Notable history

In 1994, the Evergreen Times was named in a story that spread across the United States when a video surfaced of a San Jose Councilwoman making racist and homophobic remarks. The paper's former editor, Bill Stubbee, said that "we do not feel it is enough of an issue to recall someone.[7]

In 2000, the paper was accused by a city Councilwoman of censoring an op-ed that she penned for the paper.[8] The paper had omitted a line in the op-ed in which the Councilwoman, Alice Woody, had expressed her support for a specific candidate to replace her on the Council. Bill Stubbee argued that he removed the sentence because it violated his rule that the newspaper columns not endorse any candidate.
