LETTER: Here come the political flyers stuffed in the mailbox

Well, it has begun: political mail flyers. This year a new iteration has surfaced: the 11-inch by 14-inch oversized slick mailer. I respect the right of politicians to solicit my vote.

For me, I see another but waste and hubris.

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

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy
