Letter: New saying
Larry Day, Lawrence
June 15, 2013
“Beginning July 1, a new state law is expected to more than cut in half the number of Lawrence properties that will require a historic preservation review as part of the development process.” (Journal-World, June 12) That story reminded me of a saying from my youth.
Letter: Energy folly
Ken Meyer, Lawrence
June 15, 2013
The purveyors of ethanol-blended fuels complain that they are facing difficult and expensive regulations to follow in order to sell their product.
Letter: Track trip
Dee Boeck, Lawrence
June 15, 2013
My husband and I very much enjoyed the coverage given to the KU women’s track and field team winning the NCAA Outdoor National Championship.
Letter: Coin, quoin
Steve Padget, Lawrence
June 14, 2013
On Sunday, June 9 there was an interesting, if partially flawed story on the front page.
Letter: Shamans, Bible
Gay Doudoroff, Lawrence
June 14, 2013
In the June 10 “GO!” section, in the article on shamanism, I read this sentence: “But those who practice it say it doesn’t have to be exclusive of other healing approaches, or even religions.”
Letter: Great service?
Everett Hickam, Lawrence
June 14, 2013
Well, Mr. Brownback may well be doing this country a great service.
Letter: Nice job!
Larry Saathoff, Lawrence
June 13, 2013
It was great to see the article about Perry Ellis stopping by and shooting hoops with a local Special Olympian that had recently moved to Wichita (Journal-World, June 6).
Letter: Less dark?
Ted Johnson, Lawrence
June 12, 2013
Declarations, such as declarations of love, war, independence or a disaster area, generally involve people and things, budgets and consequences.
Letter: Good response
Audrey Mortensen, Lawrence
June 12, 2013
Although I am thoroughly disgusted with the new state budget cobbled together in the middle of the night by the Kansas Legislature, I do want to commend another area of the state government for being responsive and helpful to this citizen.
Letter: Food stamps vital
Sarah Casad, Lawrence
June 10, 2013
Whatever could the U.S. House of Representatives be thinking as it proposes deep cuts to the food stamp program?
Letter: Profit over care
Candice Davis, Lawrence
June 10, 2013
I can understand why advocates for those with developmental disabilities do not want to be a part of Gov. Brownback’s KanCare system.
Letter: Sacred wetlands
Mike Caron, Lawrence
June 8, 2013
Adelv unegv Waya, a 49-year-old Cherokee, was 20-something when a doctor said he was “retarded.” At Washington University’s highly rated Brown School of Social Welfare he uses another name, Dr. David Patterson. Once he was an alcoholic high school dropout, literally “processing sewer excrement” all day.
Letter: True conservatism?
Anna Slemmer, Lawrence
June 8, 2013
Well, I certainly am excited with the developments in Topeka. According to Kansas Secretary of Revenue Nick Jordan and Gov. Sam Brownback, this state is destined to be a shining example of true conservatism in action.
Letter: Surprise!
Bill Simons, Lawrence
June 8, 2013
Well! Well! Well! Surprise! Surprise! Lawrence needs a new $24 million police headquarters facility (probable sales or property tax increase), and the city needs to pay its share to add four dispatchers to the 911 center (probable property tax increase).
Letter: War on people
Rick Frydman, Lawrence
June 7, 2013
We as taxpayers have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars on the miserable failure we call the War On Drugs, but instead of learning from our mistakes, we continue to celebrate our follies with articles like the one that recently appeared in your paper.
