This letter is in response to Cary Tucker’s letter regarding the Triton Free Friday events being largely sponsored by the 49ers. The 49ers have not been a corporate sponsor of these events over the past year.

The events have been well-attended. We look forward to the next season of Triton Free Fridays.

Councilmember Karen Hardy said it best, “you either have ethics or you don’t” and clearly there are those in this city and county that do not have any. More importantly ... Read more
Roger KintAre you listening, Jude Barry? Based on what was described in court, you track every word the Santa Clara Weekly/Silicon Valley Voice pushes out about Santa Clara.
