Opinion: Get off the sidelines

I am sick of reading letters from a couple individuals in the Idyllwild area who do nothing but complain about everyone else. I see it from the opposite side of the fence.

The tour served to answer questions about the physical makeup and location on the site of the proposed center. However, it also raised questions about the present and long-term relationship between...
