Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, CA has a rich history as a gathering place, event space, and city center. It isn't just about Concord though - as a world citizen I am tired of seeing unique areas of cities being swallowed up by corporations pushing out small and/or unique retailers that we want, homogenizing our shopping experiences to the extent that regardless of where you go - you get to have Chipotle, The Habit, and some wing chain. My 18-year-old son has grown up with the Friday night tradition of walking to Todos Santos Plaza to visit friends at EJ Phair, walk over to Half Price to browse/shop for books/records/whatever - then head on home after picking up a burrito from Taqueria Los Dos Gallos. Why would we want to replace Half Price with a 5th bank location? Or another chain restaurant? Concord is proud of its heritage - but it is being ruined and replaced so that it is no longer unique or appealing at all. My son has always dreamed of taking over our house to remain in the area - but now even he is onboard with turning our home into a rental because the area is no longer charming - it's homogenized and completely uninspiring.

I am a first generation dairyman who owns a small dairy. I love my job and the animals and with milk prices so low we are having to borrow money just to feed the cows and stay in business and work 16 to 18 hours a day. Our cows are our family and we are being forced to think about getting rid of them because of the small dairy economy.

To have the town of Pagosa Springs realize they are placing a business in jeopardy and taking away a venue that is beloved by the citizens of Pagosa Springs. Shooters & Shenanigans is the premier venue for live music and dancing in Pagosa Springs. We need Andrea Phillips, Town Manager of Pagosa Springs, to realize that a noise variance is needed.

Due to the closure of The Josh Gibson Center, VITA will need to find another location in May 2019. We will need another Free Space in order to continue helping our community with FREE VITA Tax Preparation & Audit Assistance. We have provided this Free service for 11 years, we have averaged bringing back over 1.5 million dollars per year to our local area. Please sign the petition to show both our City and County Commissioners just how important this program is and how we desperately need to preserve it, especially since our entire staff consists of all volunteers who donate their time to help our fellow community members. Thank You for your support and patronage.

Mountains Edge is a premier master-planned community that is a great spot to call home. One of the issues that we face is that we have no retail within the community to support the residents. We cannot remain a great community if we continue to reject any and all proposal to bring businesses within our borders.

Lets say no to this zone change.

Shooting's, stabbings right in our residential neighborhood. Our kids playing on the streets and drunks parking in front of our homes to avoid detection from police. Wandering our streets after closings causing disruption in the middle of the night. Gunfire so close to where our children play and sleep. This place must be closed. A residential neighborhood is no place for that kind of business.

Our business opened in August 2017 in the Sycamore Plaza at 2436 W. Whittier Blvd in La Habra. We have held a "Rides & Coffee" event every single month on the first Sunday each month for over 1 year now. This sale consists of customers coming by at 8 am; we provide coffee, donuts, discounts, music (not excessive volume), and a raffle. What this event does is bring us a significant amount of exposure to our business and also for the center, which has been pretty quiet for a few years. Each Sunday, only 1 other business is even open for business while the sale is on. The Donut Shop (Jax Donuts) loves us as we bring great business to their establishment! The other 3 businesses don't open until after the event has concluded. Only 65% of the businesses in the center are even open on Sundays and all shops but one are closed while our sale is on. We not only bring more exposure and business to this quiet center but also to the city of LaHabra (all families tend to go eat brunch after our sale). We believe this event has been a positive event for the center and for the city as we have never had any issues with our customers or the businesses in the area for the past 16 events we've had. This is NOT a car show but a sale. We did on one occasion hand out awards to customers, but this is NOT a sanctioned car show. Also, we have had such a positive impact for the community that the Chamber of Commerce has asked our shop to host their first ever car show at the Citrus Fair this year. Many members of the community and even Chamber members have attended and they love this sale/event we hold once a month. We have had several officers from La Habra Police Department stop by throughout the year and all they can do is thank us for a great time and keeping the event under control (without any issues like you see on the local news media with the typical car scene). Our Company Chemical Guys, which has been in business for over 17 years, operates 40+ stores across the country and run these sales once a month at each location. Last but not least, I have taken videos of how sad and empty this center is on a typical Sunday from 6 am to 5 pm. Very few patrons even shop in this center on any given Sunday. We feel we are only helping the community and the businesses in La Habra with the traffic and clientele we attract. This store has been in our community for over 17 months and is an added value to the entire business mix within the surrounding districts of La Habra. The demographics for La Habra demonstrate that we are a very diverse community both socially and economically. La Habra also has a vast number of car enthusiasts and certainly, all can benefit from the products and services that Our Shop provides.

Attorneys appearing at the 606 S. Olive Immigration Court in Los Angeles are regularly being forced to wait outside in long lines with the general public rather than allowing them the professional courtesy of early entry into the building an/or front of the line privileges.

While the IRS will be able to process refunds most of the agency is shuttered by the shutdown. As taxpayers cannot cannot consult the IRS and the shutdown may go on indefinitely the tax filing deadline should be extended from 04/15 to 07/15. In addition, for those taxpayers who owe money payment should be similarly extended to 07/15. Perhaps this will place some pressure on the White House and Congress to come to their senses.
