Letters to the Editor for Jan. 15
Arizona/Mexico borderPresident Biden finally decided to make an effort to find the Mexican border. Someone must have told him that his visit to Phoenix on Dec. 6 did not count as a border visit. He was justifiably confused because when he was first elected to public office in the 1850s, the border was in fact just outside of Phoenix prior to the Gadsden Purchase. It was an honest mistake: come on man, cut him some slack.Vouchers aren’t silver bulletRe: The Jan.
As long as RTA, and by extension RTA Next, underrepresents residents of Tucson, giving them only the same voting power as Marana residents , refuses to allow members of the Citizens Advisory Committee to openly voice their opinions, refuses to immediately make needed changes to Tucson projects, and fails to rein in the power of its executive director, RTA Next should and will fail at the polls.
We all need to take heed and realize this is a problem that will not disappear, but only magnify as the population grows in this part of the country.Ballot harvestingRe: the Dec. 22 letter “How to win an election.” I believe it is a symptom of the aggrieved politics of today to throw rocks without doing the hard part, thinking. It is also too easy to believe they are crooks, rather than trying to understand why they are agreeing to this or that. There are good public servants and bad ones as well.Migrant bussingHere’s an idea. Why don’t the cities where the migrants are bussed to confiscate the buses and fine the owners an amount equal to the cost of replacing one with a new one of the same specifications.
The author is right. Green energy needs copper. Copper that Southern Arizona has been providing for over a century and continues to do so.
