Dear Editor: Once again we watch with utter horror a news story about a child gunning down another child. Today’s shooting du jour of a six-year-old girl by a six-year-old classmate in a Michigan elementary school has left me feeling deeply saddened and horrified, but unfortunately not surprised.

I was at the budget hearings and the council meetings when the Fiscal Year Adjustment Bonds (FYAB) were voted on. I spoke against the nonsense logic of bonding for …
Dear Editor: It is amusing that the briefs photo (2/20/00) shows a flag over City Hall condoning “blood, faces, and land in commemorating roots and culture.” So does the Confederate flag, but I will bet that, like in all politics, no one will raise the hue and cry. The more one tries to raise his …
Dear Editor: I have written to your paper before about the upcoming march on Washington called the Million-Mom March.
