Letter: Support for Trump is nonsensical

March 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Troy Miller, head of the National Religious Broadcasters, an evangelical Christian organization, recently stated, “I can say, from all of the people I meet with and talk to … (Donald) Trump has this appeal.

Letter: School cuts are painful

March 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It breaks my heart to see the deep cuts in Vancouver Public Schools. As a former labor leader, I naturally sympathize with the staff members who are being laid off.

Letter: History repeats in Europe

March 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Invest in Ridgefield schools

March 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

As a volunteer door-knocker for the Ridgefield schools bond drive, I have spoken with many residents. One person said they cannot afford the cost. It is true. Schools cost money. But note: this bond will pass eventually. As more and more families choose to live in Ridgefield, parents will predominate… Read story

Letter: Don’t assist those here illegally

March 28, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I was shocked when I read in The Columbian that some of our tax money is going to provide state medical assistance for illegal immigrants (“Washington expands health care for undocumented immigrants,” The Seattle Times, March 12). Read story

Letter: Climate Act ‘fee’ is shocking

March 27, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I was paying my monthly NW Natural gas bill and was shocked to see a $122 WA Climate Act Fee. Read story

Letter: Keep tolls, crime off new bridge

March 27, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

We are being nickeled and dimed to death in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is pushing hard for all of this. Read story

Letter: End military aid to Israel

March 27, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It is beyond debate that, at times over the last 75 years, people on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have engaged in conduct beyond the pale, inflicting extensive pain and misery on ordinary people. Read story
