Letter: Sinking state
Forrest Swall, Lawrence
June 7, 2013
The governor is the admiral of the Titanic. He has decided, along with the Republican leadership, that the wealthy will float free in the lifeboats while the poor go down with the ship.
Letter: Not California
R. A. Butler, Lawrence
June 7, 2013
Mr. Coan needs to do a little more research about becoming a “solar power capital” like Lancaster, Calif. (Public Forum, May 31). Lancaster is in the Mojave Desert. It boasts 350 days of sunshine a year, and that is pretty accurate.
Letter: Gun fears unfounded
Patrick Wilbur, Lawrence
June 5, 2013
The recent actions by the city and county commissions (and the Lawrence Journal-World editorial “More guns”) are clearly not grounded in the facts.
Letter: Power of prayer
Carl Burkhead, Lawrence
June 4, 2013
The May 28 Journal-World article entitled “Tiny town had close call with monster tornado” supports the power of prayer when dealing with the Prince of the Power of the Air. However, Job’s children encountered this power when God allowed Satan to attack Job the first time.
Letter: No re-enactment
David Upchurch, Lawrence
June 4, 2013
Will the 1863 Commemorate Lawrence Project please reconsider having actors “re-enact” the Quantrill Raid?
Letter: Looking at Kansas
Lori Wagner, Lawrence
June 4, 2013
The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Kansas Senate have finally agreed on something.
Letter: Marijuana laws
John Hooge, Lawrence
June 2, 2013
The most compelling points in your four-part story on the recent marijuana sweep were: (1) the sweep’s huge cost, (2) the minimal effect it had on the supply, and (3) what was not discussed.
Letter: Solar power
Clark H. Coan, Lawrence
May 31, 2013
According to a recent (April 9) article in the New York Times, the city of Lancaster, Calif., is the new solar capital of America with an ambitious goal: producing more electricity from solar energy than it consumes!
Letter: Legalized drugs
Frank Lingo, Lawrence
May 31, 2013
I liked Andres Oppenheimer’s piece about the OAS drug report. I liked it less when he got to the part starting with “My opinion.”
Letter: Downtown demise
M.G. Roy, Lawrence
May 31, 2013
In response to the May 24 editorial, “Development shift?,” I offer a single word that, if considered seriously, could open many new dialogues about our downtown’s problems. The word is “classism.”
Letter: Grad event
Angie Evers and Diane Becker, chairs, Project Graduation 2013 Working Committee
May 29, 2013
On May 22, another successful Project Graduation event was held.
Letter: Petty politics
Ralph Reed, Lawrence
May 29, 2013
In an article on May 26, Scott Rothschild opened the door and shined a little light on the petty politics conducted by The “GUV”ernor and departments of the Kansas state government.
Letter: No transparency
Scott Burkhart, Lawrence
May 29, 2013
When President Obama was elected, he promised the most transparent administration ever elected.
Letter: Voting power
Jim Denman, McLouth
May 27, 2013
People between the ages of 18 and 39 are angry. They are angry with predominately white, older (over 50) people who are financially sound and make all the rules.
Letter: Vet responds
Dr. Steve Willson, Lawrence
May 24, 2013
This a follow-up to my May, 8 response to the May 5 Journal-World article “Concert … baby wildlife.”
