    Happy April 1 to you too. Stealth-High Schoolers? Well, they’re smarter than our Council members, why not?

    Hooray for KHTS. I love the Gail Ortiz quote “The phone survey is just so we can gauge initial reaction. From what I can tell you, so far most Santa Clarita residents have no problem with it.”

    Surely, spending public funds for bilingual signs is just another April Fool’s prank, right?

    The cross valley connector as a toll road? No way. That would be a disaster, me thinks. Most would avoid it. Horrible idea.

    You all really need to read to the end of the articles cited. The stories on KHTS re: the bilingual signs and cross valley connector were jokes.
