By Kay Ziegahn | Richland Center In denigrating others just to get a laugh, Trump imagines he is superior to all who disagree with him. Therefore, he blithely continues mudslinging anyone he considers a rival. Who but a fool would say, much less believe, that Kamala...
Letter to the editor: Democratic bus needs work, but Republican bus is stuck in reverse
By Kent Gallaway | Readstown I’m a conflicted independent voter, and it’s a shame that in 2024, when the choice for president should be clear, it isn’t! We don’t have rank choice voting, and we are left with what the oligarchs have left, an undemocratic...

Letter to the editor: A glance at the past — 1954

Letter to the editor: Why doesn’t Rep. Oldenburg show up?
By Kent Galloway | Readstown How come state Rep. Loren Oldenburg doesn’t respond or show up? For several years I’ve sent letters, voicemails and emails to him. Sometimes I’ve offered criticism, mentioned our free repair clinic, or compliments, with not one response!...

Letter to the editor: Are Republicans the party of the poor?
By Don Foy | La Farge I saw a lady on TV say the Democrats are the party of the rich, and the Republicans are the party of the poor. She’s wearing upside-down glasses! The Republicans are more than ever the party of and for the rich. One gauge of this is that...
