Electorate is not well informed
Dear Editor:
I happened to hear Herman Cain yesterday and he focused my attention on a facet of education I had never contemplated. In reviewing our current political situation, it is difficult to understand how a well-informed electorate could possibly re-elect a man who has buried the country in debt, done nothing to resolve the unemployment problem, imposed an onerous health care law, and put the economy on a self-destruct course.
Montessori teachers are equally qualified

Don’t let partisan politics divide the county

There are some things that fit the statement, "The more things change, the more they are the same." In following this so-called debate on gun control there are some things that echo and re-echo from years past.
Questioning government is our duty
Dear Editor:
There are essentially two types of letters written about the City of Delta that are generously published in this newspaper. One type pertains to either applauding or criticizing the nuts and bolts of financing and operating the city, the other gives a narrative of the results of those efforts.
Put land conservation on equal ground with oil/gas
Dear Editor:
I’m writing to applaud former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt for challenging the Obama Administration to put land conservation on equal ground with oil and gas drilling. There are many treasured places, such as the North Fork Valley, that do not have the permanent protection that would guarantee that our children and grandchildren would be able to experience Colorado’s unique outdoor and agricultural heritage.
