Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor: People in high places and with significant influence have, without credible substantiation, called into question the integrity of the locally directed American election system beginning with the 2020 election. This is exceptionally unfortunate and very serious, with democracy-ruining consequences, which can now easily find expression in the November elections right here in our own Loudoun County.…
Dear Editor: In a recent public forum with challenger Hung Cao, Rep. Jennifer Wexton said, “The biggest thing we can do is pay someone a living wage.” She also said Democrats have made higher wages a priority. U.S. workers got higher wages, all right. But the Democrats had nothing to do with it. Those wage…
Dear Editor: Shame on your publication for publishing a letter to the editor last month endorsing Hung Cao, and it is nothing more than a free political advertisement for Hung Cao, candidate for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District. It included the typical objection that government needs to stay out of businesses and homes. But the leading plank…
Dear Editor: After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark pro-abortion case Roe v. Wade in June, Loudoun County School Board member Atoosa Reaser and Loudoun County Board Supervisor Juli Briskman took to the streets with other women to protest the decision. Nothing wrong with that until you see the two of them appear in…
Dear Editor: Has anyone seen Wexton? When? Where? Wexton wasn’t at our July 4th parade. She wasn’t at our County Fair. Her district office is always closed. She never shows up for anything. I heard rumor that Wexton was spotted not too long ago taking an all-expense paid congressional junket to the Far East. Must…
Dear Editor: Hung Cao’s policies are simple: Government needs to stay out of our businesses and out of our homes. Businesses and residents in the 10th Congressional District are suffering under the weight of historic inflation inflicted on us by the current administration’s policies that have chipped away at our prosperity. The so-called $1.9 trillion…
Dear Editor: On July 26, I attended a Purcellville Town Council meeting to better understand current traffic and safety issues. Little did I know I was walking into a forum that would display a pitiful political stunt that is seen way too often at the national level right before my eyes in small town Purcellville,…
Dear Editor: Hung Cao has once again met the enemy, but this time the enemy is the domestic kind. Cao, a retired US Navy Captain—who swore an oath “to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”—has previously met the enemy—the foreign kind—in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia, and his…
Dear Editor: Starting in the spring of 2023 West Virginia plans to close Rt. 340 at the VA/WV state line for at least 90 days to complete a Rock Slide Repair Project. The WVDOT had three options: a total closure, one lane with traffic lights at either end to allow for alternating traffic, or two…
Dear Editor: When a taxpayer and long-term resident of Loudoun County sends a letter of concern to a County official about a proposed development in their neighborhood, is it common practice for that letter to be forwarded to the developer’s consulting engineer? It wouldn’t seem so, but this is what we experienced. Just up the…
