Instead of Proposition 414, our city needs a more financially prudent proposal that makes provisions for the needs of our fire and police services, but not to the detriment of housing and shelter.
Proposition 414 gives us the tools to continue to prepare, protect, and strengthen our city for the future.
Prop 414 would place a burden on everyone who spends money in the City of Tucson, weaken our economic competitiveness, and make it harder for small businesses to succeed.
Trump’s nomination of Mr. Kennedy for secretary of HHS is a blow to science. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine activist, science denialist and conspiracy theorist whose fringe beliefs and lies have caused significant health damage.
Instead of Proposition 414, our city needs a more financially prudent proposal that makes provisions for the needs of our fire and police services, but not to the detriment of housing and shelter.
If you want the answer to this question, don’t look for it in the Daily Star. DOGE started by plucking low-hanging fruit, the USAID an agency with a "minuscule" budget of $40B a year and 10,000 employees. In the last two-week firestorm all AP reports only extol the good work of USAID, and in…
The Mad King and his co-president Elon Musk who with 6 tech kids, (one barely out of high school) is accessing all our personal data via the Treasury’s payments system). Mad King is trying to break Hitler’s record of bringing down a democracy in 53 days.
Does Elon Musk have the proper security clearances for access to agency personnel records and government payment systems? Of course he does.
"Our Children School Safety Program" is a disaster waiting to happen. Teachers in K-12 are best utilized teaching. Making them active armed participants in a possible school shooting opens up the possibility of them spraying bullets hitting children and faculty and getting in the way of trai…
The idea that arming our school teachers will make schools safer makes about as much sense as believing that more nuclear weapons will make the world safer.

Steller is right on. The Star should invite each of those office holders to hold a town hall in Tucson to take questions about the subject of the column.
As long as Trump is looking for creative solutions to the destruction of Gaza and the resettlement of its people, here is one to consider:
A recent book mentioned Washington's original 73-page address to Congress. He was persuaded to give a much shorter version, but he mentioned one thing that really stands out, "Corruption." President Washington could not miss the opportunity to put everyone on notice that patronage and nepoti…
Yesterday, five bike riders, me included, successfully evaded a red-light runner at Treat and Speedway. Today, I was walking when two riders barely avoided another red-light runner at 3rd and Country Club.
It is time to act. Donald Trump and his billionaire henchmen want to freeze funds going to programs such as school breakfasts and lunches, supplemental nutrition for mothers and children, Head Start, and other programs that directly impact our poorest people.
So now Trump wants the U.S. to take over Gaza, move Palestinians out and rebuild it, no doubt using Trump construction labor. So here's a win-win solution to this problem. Relocate the displaced Gazans to the U.S. with temporary work visas to replace the deported migrants whose jobs have bee…
Re: Your recent brief letter ("When Democrats say that Republicans are a threat to our fragile democracy what they really mean is that we are a threat to their bloated bureaucracy.") I respectfully disagree. Democracy is threatened when the administration refuses to release funds appropriate…
To our readers:
U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour is not known for mincing words.
Why is Congress protecting untraceable weapons?

In Washington, the hardest thing to kill is a bad idea. And one of the worst will soon be back: The so-called Credit Card Competition Act.
The American people suffered through several years of high inflation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, which temporarily closed manufacturing plants and clogged supply chains. But there's a hidden contributor to the high prices we all pay on everything from furniture to eggs: credit card swipe fees.
Proposition 414 gives us the tools to continue to prepare, protect, and strengthen our city for the future.
