Letters to the Editor for May 2
The land-grant mission is just as relevant today as they were when they were first established in law. The next president will have the opportunity to restore the University of Arizona’s reputation as a top-land grant university, exhibit excellence in world class research to solve the real-w…
By all objective standards, Pima County’s criminal justice system is a complete failure. County prosecutors are unable to resolve cases at a proper rate to meet the justice standards set forth by the state.
In response to the letter “Trump is denied the right to campaign,” it is important to note that Mr. Trump has been indicted and is required [a matter of U.S. Constitutional law] to attend his trial. President Biden is free to “fly around the country campaigning” because he has not broken the…

Climate is the most important issue facing mankind/Tucsonkind and I cringe to see so many other opinions and LTEs published to the exclusion of climate submissions---mine included--that never see the light of day. I mean how could the Star not publish whatever it is I send in, don't they und…

For Democrat readers who dispute that NPR is a liberal Progressive operated broadcast, I suggest you read long time Editor Berliner's scathing essay about it. Former NPR employee Juan Williams, a liberal, confirmed Berliner's information and said it was even worse working there. He was fired…
I read the article on the University of Arizona posting No Trespassing signs on the mall to keep protesters off the mall, but I wonder why UA Administrators didn't simply establish policies about anyone camping on University property? The easiest solution is to arrest everyone that is improp…

Today I was disappointed to read in the Tucson paper the following quote from Adrian Perez, representing both the Tucson and International groups producing our annual Mariachi Conference.

Imagine my surprise, finding a Ben's Bell hanging over a stairwell to an office building on River and Campbell as I walked up the stairs to work. There was a tag on it that read, in both English and Spanish " You have found a Ben's Bell. Take it home, hang it and remember to spread kindness …
Capitalism produces far more wealth than socialism. However, unregulated capitalism always ends up as winner takes all, as was the case during the Gilded Age.
Everyone eligible to vote should read the interview with Donald Trump in Time Magazine. If you have any doubts about what 4 more years of Trump would mean, this should clarify it for sure. A few of the things he has in mind are allowing states to monitor women's pregnancies, mass deportation…
Former Governor Ducey and the Republican-led legislature in 2022 passed tax cuts then implemented, after voters rejected, universal ESA vouchers. Now, Gov. Hobbs is left to clean up the $1.8 billion dollar budget deficit mess.
My friend, Matt Somers in his letter to the editor uses the sham of Reggie Bush and the return of the Heisman Trophy once awarded to him then taken away for justifiable reasons. He goes on to accuse the Heisman Trust of tainting college sports to the point; why should we bother to watch or c…

What is happening on college campuses is morally repugnant, politically stupid and continues to perpetuate the narrative that elite universities have been hijacked by the far left.
University campuses have long been the focus of political protests and demonstrations. In recent weeks, students galvanized by their consciences have been leading an anti-war movement the likes of which hasn't been seen in the U.S. in decades -- and it is spreading like wildfire. At last count, at least 100 encampments have been launched at colleges and universities.
