Sound Off for March 6
It was very gratifying to see Ms. Barbara Dumas-Marshall remove her name from consideration to become an SRHS trustee to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Too bad the same can't be said of County Supervisor Melton Harris, who wanted to "test the law."
Why is it?
Can anyone tell me why good teachers and good principals leave school districts? Other than retirement, what is it?
A state issue?
OK, one more time. It is the state flag in question, and any changes should go through the state.
He said what?
I know the Ruskies can't wait for Trump to call Putin "Little Vladimir."
Hats off to Nardi
On the eve of his retirement, I would like to thank Glen Nardi for is leadership of the Sun Herald for the last several years. This newspaper is one of the best I've been exposed to during my 78 years, and yes, I have been many places. Glen, thank you and good luck in the future.
Compelling evidence
Republican Party figures are lining up to denounce Trump because he "doesn't represent what the party stands for." It appears to the contrary, that the party has lost track of what its voters stand for. There is compelling evidence of that lost connection. His name is Donald John Trump.
Stop saying that
I wish the news media would stop saying the "Republican establishment" wants to stop Donald Trump, even though the voters support him. Some voters support Trump, but I am a voter too. I do not and will never support Donald Trump.
He is waiting
For about 40 years now we've been hearing all these predictions about the impending certain doom of "climate change" or "global warming." Rising sea levels, extinction of polar bears, drastic rise in global temperatures. Can anyone tell me, out of the hundreds of predictions, even one of real significance that has actually come to fruition and that can be proven beyond any doubt? Just one. I'll be waiting.
Value of a dollar
As a veteran and a plumber for 25 years, I don't like watching politicians take my taxes and give it away to ensure their way of life. Then they tell me my social security is running out before I ever see it. The VA tells me I wasn't 100 percent service connected after 10 years and two wars. Really? I'm for Trump. At least he knows the value of a dollar. By the way, get out of the left lane. I am working for a living.
