To the editor: The federal government is importing scab labor to suppress wages of working Americans. It is obvious big corporations and the wealthy don’t want to pay a living wage. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

To the editor: I must add my voice to the commotion recently regarding the addition of 4 more miles to the existing 22-mile Heritage Trail that extends from Empire to Good Harbor Bay at Bohemian Rd. To add additional four miles (predicted to cost a minimum of $10 million) at a cost exceeding that of the existing 22 miles is, first of all, a lot of money. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

‘Guardrails’ not to be trusted
‘Guardrails’ not to be trusted
To the editor: In his 12/28/23 letter to the editor, David Edelstein utilizes his observation that “guardrails” have been applied to free speech as justification for limits that should also be applied to our right to bear arms. I appreciate his comparison, which undermines his point. 01/10/2024 03:45 PM

To the editor: These past few years have revealed turmoil in our county government in terms of direction and management. This past week, an outside consultant hired by the Board of Commissioners reported on his findings after talking with / hearing from 75% of the employees. 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

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

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
