  • LETTER: More facts needed about SQ 766

    To the Editor:
    Oklahomans should demand the truth from the coalition supporting S.Q. 766.  Unfortunately, this coalition has decided to attack Oklahoma judges rather than address the devastating cuts S.Q. 766 imposes on public schools, career technology centers and county government.

    Section 8 housing is in need of tighter restrictions and reform. Our entitlement programs have become overused and abused to the point that it is costing us more than we ever realized.

  • Behenna deserves second chance

    To the Editor:
    The paradox of war — death, sadness, love, happiness — is not by choice. The controversy over Lt. Michael Behenna’s imprisonment for actions while sacrificing his honor and duty during combat offers no explanation for what is right or wrong.

  • Hinkle right on target about government largesse

    To the Editor:
    I always enjoy reading Mike Hinkle’s commentaries, but the one on “Government largesse” from July 21, 2012, was a gem.

  • Reader: Andy Griffith shined a light on America’s best values

    To the Editor:
    Another American icon has departed. Andy Griffith, star of TV and movies, humorist, guitarist, singer, was a guy everyone thought they knew. It’s almost like losing a family member.
