Letters to the Editor

Letter: Bridge process is backward

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

So, we have 60 days to review the bridge plans. Let me get this straight: We don’t have a final design, we don’t know how much it will cost, we don’t have Coast Guard approval, we don’t know how much the local citizens will be asked to pay, and I… Read story

Letter: Christians fail Trump test

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I appreciated Gary Van Allen’s letter regarding “character,” especially in juxtaposition to the pro-Trump ones (“Look for character in leaders,” Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 18). I come from a solidly Christian background, and what I hear and see from the “Christians” who support Trump is nothing like what I was… Read story

Letter: Support rent stabilization

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

The time is now to support candidates who support rent-stabilization legislation that would limit increases for many to a reasonable amount. These limits are important to keep our communities stable and affordable. Read story

Letter: Reject Initiative 2117

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

What do 450 organizations and tribal nations in Washington have in common? They all are opposed to Initiative 2117, which would cut funding for clean water and air, wildfire prevention, transportation, Native communities, farmers, salmon recovery and assistance for low-income households.

Letter: Support Oneil for utility

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

James Oneil gets my vote for Clark Public Utilities commissioner. A longtime Clark County resident, business developer and involved community member, Oneil understands the role of commissioner in a changing Northwest energy industry environment. Read story

Letter: Harris is better candidate

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Trump lost the debate in my opinion. Trump wasted time talking about things that weren’t relevant to the topic or not true. Kamala Harris was informed and prepared for the debate. Read story

Letter: County should keep golf course

September 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I don’t know what is more outrageous, the decision by Clark County commissioners to sell one of the two public golf courses in the county, or acting like tinpot dictators making that decision in secret completely out of the public eye. Read story

Letter: Presidential choice is easy

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I read letters to The Columbian from people who don’t see a difference between the presidential candidates and, honestly, I’m flummoxed. Read story

Letter: Rhetoric ignores real problems

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Eating pets and lowering taxes seems to be the major emphasis of political talk these days. Little is said about the real problems ahead — out-of-control debt and climate. These are the two conditions that will prove to be the most devastating — the forces that could change everything. Read story

Letter: Vote wisely for the people

September 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Isn’t it crazy how we have to fight our government? (“Challenging government is uphill legal battle” The Columbian, Sept. 21). It sure would be nice if we had a system that provided the people representation, with the authority to enforce transparent review and appropriate corrective action to problems reported by… Read story
