Letter: Move governance forward with a new generation of leaders

The graduating class of 1999 entered higher education as the internet and computing revolution took full command of economic progress and technological innovation. We were deciding our career paths as the Twin Towers fell. We were entering the workforce as the housing market and general economy ...

Letter: Why won’t Trump participate in the Republican debates?

Why would the Republican party allow Donald Trump to be a Republican candidate and represent the party when he refuses to support the party by participating in the Republican candidate debates? And why won't he participate? I wonder if he won't be in the debates because reasonable Republicans ...

This is for all of our State Senators, Secretary, the Judiciary Court, Court of Appeals; including all 3 trial courts. Our Supreme Court, Distric Court & all 3 federal courts. I don't care if it's 1 step or 5 steps from being approved why change it just because there's some crybabies ...

Letter: Modern Republican Party too wrapped up in faith, fealty

The Second Amendment, contrary to Republican belief, is not the Second Commandment. It didn't come down carved in stone from Mt. Sinai insisting that we rush out and buy a military-style assault rifle. Republicans mistakenly confuse the two. They stubbornly refuse to deal with our country's ...

Letter: Despite resistance, Ogden needs renewable energy plan

A couple of weeks ago David Willis published a very dubious piece on the Community Renewable Energy Program (CREP) that was full of errors. Happily, subsequent guest commentaries by Angela Choberka, Dan Dugan and Eli Davis have set the record straight. CREP is not compulsory — it offers a ...

Letter: US must do more to protect schools from cyberattacks

As summer comes to an end and the weather cools down, the back-to-school season raises concerns about our cybersecurity capabilities. Education systems, from K-12 to community colleges and universities, have become a prime target for cybercriminals and hackers. These attacks put personal ...
