Read more Letters to the Editor.Fairgrounds leadershiphas done a great jobRe: “Earthquakes to convert county fairgrounds” (Page B1, Dec. 7).The Mercury News article on the Earthquakes’ commitment to build eight soccer fields at the fairgrounds captured the support of elected officials — well and good. I would like to add that for many years the Fairgrounds Management Corporation (FMC) has been working to expand the impact and value of this county-owned land.Executive Director Abe Andrade and the board deserve recognition for their patient, persistent work with county and Earthquakes’ leadership that made this possible. Their contributions go beyond grounds enhancements and the recently expanded fair. After the county announced its COVID mandates, the FMC sidelined its public venue operations and transformed the fairgrounds into a major center for testing and inoculation.We have been well served … well served indeed.Ty Greav...

The divergence could be a decisive factor in whether the Democrat secures a second term next year. Republicans are seizing on the dissatisfaction to skewer Biden, while the White House is finding less success as it tries to highlight economic progress.“Things are getting better and people think things are going to get worse — and that’s the most dangerous piece of this,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who has worked with Biden. Lake said voters no longer want to just see inflation rates fall — rather, they want an outright decline in prices, something that last happened on a large scale during the Great Depression.&#...
