Letters to the Editor for May 6
Tamal veto is racismWe see plenty of racism and racially motivated decisions from our mostly white Republican legislators, in most cases with expectation and no illusions.
For Hobbs to reject that reveals her lack of respect for a culture that was here long before she was and that must still struggle with white dominion.A possible solutionIn 2018 TEP convinced voters that a mandate for renewable energy would raise rates.Now TEP is back in front of the voters threatening voters that if they go against TEP on 412, a premature renewal of the TEP franchise, rates will go up.
Let’s hear those words again: “The corporation commission shall have full power to, and shall, prescribe just and reasonable classifications … and make and enforce reasonable rules, regulations, and orders for the convenience, comfort, and safety, and the preservation of the health, of the employees and patrons of such corporations … incorporated cities and towns may be authorized by Law to exercise supervision over public service corporations … .
Mass shootings no longer are the purview of white males. I think the cause of this violence is not guns, but people. Lay a firearm on a kitchen counter and command it to commit a mass shooting. It will not! It takes a deprived human being to do that. I would argue that Democrat policies have lead to the demise of morality, respect for life, destruction of the nuclear family, fatherless homes, and lack of personal responsibility. Societal factors causing these mass shootings.
Of course, TEP is opposed to any change. With no competition, why would TEP lower rates? Or protect customers from skyrocketing gas prices, up 300% since 2019? TEP has no incentive to transition rapidly to cheaper, renewable energy. It passes all costs onto customers. Its profits are guaranteed-and we pay the price.
Nowadays, gun violence impacts disproportionately minority Hispanic and Black residents. Morbid white conservative fears of minority gun violence spilling into their home areas keeps NRA-Republicans elected. The higher the minority gun death rate, the more fearful white people vote Republican. So why should any Republicans try to end mass shootings when they benefit politically from them?
