    Local opinion: Protect Education Act petitions and your tax dollars

    • Patricia Woodbury-Kuvik Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    A letter argues that Arizona’s Protect Education Act would not eliminate ESA vouchers, but instead add accountability and oversight to a program that has expanded far beyond its original purpose of serving students with disabilities.

      Letter: The deportation shell game

      • Suzanne Ferguson, East side

      Reading the reports of huge new warehouses being bought for renovation for “millions” of illegal immigrants, I set out to discover how many have actually been deported since January 2025. Not millions: by the DHS’s own figures, there may have been 605,000 deported in 2025—but that may includ…

      Letter: A champion

      Letter: A champion

      • Ron Lancaster, North side

      Cruelty has a new champion. Donald Trump has proven worthy of the title. He looks under every stone to find ways to create trouble and suffering for the least of us. He is making his mark on the world with his hateful grimace and hard heart.

      Letter: Lying about a election

      Letter: Lying about a election

      • David Morales, Northwest side

      Why do people lie? It is simple to hide something that will hurt them, and for many other reasons. So why did President Trump say he won the election of 2020 presidential election. Albeit he lost the election. He claims the election was stolen from him; albeit the courts say different. This …

      Letter: What's Changed??

      • William Lauffer, Oro Valley

      All of a sudden Donald Trump needs congressional approval to reduce the federal gas tax to help the American public with the continued increases caused by his war in Iran. By the way did he seek Congressional approval to start this war and cost our country over twenty five billion dollars. H…

              Letter: Lunch in the ballroom

                America is a strange land where school lunches are considered socialism but a taxpayer funded billion dollar ballroom is patriotism.

                Letter: Think Scandinavian

                Letter: Think Scandinavian

                  George Will had a pointed column on 05/13 about today's youth, their education, the jobs they take what they find the workplace and how they feel about all this. He ends his piece equating socialism with infantilism.

                  Letter: Pumping oil markets instead of oil

                    Numerous publications are following oil futures as the war with Iran proceeds. They’ve noted significant activity in the market just before Trump makes announcements about the status of negotiations or conflict – a sign of insider trading. These insiders have gotten hundreds of millions of d…

                    Letter: Respect life from womb to tomb

                      I greatly thank the writer of the 5/14 LTE titled "Abortion, a man's opinion" for sharing their opinion on abortion. My pro-life position is not about trying to "control" women, but rather about protecting both the mother and her unborn child from the cruelty that is abortion. Others say men…

                      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.

                      Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                      The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.
