  • LETTER: Reader wants trash ordinance enforced along I-35

    To the Editor:

  • Section 8 housing needs reform

    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. The Section 8 Reform, Responsibility and Accountability Act is something that all of us with the power to vote need to encourage our representatives in Congress to stand behind.

  • Behenna deserves second chance

    To the Editor:

  • 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.

  • Physician questions health care changes

    To the Editor:
    I have been a physician for 42 years and can certainly attest that the health system is broken. I do not know if the current health care plan will fix it or not nor do I know how to fix it.

  • Reader: Solutions exist to Oklahoma’s cancer problem

    To the Editor:
    Cancer has touched nearly all of our lives. Most of us have been impacted directly by this terrible disease. Cancer places an extraordinary burden in our state, affecting one of three Oklahomans during our lifetime.

  • Reader wonders when government intrusion will stop

    The Supreme Court has in my mind just joined in the assault on our Constitution and trampled the Tenth Amendment and the entire concept of federalism that was so deeply debated at the founding of this great experiment in liberty.
