Letters to the Editor

Letter: Projects come with high impacts

December 7, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

This is in reply to Michael E. McGinley’s letter (“Freight railroad is best alternative,” Our Readers’ Views, Nov. 21). There is no quarry at Chelatchie Bluffs at present and a quarry should not be located there because of environmental impacts. The rock from this location is angular and will not… Read story

Letter: A stand-up candidate?

December 7, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Third District Republican congressional candidate Leslie Lewallen says she will stand up to destructive policies like open borders, high costs and lax sentencing, etc. Good luck with that. The Republicans have had a majority in Congress this year and have not addressed any of this. Read story

Letter: How to pay for immigrants?

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

Letter: Follow 10 Commandments

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

I wholeheartedly agree with Bob Mattila (“Becoming ungodly causes problems,” Our Readers’ Views, Nov. 24), and many others do, too, I would think. If only everyone in this nation simply followed the 10 Commandments all problems would be solved. Take the one true God of Abraham and Isaac out of… Read story

Letter: Don’t change railroad’s purpose

December 5, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A freight rail dependent use overlay along the railroad deeply concerns me. This “work around” for the regular process for rezoning excludes public outreach/input — perhaps its intention. Read story

Letter: Reject third-party candidates

December 5, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Jill Stein of the Green Party, among others, has announced her intention to run for president. Third-party candidates who claim to better “serve the people” are happy news to Donald Trump. Read story

Letter: Partisanship is on display

December 5, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Not much of a surprise, but I got an interesting sociological confirmation from a moving company agent the other day. Read story

Letter: Rethink changes on 34th Street

December 5, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I am writing concerning the city of Vancouver’s plan to reduce Southeast 34th Street from four lanes to two and add a “mobility lane.” While I appreciate the city’s efforts to prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety, sidewalks are already on both sides and there are unused bike lanes on Southeast… Read story
