Letter: Make room for emergency vehicles

February 14, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Reading the article about Sue Marshall serving as a firefighter for a day and her comments about “how hairy it can be to navigate through traffic in a roughly 30-foot-long fire engine” struck a chord with me (“Clark County Councilor Sue Marshall spends day with Fire District 6 to get… Read story

Letter: Supporters blind to Trump’s faults

February 13, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Sociopaths are in charge

February 13, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Cars remain dominant mode

February 13, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It’s sort of ironic. The city plans to spend $1.5 million to “calm” (impede) the traffic on 34th Street. While a half-mile away the state is spending $25 million to ease traffic. Read story

Letter: Protect undocumented workers

February 12, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us all how vulnerable we are, but mainly it showed the socio-economic gap that exists due to the lack of social services for the undocumented population in this country. Read story

Letter: Don’t forget Trump’s chaos

February 10, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Save democracy, reject Trump

February 10, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Trump wants to be in the spotlight (i.e. president) for several reasons: to placate his ego, to absolve himself from his crimes and to exact revenge on his enemies. It’s not “Let’s make America Great Again,” Trump really wants everyone to believe “Let’s make Trump the greatest.” Read story

Letter: Make good use of Heritage Farm

February 10, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Thank you to The Columbian for the article published about the 78th Street Heritage Farm (“Plans for Heritage Farm finally taking shape — and selling the property is off the table,” Feb. 1) and to the Clark County Council’s direction to do a sustainability plan that increases community access and… Read story
