Social security cap should be removed
Dear Editor:
To answer Bernie Heideman's questions about what is "more likely" for most people ("The rich just keep getting richer, May 30), I need to point out that fueling resentment against the super rich by reminding the rest of us what we DON'T have is non productive argument. Tax increases on any segment of society trickle down to increased costs for the rest of us.
School board is out of control
Dear Editor:
Our school board is out of control. Not only are their decisions arbitrary, random and contradictory but show absolutely no understanding of educational governance or concern for students, district personnel or the community at large.
If you see something that doesn’t look right, call 911
Dear Editor:
A young Florida man is walking home from a convenience store. He is minding his own business and is no threat to anybody else, but another man spies him and for reasons known only to himself, he decides to follow that young man, even though a 911 operator he called to report what he was doing tells him not to do that.
The ideal candidate
Dear Editor:
Mark Roeber is an ideal candidate for Delta County Commissioner from District 3. Not only was he born and raised in the North Fork Valley, but he has made it home for himself, his wife and their four children.
Don’t let hunters take aim at sandhill cranes
Dear Editor:
A sandhill crane hunt has been proposed for Moffat and Routt counties. These are the cranes that come to Hart's Basin/Fruitgrowers each spring!
Roeber will protect our values
Dear Editor:
I am writing to support Mark Roeber for Delta County Commissioner. My family and I have known the Roeber family for many years.
Roeber’s actions will be guided by fairness
Dear Editor:
If you don't mind having a nuclear waste dump or carcass disposal site right next door, vote for Roger Bentley for District #3 Republican County Commissioner candidate. If a confined animal operation with 5,000 skunks next door won't bother you, vote for Roger Bentley.
It’s time to get off the fence
Dear Editor:
Recently, I noticed a fence in front of a home with signs supporting Mark Roeber and Roger Bentley, the candidates for District 3 county commissioner nomination in the June Republican primary. There could not be a starker contrast between two candidates.
Comic strip says it all
Dear Editor:
My letters to the editor on the various controversies/hypocrisies became so long that I decided to stick to the old adage "A picture says a million words" or however it goes.
Anyway, I created a comic strip named "North Fork City Limits."
The rich just keep getting richer
Dear Editor:
What is more likely: that you will need Social Security and Medicare when you retire, OR that you will resent the taxes you have to pay on your million dollar income? What is more likely: that your family will need food stamps, OR that you will not have to pay attention to how much you're spending at a very fancy restaurant?
