Letter: Brownley has been there for vets
Ventura County Star
After reading Mr. Nelson’s letter to the editor, I was disgusted.
Since Congresswoman Julia Brownley took office over eight years ago, she and her staff have worked for and on local veteran problems nonstop.
At the time Congresswoman Brownley took office, I was the President of the Vietnam Veterans of Ventura County (VVVC). I made it a point to meet with her and her staff to ensure that local veterans would have her support. As a result, I, along with other officers of the VVVC, have been the eyes and ears for the Congresswoman for local veterans as well as the care they were receiving at the Oxnard Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC).

(Office of Congresswoman Brownley (D-CA-25)) Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-CA) introduced the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act, legislation to incentivize the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and help the aviation sector reduce carbon emissions.
“We are facing an existential threat to the future of our planet. In order to face this threat head on, we must be creative, be innovative, and act quickly. We must do so wherever we can make a difference,”said Congresswoman Julia Brownley.“Sustainable aviation fuel is a key component to decarbonize the aviation industry, but we need to scale up production and distribution if we are to achieve our climate goals.”
Curtin Maritime to dredge the Port of Hueneme January 6, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District is beginning a dredging project at the Port of Hueneme main channel to maintain the proper channel depth.
According to the Army Corps, Curtin Maritime Corp. will dredge the main channel starting Jan. 5 with a projected completion date of March 27.
The contractor will be deepening the port’s federal navigation channels by dredging 385,000 total cubic yards of material. Deepening the harbor will accommodate Panama-sized vessels, which are currently unable to load to their maximum capacity.
Under the plan, approximately 360,000 cubic yards of dredged material will be used to replenish the beach to mitigate beach erosion, which is the most sand placed on and near the beach since 2009.
