Todd Gloria
Dear Editor,
I shudder at the thought of Todd Gloria becoming president of the City Council. In the 31 years that I’ve lived in San Diego, it’s quite possible that Todd Gloria is the worst Third District Councilmember we’ve ever had.
He does not return phone calls, he does not answer letters and he does not attend meetings pertinent to the people in this district. I’m just sorry that we are stuck with him till the next election.

In support of Auntie Helen’s
Dear Editor,
I’m Sister Nora Torious 13 of the San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
I was asked tonight by Nicole how I felt that the Sisters supported Auntie Helen’s in “The Sisters take over Auntie Helen’s” despite the allegations of how they spent their funds?
And I will say, she asked me when I was not in the best state, after some personal family drama, so I asked her, “Not now” but she insisted, which I would describe as an attack!
So here is my answer: “I am proud to support Auntie Helen’s, as they usually make $100 for the day, but as the Sisters took over and raised over $700 on Sunday December 16.
So many people said how much Auntie Helen’s helped them, including me. When I had two broken elbows, they helped me with laundry services, as a special favor.
You see, I support Auntie Helen’s just as we have supported the “Court”, because it’s not about the political issues, it’s about the people the organizations help. No matter what any organization is dragged through the mud over, it’s “are you ready,” the people they help.
And I am not in this for any political gain. I just want to raise money for my community and the people who need the funds. They depend on it!
Auntie Helen’s may have had hard times, but I as a Sister am here to make their mission possible. Because I took vows to do so!
So Nicole, you may think we are not “politically correct” and we don’t want to be! But we do help our community be a better place.
Again, and get this straight, it’s not about the Sisters, or the Court, it’s about the community and the people who need the services.
Thank you again, Nicole, for being totally inappropriate and showing up at a “Member of the Court Celebration of Life” to ask me this question. You see, I was at this person’s bedside as requested holding his hand as he lay dying. I did so, because he asked for the Sisters to be there. Again, it’s what I got on my knees and promised to do!

PS: I hate to be so blunt, but you asked. So here is your answer … helping everyone without judgment! Can you say the same?
