Letters to the Editor for March 14.
Horne and religious freedomI was dismayed that people had forgotten Tom Horne’s previous stint as superintendent of education and voted for him again last November. I had hoped he would quietly disappear after his campaign malfeasance in 2017 . When he previously was superintendent of education, he destroyed Mexican American studies programs for local high schoolers, made numerous racist statements and publicly supported sex offenders. People must have short memories.
These programs can create $2,343 in tax credits for individuals and $4,683 for joint returns. This means that individual incomes up to $82,747 and joint incomes up to $165,425 would owe no state income taxes if these tax credits are properly applied, which includes the contributions not being deducted on the federal return. These tax credit programs allow taxpayers to send their “tax” money to the organizations they choose instead of letting politicians decide how to spend it.
We hesitate to drive on I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix because of outdated medians and the dangerous conditions they create for motorists.Fentanyl problemRe: the March 12 article “The fentanyl problem is ours, not Mexico’s” Walgreens seems to be asleep now that it has decided to stop dispensing the abortion pill mifepristone in 20 red states. Mifepristone has been a legal, FDA-approved drug for 23 years, and Walgreens should provide it to their customers as a pharmacy! The attorneys general in these red states bullied Walgreens with threats. This is clearly more government overreach, which conservatives used to cry against constantly.
For my wife and myself, it is. We are both healthy. We take advantage of the Giveback provision that reduces our Medicare premium by $3,000 annually. We each order over-the-counter supplies for $80 every quarter. Use the free gym membership four or five times each week. Our prescriptions and PCP copays are $0. Traditional Medicare requires 20% copays for doctor’s appointments. Prescription reimbursements are not included in traditional Medicare.
