Local opinion: Pope Leo doesn’t like Trump’s war

  • Jerry Wilkerson Special to the Arizona Daily Star

America and the world are being driven by the obsession of a pathetic man who believes that power and money matter more than country and democracy.

    Local opinion: TEP is an existential threat to Tucson

    • Lee Stanfield Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    TEP is a for-profit monopoly owned by a Canadian corporation with major investors who don't live here, so the millions in profits we send them annually is a massive wealth drain on Tucson.

    Do I wish there would have been better planning, explaining and coalition-building by this administration? Absolutely. But I am resolutely opposed to not considering the long-term safety of this country and civilization.

      After measles outbreak, why are feds keeping Texans in the dark? | Dallas Morning News

        For the second time in two years, Texas is experiencing a significant measles outbreak. But unlike last year’s outbreak in the South Plains, little information is available about the new surge because it erupted at a privately operated federal detention center — and company officials aren’t talking.

                    Local opinion: TEP is committed to ensuring that data centers support energy affordability

                      There is no secret deal, no special discount, and no “blended” rate that shifts costs onto others. Under Arizona law, utilities cannot invent rates on the side or quietly move customers onto unapproved pricing.

                        A pediatrician: undergraduate 4-year college degree, four years of medical school, three years of pediatric residency, and can spend two to six years subspecializing. That’s 11-15 years of pediatric preparation.

                          We encourage those who believe Trump is leading our nation in the wrong direction to join one of several peaceful No Kings 3 protests Saturday in Tucson.
