The proponents of a radical initiative have picked the worst possible time to put a stranglehold on the local economy.

PORC has been relentlessly trying to convince people to direct their anti-growth anger towards Betabel. They've used lies and scare tactics and seem to have no conscience, or respect for the community they're lying to.

Thank you for your front page gift of contrasting portrayals of two local women. I enjoyed this study in character and personality.

Your idea that “the government” somehow coddles us is absurd given the facts of how the current administration has allowed "the greatest nation on earth" to have the worst death toll of any—210,000 as of this week, in case you missed it.
