Letter: Tea Party wants to restore accountability
There were two letters to the editor in the May 27 Herald Times that particularly caught my eye. The first letter concerning the Tea Party asked questions that, in my opinion, the author knew the answers, but in the interest of extolling the party line feigned ignorance.
Rangely principal won’t return
RANGELY I The class of incoming seniors is accustomed to turnover. The seniors-to-be at Rangely Junior/Senior High will have their fourth principal in four years. Rob Winn, first-year principal at Rangely Junior/Senior High, did not have his contract renewed.

Letter: Rio Blanco County Fair will be here soon

Letter: How much control for local governments?
Lately, many questions have been going through my head about whether our local governments have gone out of control. Are they taking too much control over our personal lives and property? Why is the town of Meeker threatening to put someone in jail for creating an inventive advertisement?

I want to start by congratulating the class of 2010 on your great success.
It’s an honor for me to be here. I know that many of you, both graduates and parents, have been waiting for this day for many years.
