For those of you who want to know how this is proceeding, here is a copy of a letter I emailed to the two top people in charge of the Enterprise-Record on this issue: Mr. Jim Gleim, Publisher, and Mr. Mazi Kavoosi, Vice-President of Circulation. 

Friday, September 14, 2018, 6:17 AM

Mr. Kavoosi,

As I have continued to survey neighbor's attitudes about receiving the "Market Value Place" I have heard one request that stands above all others. Will you please prominently display on this paper at least two methods of how to get removed from its circulation list?

For example, "To STOP Market Value Place from coming to your home, you can either call Enterprise-Record at 891-1234 and press 2 to get to the circulation department OR you can email Clint Royer at croyer@chicoer.com. If emailing, please include your name and address and city."

A significant number of people have signed a petition asking you to stop the paper altogether unless people specifically request it, an "opt in" policy rather than an "opt out" policy.

My opinion is that perhaps 75-80% of people do not want to receive the MVP, but I have been surprised by the number of people, particularly in Paradise, who have expressed appreciation for the paper.

Here is a link to read the petition and to see the number of people who have signed it in just the last couple days.

I regret our unfortunate recent conversation on the phone, but I want to assure you I am a reasonable man. Again, I am surprised by a number of people, particularly in Paradise, who have expressed appreciation for the MVP.

It's not my desire to destroy anything in this world including your paper. It is my desire only to see resources, especially natural resources, used properly and responsibly. It is my desire to see your advertisers get their money's worth by reaching the people who want to be reached and avoiding the people who aren't interested and even resent receiving unwanted ads which litters their driveways.

I hope we can continue to communicate as our neighbors continue to express their thoughts and feelings on this matter.

Sincerely,

Brian Anthony Kraemer
