Letters to the Editor

On 8/24 you voted for a resolution to continue discussion of the Reconciliation bill.

Has anyone else noticed the current state of the Covid-19 directives?

While Susan Wahlke voted to waste over $200,000 of our tax dollars on false ethics charges against mayor Williams and a private investigator to snoop into the lives of citizens whose only crimes were having publicly met with the mayor to discuss their concerns, Don kept working for us.

I am writing to heartily endorse Susan Wahlke to be the next mayor of Lincoln City.

There are some good candidates running for the Lincoln City mayor's office, but Susan Wahlke stands out as a candidate with the necessary experience, a strong work ethic and the institutional knowledge necessary to foster good governance.

I've been reading and hearing from several well-respected citizens of Lincoln City about why they prefer one of the four remaining candidates for Mayor to be decided in our May 18 special election.

This city needs to have a new voice for Mayor.

I am writing to express my support for Councilor Riley Hoagland, who will bring a fresh perspective and new energy at a crucial time for our community.

A writer has said he and others have not been satisfied with the last two Mayors and if we, perhaps, would pay a Mayor we might have a better result.

Many Lincoln City residents, including me, feel that we haven’t had much luck with our past two Mayors. Maybe if we offered some sort of salary, we could do better?

Why do large, profitable corporations pay such low wages that their employees are eligible for and must rely on federal anti-poverty programs just to make ends meet?

Oregon, is going to tax your EIP COVID-19 payments from 2020. Now, you say, what about the money I received in 2021?

My mom is 92 and has bouts with bronchitis, so I figured when Gov. Brown announced seniors would soon be getting the COVID-19 vaccine, mom would be at the head of the line.

Whatever your political affiliation and views, the election craze is going to be over in what's now a matter of hours.

I just this minute have had enough of the doom and gloom COVID narrative.

County Commissioner Claire Hall is the best thing that has happened to Lincoln County.

Although I am a registered Libertarian, I am crossing party lines and will vote for Kim Thatcher enthusiastically.

I have learned today, that Lincoln City does not recognize Columbus Day -- a federal holiday our parents and grandparents have recognized for decades.

Anne Marie has no allegiance to any people other than those she represents.

Like many of my friends, I have long been concerned about the Republicans' repeated abandonment of their responsibilities by fleeing the capitol to hide from votes they are afraid of losing.
