Bypass won’t keep hazardous materials off Main
Dear Editor:
I think it is time that we talk about the truck bypass and what we were told that it will do and how we are to pay for it.
First, the City of Delta will own and have to do all the upkeep on said bypass.
Land exchange, gas development are unrelated
Dear Editor:
I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in the development of our land exchange proposal. We've received tons of good input and sound advice, and we've made some significant changes to our proposal based on the comments we received.
School district is headed in the wrong direction
Dear Editor:
My letter to the editor represents concerns a great number of people are expressing about how the current Delta County Board of Education is disrespecting and disparaging the direction, the work, and efforts of previous boards of education, administrators and staff.
School board, superintendent need to be reined in
Dear Editor:
Superintendent Doss has proven he's cutthroat, ruthless and qualifies for the nickname "The Terminator." We read in last week's DCI about all the people who have been eliminated at the District Office.
Hold school board members accountable
Dear Editor:
I am greatly concerned with what is taking place within the Delta County School District. Since the school board election last fall, our new school board has, in my opinion, demonstrated fiscal irresponsibility and very poor decision-making.
There’s a book for that!
Don’t count on politicians for help
Dear Editor:
Voting for yourself? It is sad that Ken Brakken in his May 2 letter seems to have given up.
Chicken farm blends well with surroundings
Dear Editor:
I want to commend Kathy Browning on her report of the chicken operation on Powell Mesa. What a fine article in as much as it covered all the effort that was put forth to show that the fearmongering by those opposed was based not on fact but unfounded or made-up fears.
Bear Ranch is a good neighbor
Dear Editor:
We are from Ohio and have some property near Bear Ranch in Somerset along the Anthracite Creek. We borrowed our neighbor's backhoe to do some excavation on our land.
Without water, there is no life
Dear Editor:
The rural areas of the West especially need their elected representatives to pay attention to the voices of small communities as the energy boom (which we know will someday go bust) plays itself out over the coming years. Hats off to State Representative Sal Pace, who heard those voices and took the important step of contacting Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's office and asking for the North Fork leases to be deferred.
