          Letter: The Price of Gas

            A lot of the Democrat commercials refer to the cost of living and how the candidate will make prices the highest priority, but, claiming they oppose Pres Trump's war with Iran. Perhaps it is just a matter of not understanding the purpose of the war with Iran. First, Iran is the biggest suppo…

            Letter: More Trump miracles

The first reaction is a willingness to believe based on rankings in previous years. Everyone in Tucson pays taxes that contribute to the education department and TUSD. Almost ever…

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

                        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.
