LETTER: GOP infrastructure compromise appears a good deal

Updated June 2, 2021 - 9:00 pm

It looks as if Republicans actually offered an infrastructure bill that adds money for our infrastructure — there’s no pork that doesn’t belong, such as health and child care. Those issues belong in a different bill.

This looks like a plus for America and the first sane, intelligent and moral bill Republicans have worked on in 10 or more years. I hope they support their own compromise and are not just playing unethical games.

I also hope the Democrats agree to at least some of this. Our country’s infrastructure and government is in such awful, pathetic shape. We need this bill desperately. Politics be darned.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
