By Donna Westfall – February 24, 2017 – Take a look-see at the February 7th letter from Gov. Brown's Executive Secretary to the National Governor's Association Exec. Director and CEO. See anything wrong with it? There are three more pages that include all kinds of bridges and highway work, rail and transit work, water recycling, water reliability, flood control, ecosystem enhancement, emergency response and military and veterans projects. BUT THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT FIXING LAST CHANCE GRADE OR ANYTHING ELSE IN DEL NORTE COUNTY. If ever there was a case to be made for forming the State of Jefferson it's this: When Gov. Brown's office talks about "these projects will benefit businesses up and down the state and put thousands to work" don't believe it because if our Highway goes into the ocean, Del Norte County is up a creek without a paddle.
