VIEW: Mexico’s paradox of reform —Jorge Castañeda Sometimes no reform is better than the wrong type of reform. That seems to be the case in Mexico, which recently passed new tax and electoral laws — but not the ones the country needs. While tax reform was high on President Felipe Calderón’s agenda during last year’s presidential campaign, electoral reform was not…

Congratulations on the birth of "Jaltemba Sol"! There's little doubt that under your loving care, it will grow to eclipse Jaltemba Express. Jerry Aschenbrenner The Birth Of A New Era In Journalism Keep Up The Tremendous Work You Are Both Putting In Daily. Love The Name. Many Thanks Eric – Mission BC
Hola Dot y Bill, Marty and I really like your new name - even better than the original name! Keep up the good work. Muchos saludos, Ken and Marty Gerstein
PROBLEMAS ACCESSING THE JALTEMBA SOL Good morning, Hope all is well in paradise. We are progressing here, as well. Dot, for some reason, I am no longer getting the Express. I got my last one when Larry and Kate were here, and I miss it. Will you please re-subscribe me. I love the paper? Thanks, Carol and Harold
(Editors Note: Yes we have had great difficulty sending the Express...er...Sol for a couple of reasons. The paperboys' computer system died and we had to take it to Guadalajara. This left our subscription list in a mess. The second problem is that our (former) name was hijacked. We are now called the Jaltemba Sol. Adding to the problem is that many people have their computer security systems on High. Some browsers will see that an email has been sent to a hundred paper routes at one time and simply place our community newspaper in the bulk or even the trash bin... We will re-subscribe you but we ask that when you get the new Jaltemba Sol, you bookmark it on your browser. Every new newspaper replaces the old and it will remain at this location on the web.)
Hola From Patty Hola: Bill and Dorothy It is good to know the news from La Peñita and thanks for sending me the Jaltemba Sol. I still on my vacation, but with your news I fell like I was still there. Well I only want to say Hello....and of course you have a great time and fun.... Hugs... Patty Hueso Hinde & Jaimes

Lurking the Boards – San Pancho Watch – by Dorothy Bell I admit that lurking the various community boards has become a habit as I cruise for news in our area. I love to see what’s going on in the communities and reading the boards daily you get a feel for the issues and concerns of the residents. I like the San Pancho board a lot because it has attitude. It talks about real issues and people get angry over important ideas. Development issues are alive and well debated in San Pancho. It gives me heart to hear that people are concerned about water issues and want to do something about it. Some focus on the notion that the ordinary working Mexicans should be able to own (read afford) property in their own home pueblo; an almost unique cry from the wilderness on this now super-hyped RIVIERA Nayarit Coast where development is king. I especially like that people care about their community and want to maintain the culture and customs of Mexico and the village. I have shamelessly reprinted some comments from a poster called Tamara. “Everyone will be arriving soon and it is time to ask ourselves what we can do, individually and collectively, to be a part of San Pancho. The San Pancho Board, Tamara and other posters give us plenty of room for thought about the kind of footprints we leave in our new adopted homes. See San Pancho Message Board here.
