It’s time to change direction
Dear Editor:
We all wish everything was as warm and touchy-feely as Mr. Arthur Phillips describes (letters to the editor, Oct. 17), especially when discussing politics. God bless his heart, but just where in heck has he been?
Make your vote count
Dear Editor:
Over the past four-plus years, median household net worth has vanished by 39 percent while congressional net worth rose 5 percent and the wealthiest one-third net worth by 14 percent (Washington Post via The Week).
What are they really doing in D.C.?
CHS community service project was a great idea
Dear Editor:
It was a pleasure to see so many pages of the Surface Creek section of the paper turned over to the high school events here in Cedaredge last week.
I especially want to comment on the fact that the students did a Homecoming community service project for the community, bagging and delivering one ton of potatoes to the Cedaredge Food Bank.
Curry will carry influence
Dear Editor:
I would ask everyone in District 61 of the Colorado House of Representatives, and that includes the eastern half of Delta County, to consider voting for Kathleen Curry as their representative. She is an independent (unaffiliated) and as such is not beholden to any party.
Keep Millie Hamner in the State House
Dear Editor:
I urge residents of HD 61 to keep Representative Millie Hamner in the State House. She should represent House District 61 because she has lived on the Western Slope for more than 30 years and understands and appreciates our unique mountain lifestyle.
Wake up, Delta and Gunnison counties
Dear Editor:
The economy/jobs is on everyone's mind and words. So, let's talk about not only our local economy but also how it ties into the national economy.
The sword cuts both ways
Dear Editor:
Bob Laitres, as far as I know, is an honest and honorable man. He is, by his own proud admission, a Democrat and an Obama supporter.
It’s all about respect
Dear Editor:
Letters to the editor in last week's DCI report instances of rather nasty human behavior. There's one lesson that many folks learned from parents and teachers.
Romney is a threat to Medicare, Social Security
Dear Editor:
Boy, it looks like I settled into a Republican county. Everyone must be proud of what Mr. Bush did to this country.
Unemployment numbers don’t add up
Dear Editor:
I would like to comment on the September 2012 7.8% unemployment number.
I predicted a number below 8% would be reported at this time several months ago.
