Letters to the Editor
Editor, People seem not to know what it means when a right lane is ending and they have to merge into the left lane. When the right lane is ending, it does not mean to speed up into a gap that is barely big enough for your car and to make the traffic slow down as you cut the other car off to merge into the lane. More than likely there is a gap after the car you’re trying to cut off, and I’m sure it won’t hurt you to wait a few more seconds to merge safely. For example, I was driving into Polson, by China Gate and before AutoZone, in the left lane. I was going into town. A black Ford SUV sped up in the right lane and tried to squeeze between me an...
Editor, Having graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from a mid-western college in 1953 but with no professional standing, I feel comfortable sharing my views. After months of absorbing numerous news broadcasts and articles from both Republican and Democratic sources concerning ...
Editor, Times have sure changed. Twenty-years-ago, it seems like anytime you made a purchase back then you would get a sincere “thank you” from the person you made the purchase from. Today, in Lake County, it seems like getting a simple thank you is getting harder to come by. F...
Editor, I just have to join in on this election season. There have been so many of those vote cards arriving every day for months. I am sure many people are having a problem with them. The garbage can in the post office gets full every day as box holders discard them. Let’s look at another side to t...
Editor, A Canadian friend from Cranbrook sent me a copy of the following from the newspaper he reads, Ledger Dispatch. I thought it was good food for thought. “Freedom to not wear a mask” by Libby Jones for the Ledger Dispatch: “We trust you to make your own choices if you want ...
Editor, As I listen to the 24/7 news, I am struck by how critical the media, generally, is that the Republicans, in positions of leadership, are not speaking out against Trump. To me, it seems that these elected legislators are simply wanting to save their own skin. Trump rules by fear, anger and...
Editor, This letter is a “thank you” to Kim our letter carrier in Mission. On any given day, we receive eight to 10 political ads, plus our regular mail. On this particular day, we received 16. This is unbelievable, and the assault on our postal service is ridiculous. Our postal service ...
Editor, To my Republican friends: I support family values; I’m voting for decency, respect, compassion and honesty. I align with smaller government. I’m voting for women’s rights in healthcare decisions. I agree with lowering taxes for middle and low income workers; I disagree with ta...
Editor, I am writing in response to a letter published Oct. 14 by Dayna McClure regarding the Drain the Swamp, Vote Republican sign. McClure is confused and he is also mistaken. The sign has nothing to do with Super One Foods. It is on Scenic Lane with approval from all of the Scenic Lane ...

He has served as chairman of the Senate Education Committee, vice-chair of the House Business and Labor Committee, vice-chair of the ...
