LETTER: Teacher did good

I read the newspaper article about Carol Smith with great dismay. I am writing in support of a veteran teacher who was instrumental in influencing my sons and granddaughters who have since graduated from Perkins High School.

LETTER: Monaghan for better times

I urge my friends and neighbors to vote for Bill Monaghan on May 4. Bill has done an excellent job as our commissioner. He has kept services going without borrowing money or raising our taxes. He has worked hard to bring jobs to Erie County. He has reached out to Huron, Ottawa and Lorain counties to find better ways to work together.

LETTER: Keep Monaghan

The Nov. 4 election asks you to deploy the best person for the task of stabilizing our county resources and capture momentum in developing NASA, the U.S. 250 corridor and the expansion of sewer lines as a springboard for jobs. We have all faced a challenging year, and we have each probably made some painful choices. Now is not the time to change leadership.

REGISTER VIEWPOINT: Primary colors Erie County's future

Primary elections. Yawn. That's what most of us seem to think, anyway; Americans' dismayingly low voter turnouts are even lower for primary contests. Who wants to watch the prelims when the championship bout is on the way? But this time, at least in Erie County, the real contest is in the primaries.
