      • Tom Money, Southeast side

      I woke up the other morning (thank the Lord) and found $90 in my bank account. It was from Social Security. I can’t imagine what that was all about. I certainly did not ask for it. I heard Joe Biden effed up. Again.

        Letter: 2026 ballot measures

        Letter: 2026 ballot measures

          In recent years, it’s been easy to recommend which statewide ballot referendums from the Arizona Legislature should pass or fail. Because of the special interests who often control the state House and Senate, it was easy to “Just Say No.”

          Letter: The grand old cottonwoods

          Letter: The grand old cottonwoods

            There have been many news articles and letters to the editor regarding the Lochiel cottonwoods, I was born and raised in the San Rafael Valley and lived in Lochiel the first 16 years if my life. My ancestors have lived in the area since the 1850s. If not for my physical limitations, I would …

                Letter: More misleading ads

                  The new misleading ads against Jo Mendoza are almost funny. Supposedly she wants to tax everything from diapers to popcorn. The legislature decides what to tax (and sales taxes cover most everything). If you want to be angry you must be angry against them all. It is said she wants to pay for…

                  Letter: Hospital stay

                    As a patient at the Tucson VA hospital it was by chance that Congressman Ciscomani heard of my delay in getting care. He immediately instructed his staff to get it resolved for my urgent assistance in getting my needed care. It was handled within an hour and I was transfered the next day. He…

                      Juan Ciscomani claims he's no rubber stamp. Odd claim from someone who voted 100% of the time for the Trump agenda. Interest on the national debt is now 19% of all taxes collected. Juan where do you intend to cut costs and raise revenue? Or do nothing and let the dollar collapse? So far you …

                      A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
