Healthcare forums are information, and your publication should be involved in reporting these.

Healthcare is nonpartisan and affects all citizens of the county. Absolutely a financial concern to all. Regardless of politics all points of view are valid, certainly not shared by all, yet knowledge is power, and we all have a responsibility to hear “all” to make our own decisions based on the information.

Closing ears and eyes and not covering these forums helps no one; therefore, I hope that the policy at the Acorn will change and your future presence be noted.

The Simi Valley Acorn promoted a memorial for 25 Metrolink train victims, where the proper place for remembrance is called a “graveyard.”

Those families will sadly never overcome the tragedy, but the memorial at the train platform is just a waste of taxpayer money; somehow your paper deemed that to be more important than covering issues of the living. Richard Nimms Simi Valley
