Reader’s Voice: ‘April Fools Day’ Tax Referendum

On By admin

February 7, 2025Dear editor; Taxpayers are the government’s “bankers of last resort”.

Reader’s Voice: Stop name-calling, tough to trust Trump

On By admin

September 18, 2024Dear editor; I agree with Chris Lauzen that name-calling is “Junior High School,” but Mr. Lauzen’s letter in The Voice makes it sound as if only the Democrats are doing it. The Republicans have become the masters of name-calling. Donald Trump, the face of the modern Republican Party,...

On By admin

August 27, 2024Dear editor; It has become fashionable for some politicians to call their opponents “weird”. How clever!

July 22, 2022Dear editor; Imagine a tax that confiscates one-half of the purchasing power of your entire life savings in less than eight short years!

On the money Mike Madigan paid to Stephanie Kifowit

On By admin

September 3, 2020Dear editor; The sympathetic media coverage of Stephanie Kifowit’s so-called courage in “demanding” fellow Democrat speaker Mike Madigan’s resignation borders on the bizarre. Before we salute the brave and selfless Aurora State representative for standing up to the House speaker, perhaps her constituents and newspaper reporters should examine...
