Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor: Ocean’s Eleven was an iconic heist film about the con of the century. The booty was 150 million. That’ll buy seventy multi-million-dollar luxury estates, each with a couple of new Land Rovers parked in the driveway. The 5.3 trillion COVID stimulus dollars that the Washington overseers have exacted from us over the last…
Dear Editor: One of your recent letters aimed to point out the “distinct differences” between Paul Siker and Dave LaRock in the race for 33rd District’s Delegate vote. It did contrast the two candidates, but it misled the big picture. Incumbent LaRock is a reactionary, reflecting his major supporters: the Family Federation of Virginia is a…
Dear Editor: As Purcellville has grown, we have added the necessary infrastructure so our citizens can lead healthy, safe, and rewarding lives. In the time since my family moved to Purcellville, in 2002, I’ve seen the construction of three new schools, three new shopping centers, hundreds of new houses, a new road, among many other…
Dear Editor: Once again election season is upon us and as usual all sorts of promises and charges are flying around. And by now most people have made their minds up about the national political scene and what they believe or don’t believe. But is any of this useful in deciding who to vote for…
Dear Editor: Fellow Virginians, we have seen this movie before, and it doesn’t come with a Hollywood ending. A BS Candidate (Blank Slate) with no record of public service, not one vote ever cast for him, a bio thick on making lots of dough, paper thin on making things happen on behalf of fellow citizens. But he…
Dear Editor: If you honestly care about quality, affordable health care, supporting our children’s education needs and protecting our community’s quality of life, you must vote on Nov. 2 to reelect Wendy Gooditis as Delegate for HD-10. It’s stunning to realize – and challenging to summarize here – just how much Wendy, a mother of…
Dear Editor: Over the past year, Virginians have struggled more and more with a rapidly declining education system, rising property taxes, small business closures, and infringements upon our constitutional rights. We are facing a pivotal choice this election season: to continue down the path of decline that this state has seen, or to put an…
Dear Editor: Let’s get back to good governance and end one party rule in Virginia with this fantastic line up: Glenn Youngkin, is a homegrown Virginian who spent the last 30 years supporting his family, his church and building a successful business. He has the endorsement of the Virginia Law Enforcement Sheriff’s Organization. He supports…
Dear Editor: Whatever you think happened in the 2020 election, lots of folks had doubts based on reports of irregularities from people close to the election process. My Delegate was the only elected person I know who actually took a strong stand to make sure every person could be confident that their vote counted. Democrats…
Dear Editor: Candidate Paul Siker has been critical of Delegate LaRock’s work, but he never gets around to being specific. From LaRock’s website, I see he worked on these things in the last session but was stopped by the Democrat team Siker wants to join. Paul Siker, what’s wrong with LaRock proposing limits on Executive…
