LETTER: Sometimes actions speak louder than words
I’d like to comment on several of the very interesting letters that I’ve read recently. According to some, Mr. Anderson is their hero because he saved us $1.7 million or 24 percent on health care insurance this last time. But he could have saved more by fully implementing the tools […]
LETTER: Beware of who you vote for in School Board race
A community is known by its school system. Quality public education is crucial to the growth and success of that community. Burlington can be proud of the fine reputation our schools have enjoyed for many years. If that reputation suffers, so does Burlington and right now, that good reputation […]
LETTER: Parents say school officials treated daughter harshly
As the parents of the student referenced in the recent Standard Press articles regarding the rumored threat at Burlington High School we felt that more details are needed about the situation and how it was handled.

We’ve heard about 10,000 annual deaths to gun violence and the 40,000 lost annually to breast cancer. It’s everywhere. We’ve heard nothing about the 50,000 lost annually […]
LETTER: A few reasons not to vote for Obama
If you want to vote yourself out of a job, vote for Obama. This election is not about how many free condoms you get each week or about who’s paying Big Bird’s salary. It’s about meat-and-potato and kitchen-table issues. Gasoline has doubled during the Obama years and it’s a darn […]
LETTER: National debt is a disgrace to the ‘Greatest Generation’
What a Shame! My parents grew up during the U.S. Great Depression. I remember their stories of their delight getting only an orange on Christmas morning and the delectable delight, duck blood soup for supper. Nothing was wasted. Both of my parents were WWII veterans and part of “The Greatest […]
