At times it is hard to believe – here we are starting a New Year. 2012 holds much promise as it appears the economic strain that we have all been living under is slowly easing, there is a bit of relief as we look forward to better days that each New Year promises. This is why we all say Prospero Año Nueva or Happy New Year.

DA’s office needs to get their priorities in orders

I am sure that Bonnie Dumanis and the D.A.’s office have their priorities. Remember Diana Gonzalez, the young Latina who was beaten and raped by her estranged husband? Because the D.A.’s office failed to file CRIMINAL charges against this monster, he eventually killed Diana when she was leaving her evening math class at City College. It’s been more than one year since this tragedy occured and the killer is still on the loose!
