Editor,
Thanks for the good coverage of Thursday’s Good Trouble March in honor of Congressman Joe Lewis.
I’d like to give a shout out to the San Mateo Police Department for their support in keeping the march safe for all.
The chief of police proactively asked march organizers if any help was needed and then provided traffic officers to help everyone safely navigate the State Route 92 interchange.
We are fortunate to have such excellent, professional and community focused policing.
Many thanks to all who serve in the department.
Norma Formanek

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Formanek, although I don’t know who this Joe Lewis is you reference. Regardless, I’d be interested in knowing whether march organizers paid for the cost of community policing that took away police who could have been doing their “real” job serving the community instead of babysitting a march which didn’t accomplish anything, except waste taxpayer money (assuming march organizers didn’t pay for anything) and inconvenience folks from using the SR92 interchange (and possibly, the entire march route).
Ed Barberini is a peach of a police chief. Maybe the next sheriff? The City of San Mateo's loss would be the County of San Mateo's gain.
