We should be proud

We should be proud

To the editor: I was on a work call recently where regional child wellness agencies described services provided families and parents who face challenging behaviors with and/or who have questions about their young child’s development. All agree that the earlier a child’s developmental delays are identified, the more effective the interventions can be and the greater likelihood of having a healthy child, ready to handle kindergarten, and other emotional and social issues. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Lived experiences matter

Lived experiences matter

To the editor: Recent letters to the editor offered “evidence” to convince us that the Biden economy is strong. Now if only the American people could be convinced! What really matters is our lived experience. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Roll back 2017 tax cuts

Roll back 2017 tax cuts

To the editor: I am no expert on tax policy, but I can read. Massive, permanent tax cuts in the last 25 years have caused a dramatic increase in the national debt by reducing the amount of money the government collects to conduct its business. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Biden faces trouble in reelection effort

“We’ve got trouble.” “Right here in River City.” “Trouble with a capital T.” “And that rhymes with B.” “And that stands for Biden.” With apologies to Meredith Wilson of Music Man fame, substitute White House for River City and you have a poignant description of the trouble the sitting president is having trying to nail down four more years. In Michigan the Donald, for the first time in years, has an eight-point lead which is well beyond the margin of error and about the only good thing the Biden camp can profess is that the election is not happening right now. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Pregnant women not safe

Pregnant women not safe

To the editor: Easy answers to complex problems invite unintended, often dangerous unforeseen consequences. Simple solutions are inappropriate for most social issues, which are complex, often ambiguous, and require nuanced consideration. 01/10/2024 03:45 PM

Shining light on January 6

Shining light on January 6

To the editor: For Christians, January 6th marks The Epiphany, when light pierced darkness revealing the Christ Child to the Gentiles. Every four years, our democracy shines its light through the peaceful transition of power. 01/10/2024 03:45 PM

Stable democracy threatened

Stable democracy threatened

To the editor: A new political party, No Labels, has emerged and has the potential to be a spoiler in the 2024 Presidential election. Their stratagem is a divisive and hazardous gambit jeopardizing America’s future. 01/10/2024 03:45 PM
