We occasionally receive a reader response that does not specifically indicate it is acceptable to publish the response. In such a case, we all read the response but cannot publish it.

If you decide to comment and want your comments considered for publication, be sure to provide an email address or phone number and check the box indicating your response can be made public. We will work with you to help improve grammar and presentation to make your submission more readable, if needed.

We sometimes receive letters for publication that are hard to understand and with few substantive points. These letters do not add to a factual discussion of an issue, and, in most cases, they won’t be published. The author will be contacted and encouraged to rewrite the submission to strengthen his or her arguments.

The purpose of the Newsblog is to bring issues to light that affect Mission Viejo residents and to share informed opinion on the foibles of our elected officials. Often, those who support a particular official become quite exorcised over having their favorite person's failings discussed. However, if there is a case where a factual error has been made and you can prove it with objective evidence, then please let us know. We will publish a correction immediately after the facts have been confirmed.
