Letters to the Editor

Letter: Rhetoric ignores real problems

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Eating pets and lowering taxes seems to be the major emphasis of political talk these days. Little is said about the real problems ahead — out-of-control debt and climate. These are the two conditions that will prove to be the most devastating — the forces that could change everything. Read story

Letter: Vote wisely for the people

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Isn’t it crazy how we have to fight our government? (“Challenging government is uphill legal battle” The Columbian, Sept. 21). It sure would be nice if we had a system that provided the people representation, with the authority to enforce transparent review and appropriate corrective action to problems reported by… Read story

Letter: Harris hasn’t earned vote

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Diana Stack Roberts needs to fact check herself (“Study facts about domestic terrorism,” Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 12). The “good people on both sides” lie taken out of context. That Biden and Harris as well as the media perpetuate this lie is deplorable. Read story

Letter: Golf course sale is questionable

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I am feeling some strong déjà vu lately. Mr. Medvigy reports that the Clark County Council has decided, in an executive session (not open to the public or the media), to sell off the last remaining public golf course in the county. He states that when the council is ready… Read story

Letter: Sensibility is at risk

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It’s another election year, which means it’s another year to pretend to care about the livelihood of the nation. As a 29-year-old, I’d like to thank all those older than my generation for creating this political landscape. All while blaming us for not wanting to play the game you all… Read story

Letter: Fix Confederate monuments

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

As some cities and states around the country continue to confront the issue of Confederate monuments, I believe there is a simple solution to this conflict. Instead of removing these statues, let’s enhance them by adding a hand resting on the figure’s shoulder. This gesture symbolizes respect, understanding, and forgiveness.… Read story

Letter: Reject Vance’s extremism

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A recent letter stated that the best way to create good governance is to question candidates. Apropos of that, it would be good to question JD Vance about his ties to billionaire Peter Thiel and tech bro Curtis Yarvin, both of whom are known to be friends and/or mentors to… Read story

Letter: Cease-fire needed in Gaza

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Thanks to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the war in Gaza continues without end in sight. The price? Over 40,000 dead Palestinians. According to a former commander of the Israeli military’s Gaza division, Netanyahu has failed to even contemplate a realistic alternative governing body in Gaza after the war ends.… Read story

Letter: Smart development is needed

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

We need more affordable housing in unincorporated Clark County. Read story

Letter: Preserve old-growth forests

September 25, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I am writing to urge the Forest Service to ban logging and development of Washington’s oldest trees on federal land. Some of Washington’s most iconic mature and old-growth forests are at risk of degradation despite standing on federal lands. Read story
