Dear Editor: Few would argue our world is in shambles, national leadership and local leadership are in chaos. Our local government is not exempt of problems. We have righteous, good-willed people, and even a few swamp rats. Some are into politics for “me” (themselves) and some are in it for[Read More…]
Letters To The Editor
Letter: Bridge to home
Dear Editor: The veterans proposing the dedication of the town bridges to veterans is commendable. “Bridge to Home” seems fitting to all who have served and returned home … either living or deceased. God bless all of our veterans! J.P. Jones Meeker

Letter: We want our votes back
Dear Editor: While we waited with anticipation for the 2016 results, the ground swell support for Trump grew until we knew he would win the 2020 election.

Letter: Book Cliffs Highway debacle

Letter: Disappointed
Dear Editor: I guess I want to express myself after moving to Rangely from Virginia. I’m very disappointed in the nepotism in the job “market” here.

Letter: Subdivision change a bad idea
Dear Editor: I have been biting lips to keep my mouth shut, and I lost that war. I want to address the idea of changing the development size of lots to fit anyone, including a county commissioner. When you make exceptions for one you make them for all. It is[Read More…]
