Are you as concerned about the skyrocketing costs of gas, groceries and basic goods as I am? Terrified you too will lose your health insurance in January? Disgusted by ICE arrests, killings, and deportations of US citizens to foreign countries?

I am trying to select whom I should vote for in the coming election. I keep seeing and hearing which candidate I should vote for according to what color or numbered propositions. I now miss the olde days of the Band wagon 50 feet from the voting booth and donuts and cigars were handed out. A…

I read with amusement the letters crying about the fact that TEP is owned by a Canadian firm that receives profits from their enterprises.

The consequences of elections give the voters exactly what they choose. That includes the selection of the school boards. For anyone wondering how well the choices in the school boards consider the results, ask Google about the Tucson Unified School District ranking and the result is disappo…

A recent political commercial, that appeared to be in support of a Democrat candidate, made a point of denigrating MAGA. It is hard to understand why. ‘Make American Great Again’ seems like a goal that every citizen should want and yet this dream is being used as a derogatory slur. Then agai…

This morning at an intersection on River Rd. four cars ran the red light after my light turned green. As usual, we have virtually no traffic enforcement to protect lawful drivers.

When Juan Ciscomani criticized the Homeland Security shutdown as "political," he dismissed 32 people who died in ICE detention last year and ICE's murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis with no subsequent accountability.

Here’s a Metro of ~1.2 million, that’s ~40-45% UN-incorporated, has zero crosstown freeways, a feckless 1-party County (& City) government autocracy overseeing multiple, five-figure population CDPs (census designated places) with million dollar neighborhoods on crumbling streets, squalid…
It is always fun to listen to political ads and what the liars want to say about the opposition. I saw a commercial that was trying attack Juan Ciscomani and the comment was that Juan voted against AI Controls for children in Arizona. Of course, the first consideration was that Juan Ciscoman…
If Juan Ciscomani were Pinocchio, his nose would stretch clear across the 6th congressional district. He promised to protect Medicaid, vulnerable adults and children. He promised to work to end the Iran war, support our Veterans, and promised to lower living costs,
Dear Mr. Ciscomani: A number of your campaign signs around town have messages aimed at less informed voters.
I woke up the other morning (thank the Lord) and found $90 in my bank account. It was from Social Security. I can’t imagine what that was all about. I certainly did not ask for it. I heard Joe Biden effed up. Again.
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…
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.”
There have been many news articles and letters to the editor regarding the Lochiel cottonwoods, I was born and raised in the San Rafael Valley and lived in Lochiel the first 16 years if my life. My ancestors have lived in the area since the 1850s. If not for my physical limitations, I would …
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 …
Amazing how the Arizona Daily Star was somehow able to publish a print edition the day after the Great Sonoran Earthquake in 1887, but not on Columbus Day/ Indigenous People's Day in 2026!
As a 40 year subscriber to the Arizona “Daily” Star print version I am very displeased that you have decided not to print a paper on holidays. What a bad decision. Please change your name to the Arizona “We print the paper when we feel like it “ Star! It is very difficult to read and follow …
Since I have been unable to reach a person to talk to on your customer service number, I am using this letter to ask you how much of a credit will I be getting since you will not be delivering a paper each year for thirteen days (which is approximately half a month). I am sure you realize th…
Pima County, your ballots are in the mail. Exercise your constitutional right to vote. Midterms typically draw about half the voters, yet they decide the issues that hit closest to home—our governor, attorney general, congressional representative, and many ballot measures that will have a di…
Organ Pipe National Park’s denial of permits to the humanitarian organization Humane Borders is the latest move by the Trump administration to politicize the National Park Service. Humane Borders places water barrels in the desert in and around Pima County where thousands of people have died…

In Mary Ellen Klas's article this morning states, Latino voters have officially become the deciding factor in American politics.
First day of no paper on holiday and its not so good. I don't want nor did I sign up for the internet. A printed paper like i've enjoyed for many years. I don't see that you will reduce subscription rates, Ha. A few other things I've noticed. Your daily news is not really daily but every oth…
It is disheartening to see the face of Rep. Juan Ciscomani flooding our TV and computer screens now. Here’s an elected official who, for a year-and-a-half, would not even hold an open public meeting because he’d have been drown out in boos. These Ciscomani ads claim he’s been a champion of w…
Here is a suggestion for the complaints of Downtown and 4th Avenue merchants that high parking meter fees are driving away customers. Make all parking free (or at least substantially lowered) and replace the lost income to the city by restarting the fees for busses and streetcars. Free bus f…
I’ve reskilled throughout my career, and one lesson has stayed with me. The ability to learn, adapt and take on something new can make all the difference.
As the summer heat finally winds down, we need to address a mounting public health crisis: indoor heat. When we think of extreme heat in Tucson we think of outdoor temperatures soaring into triple digits. However, high indoor temperatures can be just as deadly. According to Pima County stati…
I wish to thank Mr. Tom McGorry for his pleasent and up-lifting letter - Lucky Seven. 10-06-2026,
