The Shadow watching public officials

What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.

Octopus mural should have stayed

I do not agree with the letter from Carla Carrico in the April 21 paper regarding the octopus mural.

Rethink changes to Rose Street

I second the letters to the editor against reconfiguring Rose Street. Repave it, nothing more.

Follow the money for answers

Regarding Steve Singleton’s critique of my May 15 column on global warming, I think I set a higher standard for my sources than he apparently sets for his. I suggest the public follow the money before deciding who is “gullible” or “financially-motivated.”

R-74 assurances were just rhetoric

In the run-up to the vote last November, all were assured that only goodness and niceness would result if Referendum 74 were approved.

Those who waste tax money should be replaced

While our city planners continue to cry they need to collect more taxes just to cover the cost of normal maintenance, they continue with these grand designs that are full of unnecessary and expensive items that we don’t want or need.

Webster’s definition of gullible is “easily cheated or tricked.” The biggest example of gullibility today is demonstrated by those who believe beyond doubt that human-generated CO2 drives global warming “climate change.”

Celebrate Earth Day today

April is Earth Month, and Sustainable Walla Walla invites you to check out our website (sustainableww.org) for information on how you can become more eco-friendly.

Repave Rose Street and leave out turn lane

I would like to commend the Walla Walla City Council on its decision to repair Rose Street. It is long overdue.

U-B decision on photo selection was poor

I understand the Union-Bulletin is a local paper that often places great value on local news and photos over larger, more national news stories. I respect that, even if I don’t always agree with the choices.

Tractor-trailers on Rose Street need many lanes

Living near Rose Street, I have hardly ever seen a cyclist using any part of the street. There is an excellent path along Rose Street already.

It’s time to scare the NRA

Since the election we have learned about the changing demographics in our country (more diversity in our future) and the static demographics of the Republican Party (lots of older, white faces). That uneven dynamic is having a powerful impact on the gun-control debate.
