once again, Simi Valley is receiving national notoriety for intolerance. I was raised here in Simi Valley, and my family has been in this country for four generations. I've traveled through most of this great nation in my adult life. More...

City may have bigger concerns

Regarding the mayor's bill to the Simi Valley United Church of Christ, it occurs to me that, if the mayor's math is correct, Simi Valley has a much bigger problem than a church giving shelter to a young woman and her baby. More...

Simi is intolerant . . . of crime

Unbelievable! You describe the people and/or city of Simi Valley as suffering from an image problem? You claim that Simi has had a negative public image, specifically citing intolerance. Intolerance is why my family moved here. More...

Church should stand its ground

Congratulations to Simi Valley and the United Church of Christ for caring enough for their fellow man to do something important albeit not popular with everyone. More...

Churches that offer sanctuary encourage others to do the same

Bravo to Mayor Paul Miller for his no-nonsense approach to something that will become more of a problem if not dealt with. More...
