Letters to the Editor for July 24
5th & 6th St. wideningThis morning I noticed that one of our city’s buses going west on 6th Street took up almost the entire outside traffic lane creating a pretty tight squeeze in the inside lane for passing vehicles also heading west.
The letter writer recently wrote a letter full of misinformation. I am 78 years old, and my husband is 86, and we recently bought a fully electric vehicle . President Joe Biden did not “force us to buy.” The new car was $32,000 , and we received a $7,500 government rebate. It does not “take a long time” to charge; it fully charges in 40 minutes, and the charge lasts for 270 miles. We no longer buy gas. The parts and materials are all made in the USA, which is why there is such a generous rebate.
PM2.5 is particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers or less, a major component of smog, comes from vehicle exhaust and power plants, can be deeply inhaled and has links to heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, asthma, visibility problems, and premature death. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable. There is no safe level of exposure to PM2.5.
The letter writer railed against equal opportunity saying Democrats want “equal income, equal housing, and equal retirement income, regardless of desire, ability, drive, or experience.” He claims equal leads to mediocrity and the dumbing down of education. He ends by saying we should fix the school system by “educating students to their maximum capacity.” This is already the goal of Arizona public schools.
Legislative District 17 Senator Justine Wadsack’s Op-Ed was a fantasy of fake numbers regarding inflation and the economy and sounded more like campaign propaganda.She has sought to criminalize homelessness , attacked drag shows and sought to revoke Tucson’s city charter , among other idiocies that do not help govern our state.
