Who speaks for us in the House?
This fiscal cliff vote that happened on New Year’s Day — who the heck was representing the Imperial Valley? With Bob Filner gone, where was Juan Vargas? Didn’t he win the election to fill the seat?

Vista Latina: Hispanic population continues to grow in Imperial County while other demographics decline
Staff WriterAs a child, Juan Ulloa saw differences in how people thought of themselves based on their situations in life.

Our View: Supermajority needs to be watched

INKED! Secession is empty rhetoric, treasonous talk

From the Right: Right was run right out of town
You don’t have to hit me over the head with a 2 by 4. OK, you’re right, you usually do. Consider myself bludgeoned. The election last week was nothing short of a good old-fashioned whipping. Both across the nation and in this once-great...

INKED! Obomney means the longest rain check ever
