          • Dee Ann Barber, West side

          I was saddened to read about the planned closure of Cavett Elementary school. To me, it is symbolic of how our State legislature has worked diligently to undermine the public school system.

            Political strategists are preparing their explanations for what the results of the midterm elections will mean. Depending on who wins, we'll hear that voters have embraced one party's agenda, rejected the other's ideology, or delivered a mandate for a new direction.

                The most important outcome in the midterm elections may not be whether Democrats or Republicans come out on top. It may be whether both parties accept the results.

                              Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the Arizona Daily Star

                              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.
