Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Arizona Daily Star.
I take great exception to Jay Ambrose’s op-ed describing shooters as, “tear-soaked womanish wimps.” The pejorative use of “womanish “ to describe a mental monster is deeply insulting to females. The women I know are strong amazing people.
The headline said that three people had been killed in a shooting in Tulsa. My first thought was “Only three?” My reaction is a discredit to me, but I am sure that I was not alone. There have been so many mass shootings that an attack killing four innocents barely seems newsworthy. We must take action. Requiring universal background checks and banning sales of military weapons to civilians are necessary first steps.
Promoting law and order, he hired an outstanding new police chief, four new officers, increased the police department’s budget, and brought our police pension fund up to 100%. Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution states that the function of militias is “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel Invasions.”
It is with concern I read in the June 9 edition that the Arizona Corporation Commission chairwoman wants to hold opaque meetings with industry. Serving in public office is supposed to be serving the public. Arizona has an open meeting law supporting this principle.
