  • LETTER: School overcrowding a serious issue in Brighton

    Editor:

    Isn’t it a concern for anyone that our schools are filled to the maximum or over? Why are new schools not being built to alleviate the congestion? More and more houses keep popping up bringing more people to Brighton making schools dangerously over-crowded! The high school is populated so that my son can’t see in between people in the hallways. Isn’t being packed like sardines a hazard and risk everyone should worry about? God forbid a fire happens! There would likely be injuries and/or death from the stampeding!

    Editor:

    Words can’t express the thankfulness that we felt during this extremely difficult time in our lives. We realized how much our family and friends really mean to us since dad’s cancer treatments and mom’s recent heart attack. Thank you very much for your extremely generous donations to our parents.

    On Monday, Feb. 24, our 68-year-old dad, who suffers from dementia, decided that he was going to “hitch a ride home.”

  • LETTER: Still no vote, yet more taxes

    Editor:

    I believe it is fair and reasonable to question the integrity of any elected official who misuses and abuses their power to take money from its citizens without first asking permission.

  • LETTER: Government growth? Greed? Recall?

    Editor,

    I recently attended a meeting at the county in which the commissioners were to decide the future of the infamous non-voter-approved ‘stormwater tax.’ The same tax, imposed in 2013 on all 27,500 unincorporated property owners, that is removing more than $2 million from our pockets and economy and placing it in the hands of government for two reasons:  

    Government growth and greed!
