When the Prescott city government first announced it would be selling the old City Hall property, I started talking about the building as a historic site.

Scanning this past Wednesday’s newspaper I came across an obituary for Robert “Bobby” Brown, old memories came to mind as I lost my dad not long ago.

Aaron Valdez’s column “Student loan forgiveness” will undoubtedly attract plenty of comments.

The “Inflation Reduction Act” was quickly renamed “The Climate Bill” the day after it was signed.

In the Wednesday, Sept. 21 Courier, News Editor Aaron Valdez wrote in a column how he was glad that President Joe Biden was forgiving $10,000 to $20,000 in student loan debt per student.

I have attended many school board candidate forums for the upcoming election.

John Stossel’s article titled “Scientific Integrity” claims that government science is being misused by progressive politicians and that closing areas of the ocean to fishing to increase catches “doesn’t seem logical.”

We two here, took great notice of one governor candidate’s refusal to participate in a debate with her opponent.

RE: “Palguta: Regional cooperation will move us all toward better communities” guest column (Sept. 13), “I can speak only for Prescott Valley when I say ‘no,’ we as a community are not perfect.”

RE: PUSD/HUSD School Board members, they are asking parents and members of the community to trust them with the education of our children. We are asking them to trust us.

RE: “Prescott Valley YavLine on demand micro-transit service begins mid-September” – Other than a $2 charge per ride, costs are not mentioned other than Coronavirus Aid Relief Economic Security (CARES) act funding.

Just to say thanks again, to those who have continued to help keep our historic Centennial “P” on Badger Mountain, beautiful! MANY, MANY people have been involved!

I purchased a lot in Golf Links Subdivision in 1994 and have lived there for the past 21 years. At that time I asked about the noise coming from the “small” airport nearby.

I keep reading in interest the debate over growth in this city. The arguments are colorful from both sides.

The proposed Airport Vicinity Overlay District (AVO) will do more harm than good if implemented.

On Wednesday, Aug. 31 while walking on the pedestrian sidewalk that borders Prescott Lakes Parkway, I was startled by a loud shout: “Move!”

Regarding the Aug. 26 front-page article on Prescott police/firefighters having difficulty filling empty positions, it always seems to come down to not paying enough money!

In my opinion, you can tell the true character of a person by the way they treat others, especially others they don’t know. And one of the best measuring sticks of determining this is how someone drives.

I am wondering if any local law enforcement official is brave enough to address the current environment occurring in Arizona.

Many of us are fed up with government as usual … and I mean really fed up. The intensity of these feelings often leads to some incredulous suggested solutions.

Should we be fostering American Patriotism in our schools? Yes. Such is the nature of a recent bill introduced in Arizona. This includes educating our future generations on the horrid attempts to strip America of its freedoms and values, and why they failed.

I wish to thank Patrick Leyden for his letter (Aug. 3), entitled “Religion & Authoritarianism.”

In the Aug. 11 Courier there was an article, titled “Proposed new Prescott Airport protections result in legal challenges from area developers.”

As of Thursday, the Quad Cities now have six community wells (out of 16) identified as tainted with PFAS.

I’ve noted a couple recent letters from folks who say they didn’t vote for Trump last election, but they would next time.
