Letter: Support Zingale in 18th District

September 6, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I am voting Nov. 5 for John Zingale for 18th Legislative District representative, Position 2. John is honest, trustworthy and has many valuable goals for our state. He is a hard worker, an award-winning teacher, a strong union supporter and a decent human being. Check his website for his many… Read story

Letter: Charge premium for big energy use

September 6, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The article “Energy demand from data centers growing faster than West can supply, experts say” (Oregon Capital Chronicle, Aug. 26) details growth of these facilities in the Northwest. The law of supply and demand will lead to more rapid price increases for homeowners because utilities already have to buy power… Read story

Letter: Perez shows support for veterans

September 5, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

In a recent letter, Eleanor Lynch wrote that Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez doesn’t support veterans because of a vote against VA funding in 2023 (“Perez doesn’t support veterans,” Our Readers’ Views, Aug. 3). I suggest more research into why Perez voted as she did (because of amendments that Republicans tied… Read story

Letter: Trump encourages peace

September 5, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I agree with that “we should not support a presidential candidate that loves domestic terrorists.” That’s why presidential candidate Kamala Harris should not be supported. Read story

Trump behavior not acceptable

September 5, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It is reassuring that as children return to school, teachers are reminding students that name-calling, bullying, lying and general discourtesy are not allowed in the classroom. Unfortunately, this message has not reached Donald Trump and JD Vance. Read story

Letter: Killing is not sporting

September 5, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I found the article about killing birds as “warmup” for killing other birds distasteful (“Hunting September game birds is good warmup for waterfowl and upland seasons,” The Columbian, Aug. 31). What is the attraction of killing living creatures, be it birds or other animals? Read story

Letter: Support landfill gas project

September 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

As the former executive director of the Washington PUD Association, I was very disappointed to read about the suspension of the landfill gas project being sponsored by Cowlitz County and the public utility district. Read story

Letter: Support Harris for president

September 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

What scares me more than Donald Trump running for reelection are his vocal and financial supporters. He is a convicted felon, a pathological liar and his political rhetoric about everybody except himself is repulsive. He even has evangelical Christians convinced of his piety, yet their commitment to him speaks volumes… Read story

Letter: Reject fear-mongering

September 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Reading Randolph A. Cate’s letter (“Bridge proposal is not scary,” Our Readers’ Views, Aug. 27) brings back memories of a comedy trio called The Three Stooges. It looks to me like Joe Kent (Curly Joe), Brad Benton (mindless Moe) and John Ley (brainless Larry) are the perfect team to become… Read story
