HOMETOWN STATION
— OUTSTANDING: Republicans Of Santa Clarita To Host Fourth Of July Parade – Louie Diaz
(DIERSEN: When will the Daily Herald a) report on the great success that Glen Ellyn had in getting sponsors for its Independence Day Parade and Fireworks (SEE: https://www.glenellyn4thofjuly.org/sponsors ) and b) report on Wheaton’s refusing to let Republicans help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day and Fireworks? Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton Independence Day Parades and Fireworks since 2005, but Democrats have not. Will Democrats succeed in getting Wheaton to ban partisan sponsorship, that is, to ban Republican sponsorship, of its 2022 and future Independence Day Parades and Fireworks?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After hearing that the City of Santa Clarita’s main Fourth of July Parade was going to be canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Republicans of Santa Clarita are doing what they can to still bring patriotism to the Santa Clarita Valley, said Mark Hershey, a member of the group and a 50-year resident and retired Sheriff’s Deputy of Santa Clarita. “We are participating in the parade this year, and we are wanting to get like-minded people who love the country and love the City to join this parade,” Hershey said.)
