Here is a comment that deserves front page attention. It was received in our article “honoring Veterans” by Tina. I hope you like it as much as I did, it is certainly right on the mark. Here we go:
From Mijo. . .
Tuesday March 30th is CA Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. Cynically, I wonder if it is out of sincere regret for the way those vet were treated when they came home or if finally the despicable way those vets were treated has become politically unpalatable for the people that did so and still hold or aspire to offices? Locally the Butte County Board of Supervisors is giving a proclamation to local vets. Will it be Vietnam Vet Board Chair Bill Connelly that presents the proclamation? Or anti-war protester Jane Dolan known for some infamous acts of protest in Chico during that war? Dolan first won her seat in 1978 with the help and direct involvement of Tom Haydon and Jane Fonda, including local appearances in support of her campaign. Dolan was a member of Haydon’s “campaign for economic democracy” had CED staffer Bob Mulholland running her campaign. She may be the last of the CED to still be holding office, certainly she is the last of the Butte County CED.
