Clinton deserves a fair shake

To the editor:

It’s time for Donald Trump and his supporters to stop maligning Hillary Clinton and start examining Trump and his past performance.

Trump’s record is full of lies, innuendos, exaggerations and bullying. Many of his business ventures have gone broke. Trump University was a sham that charged almost $35,000 in tuition and went out of business after multiple lawsuits. Trump has never admitted his mistakes.

To the editor:

I know exactly what will happen with her. It’s worse than what I don’t know will happen with him.

Buying local food also keeps dollars circulating in the community and increases local food security.

Frustration and relief: A tale...

The message on my office voice mail was pleasant enough. It was from a woman who called to say, in effect, “I dropped off news about an event last week and didn’t see it in this week’s edition. Can you call me back about this?”

I looked for the item before calling her back and, sure enough, it didn’t get in.
