Reader's view: It’s time to bring back drivers education class

It’s time for me to whine again — sorry. Apparently, drivers education is not taught in school anymore, and it’s showing. There was a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1983 that claimed drivers education was useless. I disagree.

Reader's view: Did East Hillside arsonist move to West Duluth?

Am I mistaken, or is what’s happening now to the garages in West Duluth very similar to what happened a few short years ago in East Hillside?

Reader's view: Walker will defend the right to bear arms

There has been a lot of discussion concerning the senseless recall election of Wisconsin’s governor, Scott Walker. Most of it has concerned jobs, economics, unions and more.

Reader’s view: Many Lutherans have abandoned ELCA’s left turn PressPass

The April 30 article, “Northland Lutherans oppose Minnesota marriage amendment” was decidedly one-sided and deceptive. The headline and much of the article seemed to indicate that all, if not most, Lutherans are against the amendment.

Reader’s view: Church’s role is to guide congregants PressPass

The writer of the April 22 letter, “Catholic Church now pits people against people,” stated, “My purpose in going to church is to praise and worship the creator, period.”

Reader's view: ELCA position doesn’t represent all Lutherans PressPass

While the Northeastern Minnesota Synod assembly of the ELCA has now established a political position to be made known to its 130 congregations and the public, it by no means represents the members of its own denomination, much less the many other Northland Lutherans who do not belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Reader’s view: Stick to news, please, not the Tea Party agenda PressPass

The seemingly constant pushing of Tea Party politics by the News Tribune worries me.

Reader’s view: ‘High Priest’ of local food will speak at UMD

The April 17 Local View column by Dr. Nancy Sudak and St. Louis County Commissioner Steve O’Neil on improving institutional nutrition practice was most welcome (“Northland hospitals need to put prevention into practice and support nutritious food”). Their examples of what private and government entities have done and should do to make further improvement were excellent.

Reader’s view: IRRRB needs to look past dependency on mining

At an IRRRB “listening session” in Grand Marais, it was made clear to me that Minnesota politicians have developed a very unhealthy dependency on mining dollars, a relationship fostered by our early mining forefathers.

Reader’s view: Vaccinations keep the young and old healthy

April 21-28 is National Infant Immunization Week, a time to thank parents who immunize their children and themselves. They choose to protect not only their own families against serious, life-threatening illnesses but also other children and adults in their communities.

Reader’s view: Two Harbors, Silver Bay students rock in ‘Grease’ PressPass

Want to see an amazing group of young people? Lake Superior Community Theatre is made up of Silver Bay and Two Harbors people putting on “Grease” in the William M. Kelley High School auditorium in Silver Bay. It will run again April 20-21 (lsct.us). These kids rocked!

Reader’s view: UMD student, temporary resident should vote at home PressPass

I read with interest the letter from a University of Minnesota Duluth student on April 12, headlined, “Law would disenfranchise thousands of students.” It was obvious from his own words he does not consider Duluth his home because he said he would have to “make a daylong trip home to simply cast my ballot.” Therefore I would suggest he arrange to get an absentee ballot from his “home” because he is a temporary resident of Duluth.

Reader's view: Duluth school cuts will do more harm than good

What Independent School District 709 did to reduce expenditures, in my opinion, was not the answer (“New round of Duluth schools’ budget cuts runs deep,” March 25). The evidence is in and must be addressed: The cuts will cause more harm than good.

Reader’s view: Duluth School Board ignores city’s struggling taxpayers

The Duluth School Board talks about what children deserve, but what about what us taxpayers who are struggling to make ends meet deserve? Don’t we deserve a School Board that won’t overspend and mismanage to the point it keeps making things harder and harder for us to survive?

Reader’s view: City could get by with used office furniture

The thought of spending $90,000 on new office furniture for City Hall during these economic times indicates a lack of common sense by city of Duluth administrators (“Council approves $90,000 furniture purchase,” March 27).
