Letters to the Editor

Too much time on two issues

EDITOR: You ever wonder why people get jaded and frustrated in regards to government? Take our city council - please. Between the North Shore Development and the legal pot sales, these people couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag with contacting two lawyers, several consultants and they, the council, wonders why their meetings are not better attended. I would not be able to keep my mouth shut. I was president of, and ran a board of directors in Waikiki. When the board had a consensus, we moved forward. A consensus/majority didn't always make everyone happy. We rarely went ...

Candidate support

EDITOR: In the August primary election I am endorsing the following candidates for the Delta County Board of Commissioners, Bob Barron, Dave Moyle, and John Denholm. They are real advocates of private property rights and fair treatment of all Delta County residents. In the race for the 108 District House seat Dave Prestin is a person with strong U.P. values that would represent our concerns and fight for the U.P. and what our values are.
