"Post Office Controversy"

Clippings from a two-page article by Dan Young from the Register Pajaronian that discusses the destruction of the 200 block on Main Street in downtown Watsonville where Filipino and other minority-owned businesses were located. The article states that the post office would be the only building to remain and all of the other properties would be overturned to the developer. Page two includes a photograph of the planning commissioner, Dana Sales. The photograph is by Kurt Ellison.
