Local opinion: Power from the pulpit: The pope, the president and Pete

  • Ronald F. Eustice Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Pope Leo offers hope for a troubled world. We can hope he speaks even louder and encourages bishops and priests to do likewise. Hopefully, they will have the courage to do so.

    The opportunity to attract travelers seeking nostalgia and scenic beauty as part of their trip through our part of the state is tremendous.

    Local opinion: Tucson has a rare opportunity to direct $56 million in community investment

    • MJ Watz Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    If Tucson wants to invest in a future that is sustainable, resilient, and community-driven, then those values need to be clearly and consistently articulated while decisions are still being shaped.

      Big Tech's ugly data centers finally meet the opposition | Froma Harrop

        It appears that folks living in the gently rolling farmland of southwestern Ohio don't want a 2 million-square-foot data center plopped down the road from their front porches. What's wrong with them? Are they snotty not-in-my-backyard liberals?

        Africa proves resilient after cut in US aid | Washington Post

                          TEP waves away criticism with public relations misdirection. If the utility wants public trust, it should stop dismissing legitimate questions about monopoly overearning, cross-subsidies, and stranded cost as “false narratives.”
