Letters to the Editor for Feb. 12
DecorumRegarding President Biden’s recent State of the Union address, it is amazing how many members of Congress took leave of their senses and, therefore, forgot their sense of decorum during the president’s address. It might help for all members of Congress to hear the words of Mahatma Gandhi: “Intolerance, discourtesy and harshness ... are taboo in all good society and are surely contrary to the spirit of democracy.”RecyclingRe: the Feb.

Arizona seniors have long been taken advantage of by drug manufacturers setting high prices for life-saving medications. Provisions in the IRA take power from price gougers, saving us money and our lives.

It is far past time for the Republicans to do more for Arizonans.I’ve heard it said that today’s Republican Party is not your parent’s Republican Party. That’s an understatement, and I don’t understand why the press continues to refer to today’s Republicans as conservative.
