Answers, Please

I have some questions I would like to ask our congressman, Nick Lalota. I had hoped to ask these questions in person, but the congressman seems to be a bit shy when it comes to meeting his constituents. So I ask, in this letter, some questions that I hope Mr. LaLota will answer in a reply. Congressman, you voted for the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill, which by most estimates will add trillions of dollars to our national debt. The Congressional Budget Office estimated an increase in the deficit of $3.8 trillion; the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated $3.1 ... by Staff Writer

Verse vs. Versus

A couple of friends and I went out for Cuban food, and we decided to share our entrees. One friend chose the camarones enchilados, described on the menu as shrimp in a spicy creole sauce with wine. It was delicious — except the chef left the tail shells on the camarones. Ugh! I had to stick my fingers into the spicy creole sauce with wine, pick up the tail and bite into the shrimp in such a way as to pull all the meat out of the shell. It’s a method I’ve found to have only a 50 percent success ... by Tracy Grathwohl

Slap in the Face

John Neely, this is not our first rodeo [“Improvement?” Letters, June 12]. We see things differently, and we are not alone. I realize Democrats are very upset that the political winds have deserted them. If anything has been learned over the decades, it is that change is not the exception, it is the rule. What was once conventional wisdom is scoffed at today. Race, gender, climate, speech and immigration are just a few topics under reconsideration. Even basic belief systems can change in a society free to question them. Today, progressive Democrats have pushed the boundaries on so much of ... 16 Jun 2025 by Staff Writer

Sickening Situation

Waste, fraud and abuse, right? That’s what Republicans in Washington, D.C., claim to be hunting down and eliminating. Even after Elon Musk’s unceremonious departure, his many successors are flying the same flag, singing the same hymn — that they’re after waste, fraud and abuse. Well, I’ve got some for them. I’ve got all three, in fact, in a place where they haven’t looked (or maybe have looked and cravenly passed over). Waste, fraud and abuse are abundantly present in the actions of Donald Trump regarding Los Angeles in the last few days. Let’s start with waste, one of the most ... by Staff Writer
