Letters to the Editor
Editor, Many thanks to those who have pitched in to make Polson look especially sharp this spring. For example: – Our own Flathead Lake monster is now “swimming” in her own bright blue sea in Sacagawea Park. I watched a little girl (and heard her laugh) as she climbed on the bronze statue just as Pat Binger, whose generosity made the “monster” a reality, envisioned. – Delaney’s Landscaping has once again planted a bed of hot pink petunias to cover the traffic island at the intersection of Highways 35 and 93. – The Memorial Garden at the east end of Ducharme Park on Highway 93 has been totally transformed because of the redesi...
Editor, Senator Daines wants to grow our economy and support the strongest innovation ecosystem in the world. In order to meet these goals, the Senate must keep the clean energy tax credits in the budget bill. Don’t take my word for it. Here is what John Ketchum, CEO of NextEra Energy-the nation&...
Editor I’m reversing what I wrote. President Trump is doing what he was elected to do. He is trying to make America great again. If the president feels that he needs to mobilize the national guard during a crisis then he should be allowed to. So President Trump keep up the good work. Lynn Deleca...
Editor, “You may say I’m a dreamer…but I’m not the only one…” (John Lennon). Need some good news? Here you go: Most people still support: the Constitution, the Statue of Liberty, free speech, the 4th Estate, separation of church and state, separation of power...
Editor, I’m just wondering why should the American taxpayers have to pay for the president’s 79th birthday in Washington D.C. on Saturday the 14th of June? During his campaign Trump told the American voters that his administration would look for abuse fraud and waste within the federal governm...
Editor, Our president, Donald J. Trump, has been living a life involved in practicing and promoting human negative attitudes. These involve behavior involving anger, fear, launching personal attacks, and blaming others for your own problems. We the People have the ability and power to counter all this ...
Editor, In our rural state, public broadcasting is extremely popular - and important. Many of us make long drives and do our work to NPR programming: music, talk shows, history and science shows, a variety of podcasts, local programming, local weather, balanced and informative news - whether state, local ...
Editor, Today’s Valley Journal (May 7) mentioned “infrastructure investment at MT State Prison.” To my way of thinking an investment is something that gives you returns of some sort in the future. It might be money, it might be saving money, it might be preventing problems down the...
Editor, Is anyone else bothered by the lack of cleanup at the 7th & 7th east construction site in Polson? It looks pretty crappy. The project has been completed now for about 3 weeks. I waited about a week before sending an email to the City of Polson Public Works department, requesting to have the tw...
Editor, On Saturday, April 26th, I participated in a “We the People Rally” at the intersection of Highway 35 and 93 in Polson. There were about 45 of us with signs and drummers. The weather was glorious and we received a lot of positive responses along with a few middle fingers. The oddest and...
