LETTER: Get the feds and the unions out of education

For years, I have made it a habit to go directly to the Review-Journal opinion page when I get my paper. I am rarely disappointed in its content, and last Sunday’s edition was no exception.

The RJ is a real newspaper, while the Sun is mainly a regurgitation of elitist opinions from both coasts and is a total waste of newsprint.

I would also like to commend Bruce Blough for his marvelous letter (“Union power”) to the editor on teachers unions. My own view goes a bit farther. We will never, ever have quality education for the masses until we get the federal government and the unions out of the process. Many will argue that the schools need the federal money, but that can be handled with block grants, no strings attached.

Do we really have the will to do what is right for our community and our future? I doubt it.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.

LETTER: Jurors have an easy job in Hunter Biden case

The evidence is crystal clear, compelling and truthful — and there are self-incriminating comments made by Hunter himself. It is a slam dunk.

LETTER: On the Oakland A’s

What are we wasting our money on? There are myriad and better places here to use the money we will save.

LETTER: Desalination, yes

But, the only new pipelines needed would be from the desalination plants to the reservoirs or canals.
