To the editor:
We are nearing the end of the political campaigns that will determine the fundamental direction for the future of our county. Some call this the “silly season.” I call it the most serious of seasons.
Recently, more than one person has informed me Democrats in the area are being told because they are registered Democrats, their only choice is to vote for all Democrat candidates. The implication being that legally, they are not able to vote for Republicans because of their party affiliation.

To the editor:
Braniff, a 14-year-old schoolboy living in a comfortable home and enjoying the multiplicities of youth, is happy and could care less about the costs of universal healthcare or national debt crises. He is American.
Braniff has no political ideology, no taxes to pay and certainly has no opinion about immigration or Social Security. His main concern is his wardrobe, his friends, their video games and his sports agenda.

To the editor:
Before Monday Night Football, we are challenged by the question: “Are you ready for some football?” Well, “are you ready for some voting?”
By now, most of us have either made a decision on the presidential election or are doing our best to make an informed choice. However, when we step in that voting booth, we will be confronted with many other names and blocks to be checked.

To the editor:
Re: Sandpiper Bay community/council meeting on July 24.
Mr. Parker (when questioned about the $1.2 million): “Come to my office. I have it all laid out, estimated for each thing.” So, council member Karen Joseph and [former member] Len Steiner, it’s appropriate for town administrator Parker to use his office to disseminate meaningless and/or misleading information to serious inquirers, but not OK for me to share his data with others? To repeat a euphemism—hogwash!
