                Letter: Ciscomani's signs

                • Craig Miller, Northwest side

                Ciscomani has huge signs everywhere. One on each corner of an intersection by us. I guess he's hoping that having signs everywhere will distract from the fact that he's been incommunicado with his constituents for years. He constantly states reasonable positions on issues but then does a 180…

                • John Reed, Northeast side

                In his opinion piece in the Arizona Daily Star, Bruce Hilpert traced the birth of the school voucher system back to the racists’ solution to evade the desegregation of the public schools and to deprive the public schools of taxpayer support.

                Letter: Billionaires

                • ken smalley, Midtown

                Recently there is much discussion about billionaires, especially those that learned, worked, saved, invested, invented, produced, and distributed. There is another group that nobody talks about that become billionaires or multimillionaires but don't follow that path. These are the big lotter…

                  Last week there were two letters to the editor from the same person in the same issue. Letters have also been published from the same person in numerous issues during the month. Are there not enough letter to the editor being sent, or does the paper just like certain people? I thought the pa…

                    Letter: Cease Fire

                      During the morning news I read that the US had fired at Iranian missile sites and small boats. The actual damage done or loss of life was not reported. During the same broadcast some prognosticator wondered aloud whether these acts of aggression would affect the cease fire. Am I nuts or are …

                        The international committee producing the official United Nations climate scenarios has just determined that RCP 8.5, the study claiming that climate change would ultimately destroy the planet as we know it, WAS IMPLAUSABLE.

                              Today, Norway is richer than the United States in per-capita wealth thanks to its discovery of oil and gas in the Norwegian controlled Continental Shelf. Norway manages their oil and gas by acting as owner through a national energy company and transferring profits into a sovereign wealth fun…

                                Perhaps I'm a bit too optimistic, but I was hopeful to hear that, per Senate President Warren Petersen, negotiators have almost agreed on a budget to fund our state government as of May 20. While I disagree with the political theater on both sides and wish something like submitting a budget …

                                President Obama created a program for young people, under 31 when the program began in 2012: these folks must have arrived in the US before turning 16 and live here continuously since 2007. The DACA program was a compromise devised after Congress failed, repeatedly, the Development , Relief …

                                The American people are not supposed to wake up every day, terrified on what their president might do. This is not normal.

                                I was surprised to read that, in a state like ours, which is still purple and swingy, that LD 20 Democratic candidates in their recent debate criticized Gov. Katie Hobbs for being "too moderate." I respect their stances, but I just want to review the facts. The same month that the current fe…

                                The Star had a good story Tuesday (5/19) about the Phoenix Chapter of the Flying Samaritans. However, it should be mentioned that Tucson has its own chapter of the Flying Sams, and we often share volunteers with Phoenix.

                                I work very hard and always pay my taxes. I vote and elect congress people who agree to use my taxes for programs important to the safety and health of my city, county, state and country. Since the president continues to illegally re-allocate this money and use it for illegal programs that m…

                                Mr Simon begins his letter, 5/23/26, by identifying "as a Jew", as if this adds credibility to his distortions,. The historical record shows Jews, from the 2nd century BCE through the Nazi era, betraying other Jews. In Europe through the middle ages some Jews, were snitches on other Jews who…

                                As an American Jew I call shame on AIPAC for doing Trump's bidding by mixing into the Kentucky Congressional Race to support Trump's endorsed candidate by pouring millions of dollars into a negative advertisement campaign against the incumbent Thomas Massie. Why? Because Massie had the chutz…

Since this fund is open to anyone, I would respectfu…
