Letters

High-priced concern

There’s an old saying that "everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not to their own facts." Yet, the Aug. 4 editorial, "A high-priced cliffhanger," invents its own facts as well. It wrongly stated, "the whole debate might have been avoided if President Barack Obama took seriously the recommendations of his own deficit-reduction commission, rather than sloughing them off."

Offended at letter

I take great offense to Richard Stein’s letter in the July 14 edition.

Speed cameras

If you are like me, you have gotten a fair number of speed camera tickets from the city of Bowie.

My sister queens that were with me both commented on how nice everyone is in Bowie.
