Letters to the Editor for Feb. 15
Keep free transit faresLast year, I received a tax credit for the purchase of a plug-in hybrid. Thanks, Uncle Sam! But wait… there’s a problem with this government largess — my plug-in hybrid is still a car. It erodes the streets, contributes to congestion, takes up parking, and has the potential to cause damage and injury.
Free fares reduce traffic and thus the cost to maintain and expand roadways. Free fares are a blessing to low-income workers and to the elderly on fixed incomes. Free fares are worth keeping!Far-right groups exposedDuring the 60's and 70's we had the far-right political group the"John Birch Society." Then in 2009, the"Tea Party" was created, another far-right Group. Then in 2016 forward, we had the"MAGA" group formed.
Please keep up the pressure; we have your backs. And relish that you have what we didn’t: a city council and mayor who care about the changing climate and the devastating impact it poses for the most fragile and needful among us. HAWK light stands for “High-intensity Activated Crosswalk” crossings. Once activated, lights flash yellow preparing drivers to stop, then bright red, stopping drivers as pedestrians cross . Finally then flashing red, signaling drivers to proceed only after fully stopping and insuring pedestrians have made it safely across! I know there are snowbirds and new drivers in Tucson, but all of us need to know “Rules of the Road” when we get or renew our drivers license.
