Tax gamble
Bootsie Lauridsen, Baldwin City
May 26, 2012
Mr. Brownback’s signing of the massive income tax cut bill, which I believe will have dire consequences for the state’s financial stability, goes against everything I believe in.
God, marriage
Carl Burkhead, Lawrence
May 25, 2012
If any of us are ignorant about God’s ways, then we can choose to accept His truth and can begin living an abundant life by faith in Jesus Christ.
Tuition victims
Richard Hardin, Lawrence
May 22, 2012
George Will’s column of May 17 argues that college student indebtedness is mostly the fault of the students, and Americans, especially those who never attended college, should not have to share in the easing of this burden, even by supporting the current low interest rate of 3.4 percent.
Wrong cuts
David Childers, Lawrence
May 22, 2012
The U.S. House of Representatives recently voted on a package that guts social programs supporting low-income Americans. Specifically, they cut $36 billion from the SNAP program, or food stamps.
Not so friendly
Ray Finch, Lawrence
May 21, 2012
“Bicycle friendly” (Journal-World, May 15)? Hardly. I ride my bike nearly every day, and it has been only through sheer luck and humility that I have yet to be transformed into roadkill on Lawrence streets.
Wrong message
Curtis D. Bennett, Lawrence
May 21, 2012
Bullying is defined as “a person who deliberately intimidates or is cruel to weaker people … an uncultured, aggressive, rude, noisy troublemaker.”
Outlandish View
Bill Getz, Lawrence
May 20, 2012
Of all the outlandish pieces to grace the editorial column of the Journal-World over past years, one of the most bizarre appeared in the May 14 issue, entitled “Overreacting.”
Don’t be fooled
Richard Sengpiehl, Lawrence
May 18, 2012
According to the Kansas Economic Progress Council, a statewide nonprofit organization of businesses, trade organizations, chambers of commerce and others interested in advancing sound policy in Kansas, to offset the drastic tax cuts contained in the bill sent to Gov. Sam Brownback last week, private sector jobs in Kansas must increase 50 percent during the next six years.
Marriage threats
Dennis Dailey, Lawrence
May 18, 2012
So now there are 31 states that have banned same-sex marriage.
Multiple atrocities
Lynn Mensch Anderson, Lawrence
May 18, 2012
I’ve noticed there are fewer “letters to the editor” recently and wonder if, like me, people find it difficult to decide which atrocity to address.
Wasted effort
Barbara Walker Johnston, Baldwin City
May 17, 2012
The May 12 Journal-World has an article on the state Legislature regarding tax cuts, Sharia law and the U.N.
Unwise cuts
Joe Douglas, Lawrence
May 15, 2012
Why would Gov. Brownback and Mike O’Neal and
Suicide focus
Marcia Epstein, director Headquarters Counseling Center, Lawrence
May 15, 2012
The seal of the City of Lawrence is a phoenix rising from the ashes and “from ashes to immortality.”
Backup careers
Richard Heckler, Lawrence
May 15, 2012
A four-year degree is not quite enough. Having two or three sources of income is not a bad idea.
IQs need work
E. Kent Hayes, Lawrence
May 14, 2012
Thank you, President Obama, for saying that gays have the right to get married, but it is hard to believe that I live in a nation where their right to get married is in question. We have other issues that concern all of us and need to be addressed.
