Letter: Happy holidays to all

December 19, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

If you consider yourself an American, what makes you an American? If you want to have freedom what do you consider freedom? Why let politicians decide what is right for you? They want to control what you do socially. They want to decide what you read and study in schools.… Read story

Letter: Armament industry profits from war

December 18, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Thanks for printing Marc Thiessen’s column (“The secret of Ukraine aid,” The Columbian, Dec. 9) from The Washington Post. It uncovers the mystery of the Ukrainian stalemate war.

Letter: City needs inclusionary zoning

December 16, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Despite a fair amount of new construction in the downtown and uptown areas, it is clear that the city is still in need of much more affordable housing. The current financial incentives to builders in the form of tax rebates have yielded some results, but more is needed. The city… Read story

Letter: Choose youth coaches carefully

December 16, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I wanted to bring awareness to those who have any association with youth sports about the harm that can occur by not being mindful about who we give the power to shape young minds. I can confidently say that sports have shaped who I am and how I see the… Read story

December 16, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Mr. Temple and his associates (“Local railroad remains diligent,” Our Readers’ Views, Nov. 24) would like the public to believe that this issue is about whether there was a stream or no stream, dead fish, or no fish, logging road, or new road, wetlands, or whatever he wants it to… Read story

December 16, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Hamas is continuing a millennia-old war, not just decades. Hamas stems from family of Ishmael; Israel stems from family of Isaac. Read story

WSDOT has sent mailers to Clark County residents announcing the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Northeast Creek Road and Highway 503. The flyer does not seek input from users but states project approval and construction starting in spring 2024. Read story

Letter: Safe at home

December 16, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I read about the “decline” of Oregon in your editorial (“Addressing Portland’s problems will reverberate,” In Our View, Dec. 13), then saw an article about broken windows in Uptown Village (“Vancouver businesses’ windows broken during spate of vandalism,” The Columbian, Dec. 12). Read story

Letter: Traffic improvements benefit all

December 15, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

In the last month alone, two senior citizen pedestrians have been struck and killed in Clark County. Hearing some of recent criticism of the city’s efforts to improve safety on McGillivray for pedestrians, cyclists, and wheelchair users has been really disappointing. Repurposing a lane is for the safety of everyone.… Read story
