Regarding Mr Will's commentary on Sen Paul's efforts to do something about the national deficit: They are absolutely correct in that something needs to be done before a calamity happens. With Sen Paul's solution I fear balancing the budget will come on the backs of the poor. Not to mention h…

In an earlier letter I wrote that Cesar Chavez be remembered for his historical accomplishments and not his foibles suggesting retaining signs and monuments in his honor. While Cesar was born in Yuma his achievements were in California and I also boycotted lettuce back then.

" 'Blindness abounds' with mayor, council. The Mayor and City Council need to open their collective eyes to see the effect of their policies playing out in the streets and neighborhoods within city limits." The writer needs to share his solutions to the problem found in Las Vegas, the money …

On May 5 Trump ordered the start of Project Freedom, which was to have US military ships guide oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. He called this the “greatest military move in history.” He is putting his order on par with Hannibal crossing the Alps, Washington crossing the Delaware, D…

A common comment about the AZ voucher program is that “money moves with the student”. This is only partially correct. If a student moves from the public system to a private school, the voucher allocation is based on the amount the state pays for a charter school student, which is higher than…
Given all of the ills that Mr. Dowdall assigns to the Democratic Party, I look forward to hiss next LTE in which he mentions all the great things that Trump and his administration are doing for our country.
By requiring performance-based ratemaking, some states have declared war against high electric bills. But Arizona's Republican Legislature and Corporation Commission (ACC) have declared war against our cheapest, most price stable, abundant energy source, to make it harder to develop solar an…
Has anyone else noticed that the Department of Justice(DOJ) has been turned into a "Toady" for the current administration?? It seems that they are investigating any and all of the man in office revenge subjects (most if not all democrats). I can only suspect that this will continue until thi…
An LTE (April 14) asked "Which is it?" regarding Iran. Our King claimed "we've won this war" (March 24) and the next day announced deployment of the 82nd Airborne. General Eisenhower didn't declare that we won WWII in Europe before deploying the 82nd Airborne the night before D-Day. We won a…
I recently found a quote from H. L. Mencken that is more apt today than it was many years ago. "As democracy is perfected the office of the president represents more and more closely the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hea…

I am glad I was not the only one who was upset with the lack of coverage of the Kentucky Derby. For years a list was in Sat. paper with a list of the horsed and riders. This year nothing. I hope you do better for the Preakness. Since start printing in Las Vegas, we get old news and now this.…
In as much as President Trump sees taxpayer money as his personal piggy bank, I feel that when he leaves office (or is removed, or impeached, etc.) that he be held accountable for any projects or expenses that enriched his family or anyone that personally benefitted from any of his polices. …
As our ruler's mental and physical health increasingly come into question, and with his appointing himself to be the world's police chief -- by which he conducts himself in a blundering manner -- it is things like these that put pride in the United States in a state of continuing decline, bo…
Trump’s favorite Congressman is Tucson’s very own Juan Ciscomani, Congressman “Duck, Dodge, and Hide.” A missing-person report should be filed by constituents for Ciscomani in AZ6. He’s never available because he only works for Trump, not for us!

Trump's favorite Rep.
I read with some dismay of congressional efforts to ban Chinese vehicles from entering the United States market. The concern is that allowing such vehicles in the US will harm American manufactures. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? If American consumers are given the c…

I recently read an article about how the rich and powerful are suing publications before they even print. Maybe it's just me, but if you file suit before even seeing the article aren't you basically saying you did something bad and you just don't want anyone to know about it? Sounds like an …
"Washington said Iran had not breached a fragile ceasefire" But Iran fired missiles at US ships on Monday and attacked the United Arab emirates. During the non-ceasefire the US military said it had destroyed six Iranian small boats as well as cruise missiles and drones. I realize that Trumps…
When I hear a police helicopter and/or police sirens where I am at, I need to know what is going on. Previously, I could pull up dispatch and learn if it was a threat to my safety. This gave me peace of mind. Now, that is no longer an option and it makes me feel unsafe.

To suggest that no amount of fraud occurs in the SNAP program is wrong. In the May 4th ADS article, State Senate Majority Leader John Kavanagh is quoted as saying he thinks the "...massive decrease is caused by the fact that we had massive fraud in the system." Mr. Kavanaugh offers an opinio…
