                              A note to readers

                              To our readers:

                              The Arizona Daily Star’s opinion section aims to foster healthy engagement and debate on the best paths forward for Tucson. Here’s how you can be a part of it.

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

                              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

                              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.

                              Local opinion: The First Amendment power of showing up

                              The First Amendment’s right to peaceful assembly gives Americans the power to show up, build community and protect democracy through lawful, nonviolent action.

                              David Hoffmann: A better chorus for the communities we serve

                              In my first column last month, I told you where I’m coming from — both personally and geographically — as chairman of the board of Lee Enterprises, the parent company of your local newspaper.

                              Talent isn't the problem for rural students. Access is | Kirsten Lane

                              As high school seniors gear up for the hustle and grind of the college admissions process, the experience can be different for students in rural and urban area.

                              Banks in the U.S. have plenty to celebrate these days, from record profits and higher stock prices to a strong economy and easier regulation. One thing they don’t need is an added discount on their deposit insurance — a crucial buffer that should be reinforced when times are good.

                              Trump continues to talk about dealing with Iran “after the elections.” Here’s my fear: There will be no midterm elections. Trump will find a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act, then federalize the National Guard and deploy it, along with the FBI and ICE, to block access to the polls. The…
