Vote recommendation

Why is it that every time working people get squeezed with higher utility rates, higher taxes and higher inflation only Republicans seem outspoken against it? Could it be that if you are a Democrat voter you are more likely to work for a government agency and have received a raise, funded by taxpayers in the private sector? If you are a Democrat why would you care if your house taxes or water rates go up? Democrats are the vast majority of the ranks of municipal workers or civil servants that receive their wage increases from these same rate hikes. Could it be that if you are a ...

Observation

EDITOR: When asked by one of his parishioners why we should love our enemies, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is said to have answered that we must do so because anger begets anger, hate begets hate, and violence is always returned with violence for, as it says in the Letter to the Galatians, you will reap what you sow. Recently, Donald Trump was injured when the bullet of a would-be assassin creased his ear, bloodying him. Tragically, several of those attending the rally where he was speaking were seriously injured and one of his supporters was killed. Mr. Trump has trafficked in hate ...

Letter response

EDITOR: I just read Nino Green’s 7-31 letter concerning his displeasure with some of Donald Trump’s words. Well let’s examine some of the things that Trump has not said or done. He has never said “I support open borders” or “The border is secure”. He never took resources from the VA and used them for migrants.

Never released four cop beaters from a NYC jail with no bond. Trump never closed my church, took away my ...

Voting

EDITOR: Trump said: “[It] will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.” GOP Governor Chris Sununu says “I think he was just trying to make the point that this stuff can be fixed. Obviously, we want everybody to vote in all elections, but I think he was just trying to make a hyperbolic point that it can be fixed if he gets back into office and all that. GOP Senator Tom Cotton says: “I think he’s obviously making a joke about how bad things have been under Joe Biden, and how good they’ll be if we send ...

Candidate endorsement

EDITOR: I served on the Delta County Board of Commissioners with Commissioner John Malnor and support him for re-election in the upcoming election. Mr. Malnor has integrity and always has and will continue to put the best interests of the county as his main objective in serving this county. He puts a lot of time into performing his duties and attends many meetings to gather information on current issues within this county. He does his homework and comes to meetings well informed before making important decisions that affect everyone in this county. He is honest and has lived in ...

Lingering

EDITOR: David Moyle promised us at a board meeting that if the people did not want him, he would be gone like flatulence in the wind. Well, David Moyle can not seem to keep his promises. He was voted out and rather than blow away with the wind, he is lingering like flatulence in church, and he is forcing us all to sit in his pew. Andrea Nummilien Rock
