Today's Opinions

  • Letters to the Editor:

     Dear Mr. Gray:

  • Governor’s power of eminent domain needs limitations

           In case you missed it, our governor is meddling with the state’s right of eminent domain or, in other words, their ability to take your land away from you and give it to another private party to make money with.

  • Starting a household budget

          Starting a household budget and sticking to it is analogous to living a health-conscious lifestyle. Just as exercise and a good diet are needed to stay physically healthy, wise spending and living within your means are needed to stay financially healthy. With a bit of discipline and an eye to keeping records, you'll find it easy to live on a budget.

  • At some point cutting back can do harm

           Although usually applicable to taxation issues, the Law of Diminishing Returns means that once you pass a certain point in anything you do that seems pleasurable, the pleasure diminishes. Eat ice cream to a point and the pleasure in eating more diminishes rapidly.

          It is often true that just a few votes per ward can change the outcome of an election.

         However, voting affects more than the election at hand.  

         There are many other gains associated with voting, including political, community, health, expressive, economic and even altruistic benefits. 

  • Plunging stock market affect retirement plans

       Most people who are in their mid to upper 60s have planned for retirement for some time. Individuals who did not and who put all of their faith into social security or even pensions being their post-employment salvation may have turned to other investments to create a sizeable retirement nest egg. Now that they’re thinking of saying good-bye to work, people are finding that nest egg has diminished thanks to the failing economy and plummeting stock market.

  • Announcing a new product: the newspaper

         Recently, at a National Press Club event, former USA Today editor, Ken Paulson imparted an interesting perspective into the perceived collapse of the newspaper industry. His remarks were as follows:

         “I can certainly understand why newspapers are not viewed as trendy. After all, they were really the IPods of 1690.

  • Meet the candidates section inside today’s issue
