Letters to the Editor

Letter: Strength comes from wisdom

April 19, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Everybody wants a strong leader to be president. That strength, however, does not come from insulting military heroes and Gold Star families, whipping up anger with dangerous rhetoric, posting pictures of tied-up presidents in the back of pickup trucks, bullying judges' children, inciting an insurrection because you’re a poor loser,… Read story

Letter: Embrace nuclear energy

April 19, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A recent letter suggested rejecting small-plant nuclear energy because they’re unproven (“Reject nuclear energy,” Our Readers’ Views, April 11). The U.S. Navy says otherwise. Reactors have been used in the Navy since the USS Nautilus launched in 1955. Hundreds of ships and thousands of sailors have been in service ever… Read story

Letter: Schools are valuable investment

April 19, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

My hope is that the school districts in Southwest Washington continue to support the arts (including dual-language immersion programs) in their schools, and that residents of those districts vote to pass school levies and bonds. (Are you listening, Ridgefield?) Our children and grandchildren are our future. Read story

Letter: Ridgefield road not ready for school

April 19, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

There are significant timing issues with Ridgefield Proposition 11. Proposition 11 funds a new 125,000-square-foot intermediate/middle school that will serve 500 to 650 students. The location of the school is Northeast 179th Street and Northeast 29th Avenue, with the estimated completion date of fall 2026. From Interstate 5 east to… Read story

Letter: Examine science on PFAS

April 19, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I’ve seen many articles on PFAS. What I have not seen is information about PFAS actually causing harm. I’ve seen information about the correlation of PFAS in diseased tissue, but no causal statements. Read story

Letter: NW Natural misplaces blame

April 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

NW Natural recently sent me a letter with “important information” about my bill, specifically about the Climate Commitment Act fee and credit I now see on my bill. The Climate Commitment Act requires NW Natural to take steps to reduce its emissions. Read story

Letter: Road repairs are needed

April 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Once again, Clark County is at the butt end of road repairs. Based on what I see on Facebook, the Seattle area continuously gets concrete panel replacement to make their roads safer. Read story

Letter: Trump threatens democracy

April 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It’s wrong. Just plain wrong. The U.S. House of Representatives effectively has been replaced by a dictator, Donald Trump. Read story

Letter: Weigh costs, benefits of energy

April 18, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Energy “affordability” merits consideration as a priority for Clark Public Utilities only when all of the costs of generating power are taken into consideration. That has always been true, but only in my lifetime has it made it to some level of cultural awareness. Read story

Letter: Shame on TV news

April 17, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Generally, I do not watch television news. But recently I spent a week watching it to try to determine why one would watch it. Read story
