San Jose Mercury News Advertising Information Newspaper Subscription Mercury News Newsletter Action Line has answered thousands of reader questions in its 30 years of existence. These answers are also available to readers via an automated telephone line. The Bar Association of California can assist with complaints against attorneys practicing in the state. Failure to respond to the State Bar can result in disbarment of the attorney. The Santa Clara County Boys and Girls Clubs accept old bikes and prefer them to be in good working order.
Minor repairs are possible, but the club is short on storage space.
The group accepts bikes of any type, says founder Marilyn Price. Since 1988, the group has served more than 4,000 kids in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the group has no South Bay donation point. But some potential donors are put off by the fact that those items are often resold for the benefit of the charity or business. To see if a new or used car dealer has violated any state laws, or to file a complaint, contact the DMV Investigations Unit.
