To the Editor:
Help me understand how we have let the public school system wage a war against the taxpayers and parents who either have had kids in school or currently do? Why do we have board and bond elections at times when very few are paying attention?
Not to mention the expense of having an election for just two candidates this April 2, 2024.
I’m sure this same event happened in many other school districts.
Since the beginning of this year, measles cases have been reported in 11 states spanning both coasts and heartland. The situation warrants enough concern that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning to doctors about renewed measles risk.
Unfortunately, vaccine skepticism is threatening to undo one of the great public health achievements of the modern era: the effective victory over this highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral infection, which is particularly dangerous for children and infants.
On March 23, the U.S. Senate passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill, presumably bringing an end to months of congressional combat, stopgap measures, etc., by accepting the House version of that bill without amendments that would require renegotiation.
As is usual with big government spending bills, it’s hard to get one’s mind around the total without dividing it by the number of people expected to pick up the tab.

He said that work ethic, personal responsibility, delayed gratification and a decent attitude were expected in the workplace, and those days are gone.
Gen Zers never had a paper route.
“What’s crazy,” Jon Stewart noted in his Feb. 12 return to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, “is thinking that we’re the ones as voters who must silence concerns and criticisms. It is the candidate’s job to assuage concerns, not the voter’s job not to mention them.”
The concerns in question revolve around the two major parties likely 2024 presidential nominees’ public and obvious displays of seemingly severe cognitive impairments.
I once wrote that “scientists are right about climate change.” I long opposed logging clear-cuts and excessive drilling. I even voted for the Green Party candidate (gasp!) for president. But this longtime supporter of environmentalism has completely abandoned its modern instantiation. Here are five reasons why.
1. Failed climate change predictions
Science is about accurate prediction. If Newton’s theory had failed to predict how apples fall, then it would be useless.
Over three years of Biden administration, foreign policy has led to national security crisis after crisis. First, the Biden administration has provided worse than absentee leadership on our immigration system and border security policy.
According to a report issued by Special Counsel Robert K. Hur on Feb. 8, his investigation found “evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
