LETTER: Democrats hold up stimulus bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are holding up folks from getting their much-needed relief checks for food and rent because they insist on adding some unrelated funds for their pet projects — like they did last time — and that is plain wrong Congress needs to pass legislation that all bills stand on their own. Period. No tit for tat.

We, the taxpayers, have been ripped off for years by this terrible practice and it needs to stop. How many millions (billions?) might have been saved if this had been enacted long ago. We should insist they pass legislation to this effect.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
