Laura Ruelas: Loss of four Marines more important than local news
I am saddened, shocked and disappointed in the choice of Page 8A as placement for the story on the four Marines our country lost in Tennessee. The front-page news about a Patterson councilwoman being asked to resign could have been placed on any page under local news. The lives we lost in Tennessee were not accidental, they were planned by a home-grown terrorist, and these four people deserve front-page coverage and our respect.
God bless their families and may they rest in peace. Shame on The Bee for this poor decision in news reporting.
Laura Ruelas, Hughson
