Stray cat turned vicious because it was hungry
It took me a long time to respond to this article because it so
saddened me (“Sad cat fight,” June 15). Sorry about Ashley Swartz’s
cat. Wouldn’t it have been a lot easier and less painful if she had
just spent 25 cents and popped a can of food for the poor, starving
animal? The animal only turned vicious because it was hungry. Can’t
anyone relate to what hunger pangs and an empty stomach feel like?
More compassion, please.

Residents should not have to financially support Job Center
The Costa Mesa Job Center is set up to provide a location where
those who need work can meet with those who need workers. This is a
great idea, and one that could serve the community well.
The problem is that this Job Center is subsidized by the city of
Costa Mesa but provides services to many citizens of other
communities. There is no requirement that the workers looking for
work reside in Costa Mesa nor is there a requirement that employers
looking for workers reside or operate businesses in Costa Mesa. Why
should our city subsidize the Job Center for the benefit of other
communities, such as Santa Ana residents and Newport Beach employers?
If we are going to operate this program in and for Costa Mesa,
residents and business owners of other communities should pay for the
service. Or move it to Newport Beach. This is another case of the
liberal establishment purporting to know what is best for the rest of
us.
