A report of current “character and decency” void that should have us asking, “How/why are incidents like this happening?”
I don’t usually read News Editor Aaron Valdez’s columns but the most recent one piqued my interest.
Some thoughts on the Sundog Connector from someone who has been living and driving in this area since highways 69, 89 and Willow Creek and others were two lane roads.
My wife and I recently had a Carbon Monoxide (CO) episode whereby we almost became victims of this silent killer. It was only because we were awake when it happened and our CO Alert device was going off.
I am not sure I read the article about “passing lanes” on Iron Springs Road correctly, but if I did here’s my take on the project. I drive that road frequently and when I hear “passing lanes” what came to mind is the speed many drive out there.
Changing lanes or driving at the speed limit is dangerous on many Prescott streets. I propose one year of a $50 surcharge beyond current fees ...
S.G. Robinson, in his Sept. 14 Talk of the Town, lifted up his children as brave/angelic because one chose a gay lifestyle and the other to change her appearance to appear male.
Can any of us honestly say that our leaders dedicate themselves to the oath with which they swear allegiance?
Regarding Martin Trembly’s Sept. 7 letter, it has become a very tired right-wing talking point, accusing the “liberals” of trying to erase history.
What an incredible day, Sept. 10, this was! Maren Decker and her “Just Serve” organization just pulled off one of the very best service days that Acker Park has ever seen!
Arizona Philharmonic’s opening performance was Sunday at its new permanent venue, the Ruth Street Theater on the Prescott High School campus.
Consider this new tool for quad-city population control. Forget fighting new construction or worries over water supplies and promote the heck out of the monsoons.
A recent Rant opined: “All the people claiming the Trump indictments are purely political seem to forget that it was grand juries of everyday Americans, not Biden, who found the evidence convincing enough to bring indictments.”
RE: the Aug. 27 Talk of the Town by Michael Ellegood. Although I tend to agree with Mr. Ellegood’s assessment of teachers’ low pay and per-pupil allotments, I must disagree on other positions.
The Aug. 22 Prescott City Council meeting was about updating an ordinance regarding “camping.” Homelessness is a problem, but a lack of consideration for the humanity of the people experiencing it, is a bigger problem.
Among the many conflicting statements made by our president, this one burns me up more than most. Here is a direct quote from a White House transcript of his comments this summer honoring Emmett Till.
Rebuttal to David McNabb’s letter about Donald Trump (Aug. 23).
Regarding the column by John Stossel in the Aug. 25 Courier, Hurrah for John Stossel! The lies that come from our government officials are continuous.
I’m all for the new fee the City of Prescott has placed on convicted criminals. Someone wrote in that $75 was too much (McNabb, “New fee is criminal” Aug. 16).
Since its earliest days the labor movement has sought to improve the quality of work life, create workplace democracy and participate in employer/employee decision-making.
Since when did a loan repayment become “optional”? A loan is an agreement to borrow money in order to get something valuable, like a house, car or education.
Regarding the new Grand Canyon monument — sorry, Janie Curtis. This is not a land grab, it is a protection of sacred Native Americans’ land who are, but the way, the local residents and have been for thousands of years.
It is understandable that members of the community are concerned about Prescott Unified School District test scores.
Regarding Dan Speights’ letter (Aug. 24), the issue of drag shows and children is really simple. If you don’t want your children to attend, don’t let them.
Woe! I must have missed something when I read about a possible ordinance to restrict drag shows to adults.
