Editor: When did it become the responsibility for the United States of America to provide food, clothing and shelter to all the poor people of Mexico and Central and Couth America? We have homeless persons in all of our major cities here in the U.S. so we don’t need to take in more until we
Editor: Just a note in support of the current tax increase request from the local hospital. The need for the local hospital is great. Especially in view of the many older folks that do not have the ability to go out of town for quality health care. The loss of our hospital would be detrimental
