LETTER: Miller is reckless with the truth
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Miller is reckless with the truth To the editor: While watching [TV], I saw Don Miller’s commercial berating Al Stirpe for raising taxes in Cicero that adversely affected the people in his district. There is not one ounce of truth in the remarks that were approved by Mr. MIller’s campaign. Mr. Miller must really need a job to stoop to such low standards to try to ruin a man’s reputation for a few votes.

LETTER: Shooting coyotes in Salina is not the answer
Shooting coyotes in Salina is not the way to solve a problem. The Town of Salina is considering the very real possibility of allowing the local nuisance control person(s) to kill coyotes in the town by gun. This would be done on residential properties, jeopardizing homes and citizens. There is information available and offered by true experts on “coyote issues” refuting the information being given to the Town by local nuisance control people. There is the added cruelty element of killing any animal during breeding season, condemning its young to death by predation, starvation/dehydration and suffering. And who is to say that the alleged “problem coyote” will actually be the target?
