          Letter: Prop 421

          • Frank Montez, East side

          I did my due diligence. Read about Proposition 421. Read for and against. I am voting for proposition 421. This is finalized due to Kevin Dahl! Kevin Dahl is not in my city council district however he sent me a card praising my last letter to the editor. I have also read so many letters to t…

          Letter: 2026 ballot measures

          Letter: 2026 ballot measures

          • Stephen Yozwiak, Northwest side

          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.”

My ancestors have lived in the area since the 1850s. If not for my physical limitations, I would …

            Letter: More misleading ads

            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 …

                  Letter: Ciscomani Has Put in a Ton of Work for AZ-06!

                    A lot of people say this election will be a referendum on President Trump. I see it differently. To me, it’s about who has actually done the work for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District.

                        I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        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.
