Let me say right up front that I have no medical expertise whatsoever. I depend entirely on others with medical expertise to provide insight and direction. I have managed to survive for almost 70 years now but that is only helpful in qualifying sources of information.
Arizona is going into the third year of a pandemic which has devastated small business, overwhelmed the healthcare system and its workers, and still has schools trying to figure out ways to stay open safely for teachers and students. Instead of using legislative energy and resources to deal …
It’s a bit ironic that Sen. Wendy Rogers would support the Oath Keepers especially as she appears unable to keep her own oaths, either as an officer in the Air Force or as an elected official for the State of Arizona. As a State Senator, she solemnly swore to support the Constitution of the …
I sit here on Martin Luther King Day, after reading three letters to the editor yesterday, all defending or condemning actions of our mayor and a fellow councilmember. I call on the spirit of Dr. King to encourage all of us to reset.
The people who most directly impact daily life in Arizona are meeting again. The Arizona Legislature has started its 2022 session. Republicans propose and pass bills with a razor-thin majority in both chambers. Last year, instead of seeking bipartisan support for their most extreme bills, th…
To whom it may concern,
I sent this letter to Sen. Sinema today.
Under the heading Arizona Voices on Jan. 14, a California anti-hunting organization made several misleading comments about Arizona’s mountain lions and hunting in general. The writer used the anti-hunting catch phrase -- trophy hunting -- several times without defining the term.
Ecologists have long known that diversity is essential to the health of the natural world. Each species plays a particular role (niche) in recycling matter and funneling energy though a bio-community. Without diversity at the organism and species level, biotic communities would cease to exist.
I am writing to express my opinions regarding CDC guidelines released on Dec. 27 that help us take appropriate exposure and quarantine actions, as well as recent reactions to Mayor Deasy’s positive COVID result.
A Navy veteran, I moved our family to Flagstaff in 1968. I have a long-standing and abiding interest in the kind of state that I will be leaving to my daughters and grandchildren. When:
I am compelled to write this letter because I feel some clarification is necessary regarding the special city council meeting that took place on Thursday, Jan 6. In particular, I was very disturbed by the personal attacks that were immediately put forth by the mayor against Councilmember Aslan.
I am appalled with Councilmember Aslan’s statements in the Daily Sun article “Mayor Deasy tests positive for COVID,” attacking Mayor Deasy with misinformation that is dangerous for our community. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows Mayor Deasy was forthcoming of a known exposure far ear…
On Jan. 2, Arizona Daily Sun reported that “Republicans eye repealing, replacing AZ tax cuts,” a tactical maneuver to avoid the >163,000 citizen referendum signatures that would stop the tax cuts and have more state money go to public schools. By repealing their own tax cuts -- and then p…
The Daily Sun has reported a few times in the last year about Lowell Observatory’s most recent efforts to remove congressional protections from the 615-acre parcel of land that Lowell Observatory owns on Observatory Mesa known as Section 17. The article, “City of Flagstaff Year in Review: Ta…
As the State of Arizona is on pace to collect a huge surplus in revenue, nearly $2 billion, the Arizona State Legislature is looking to once again give the wealthy a huge windfall. (Republicans eye repealing, replacing huge Arizona tax cuts, 1/4/22, AZ Daily Sun) Ignoring a voter referendum …
Like Parker Anderson (letter, 1/2/22), I too was surprised not to see more letters in the Daily Sun regarding Barnes & Noble's departure. Flagstaff is a university town and one would think that such a bookstore would be treasured, but I was wrong. Apparently the demand for used clothing …
We would like to express appreciation to all our neighbors who helped in the 40th annual Christmas Luminarias evening display. We were glad that the candles could light the way once more for all to enjoy. This is a neighborhood event, put on by neighbors, for neighbors, and is primarily a wa…
I don't think I've ever written a letter to an editor before, not one that I have ever gotten real results from.
As an observer of the Holly Jones hearing last August, I was encouraged to see an update to your previous article. I would like to add a few facts that need to be addressed.
Now that we have learned that Sen. Sinema has received over half a million dollars from Big Pharma and Sen. Manchin makes millions each year from his coal properties, we wonder if those dollars lead to them being against drug price reduction and climate change initiatives, respectively. Perh…
I agree that arresting the parents of school children will send a strong message. I can’t wait for some of the gangbanger parents to be arrested. However, there are some points that professor Densley missed in the opinion piece you printed.
I fully agree with the writer about the importance of preserving historic buildings, and the relevance of the district, downtown. However I do not agree with all of the points she raised about the residences I am building on Dale Ave.
One in 10 Arizonans live with diabetes. I’m one of them. I’ve lived with diabetes since I was 11 years old. First I saw my parents struggle to afford the cost of insulin, and then I had to deal with that myself. It’s always in the back of my mind, and I’m constantly having to make decisions …
