Tracy, CA [Tracy Press]: Second Thoughts: Prevention is key to Tracy’s gang problem

A father in jail. A mother addicted to meth. No home. No school. No stability. Just the money he could hustle to feed himself and his sister. According to one who knew him well, such was the first 13 years of life for Spencer Sampson.

Whats up with all crackheads here in Tracy? Even the parents were a couple of troublemakers....If they had responsible parents and stay out of trouble this Spencer guy and his sister would've had a better life and probably not gotten shot

It is sad that those days are gone for Tracy. It is good to be defensive in planning out your daily activities so that you don't into trouble. But I am not convinced that safer places to live have stopped to exist. Our city which has a great potential needs a better direction and hopefully more jobs for these petty thieves.

Jennifer Swimmer Poole Spikes I need some tax/legal advice ASAP. If ANYONE can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I need to get wood and storage bins (and someone to help me put them up in the garage) so I can organize the clothing. I have an EIN number & am in the process of getting my 501(c)3 and corporation, Walmart/Target wont donate storae... bins until I have TAX ID number. Can I use this EIN number before receiving 501(c)3? The're are so many in need and I really need to get the clothes organized this weekend to be able to respond to requests I have thus far! Thanks!

@Leslie Where do you think the grant money comes from? A Grant Money Tree?

Get real, it is tax payer money. The Transit Station is nearly useless. It has very limited parking, in it not properly positioned for easy access to and from Freeways or the existing Commuter railway station. No one has there 100 Million dollars it will take to bring commuter trains to the downtown are. The required rebuilding of the tracks and signal system from Lathrop up the old Altamont line and buying the land and building almost 3/4 of a mile of new track will cost several hundreds of millions of dollars.

I am not saying the City doesn't need a centralized transit hub. But the location on 6th street was a rather poor choice. The cost is not out weighed by supposed benefit to the public or taxpayers.... See More
