Take time to check the facts
Dear Editor:
Wes Perrin of Paonia recently questioned the letter to the editor I submitted, so for his benefit and that of your readers, I feel compelled to respond. If Mr. Perrin would do a little research, I am sure that he can find the answers to both of his questions.
Customer service excels
Dear Editor:
Just wanted to write a letter regarding one business here in Delta, Summit Door Company, and Larry. I needed to know some particulars about our garage door which failed to work properly.
Excessive partisanship decried
Dear Editor:
The letter from Lloyal Anderson published in last week's edition of the DCI, calling supporters of Barack Obama a "depraved electorate" and a "multitude of fools," is both offensive and reprehensible.
Excessive partisanship exhibited by members of Congress has just about stalled any legislative progress during the past two years.
The Clean Water Act - for Betty
Dear Editor:
Forty years ago on Oct. 18, the United States Congress passed the Clean Water Act of 1972. It was a great victory for not only the environmental advocates but also for humanity in general.

Chimney Rock deserves designation
Dear Editor:
Western Colorado Interpretive Association was pleased with President Obama's recent designation of Chimney Rock as a National Monument.

The designation will permanently protect Chimney Rock while bringing attention to the area, boosting tourism and helping the local economy.

However, when comes the time to actually practice it themselves, that appears to be defined to mean, "Yes. I can speak and you should listen, but you should remain quiet, as I have spoken."
City can make better use of $20,000 ‘investment’
Dear Editor:
The walls of city hall are thick. They are rarely penetrated from without by prudent fiscal consideration and common sense, yet what emanates from within and easily passes through those walls is too often silly.
Consequences should reinforce responsibility
Dear Editor:
This summer vandalism forced the closure of the restrooms in Cedaredge Town Park and at High Country Park. Both were caused by juveniles.
Theft of signs may have unintended consequences
Dear Editor:
A word to those who took our Romney for President signs from various residences on Garnet Mesa in Delta a couple of weeks ago: I know that Romney for President of the United States signs are scarce seeing how so many good folks are wanting them to put in their yards. If you really wanted one to put in your yard, all you had to do was ask.
