For almost a decade, the people of Burma have been steadily working to establish elections, civilian governance, and the peacef...

By Esther Hickman, Opinion Because SMMUSD plans to move forward with its wasteful Samohi Campus Plan, it stated that it doesn’t have enough money to complete the projects promised in its bond campaigns, and will need more bond measures. Ballot measures for school bonds failed for California and Palos Verdes in 2020.

SMMUSD has a track record of financial mismanagement. When the School Boa...
