You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. With the disappearance of local newspapers covering Martinez, I created this newsletter to keep residents informed about issues affecting their quality of life and the health and future of our community. Since it was launched in September of 2022, Martinez News and Views has covered the election of the city’s first new mayor in 20 years; the issues at the Martinez Refining Co.; the city’s staffing challenges at City Hall and in the Police Department; the future of the waterfront and marina; the effort to craft a new long-term housing plan; the challenges facing the Martinez Unified School District; and more.
