Regarding a couple of Cheers and Jeers (“Cheers & Jeers: Apples shine; toilet paper to-do,” The Columbian, March 14). People panic-purchase because they succumb to the power of suggestion or fall for the media hype, which in this case is just ridiculous and they are mostly selfish. “I got mine, sorry if you don’t get yours.”
As for the Cheer about elected officials listening, what happened to the city council and the removal of about 400 parking spaces along Columbia? They clearly didn’t listen to all the concerned citizens and businesses.
