Tucson Speaks Out: June 19 letters of the day
Letters to the Editor for June 19
Arizona opinion: How the Biden administration has delivered for caregivers like me
The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
Local opinion: Public safety at Issue in County Attorney race
When I left in March of 2021 there were over 70 prosecutors handling the thousands of cases brought to the office by law enforcement each year. Today that number hovers around 40.
Local opinion: Rich alumni and local business owners: We don't care about your opinion of the University
My message to those rich alumni and local business owners who are being begged to write softball pieces for the University of Arizona’s administration: stop humiliating yourselves and showing how disconnected from the community you really are.

Local opinion: Let's finish the job on cancer-center bathroom door openers
Because I have been working on this for more than 2 1/2 years, I am not about to leave it unfinished. And, because the Cancer Center has been at its current location for more than a decade, automatic door openers should have been installed on every bathroom long ago.
Local opinion: In support of sustaining Gen Z's future in the desert
Mitigating carbon emissions requires looking at the most environmentally friendly options in transportation and residential sectors, and Gen Z is leading with action, not just words.

Jonah Goldberg: The Supreme Court's role in our partisan polarization has been greatly exaggerated
Conventional wisdom suggests the Supreme Court, like the country, is deeply divided along partisan and ideological lines. But this overlooks the court's historic recent run of unanimous decisions and the fact that the liberal and conservative justices often don't vote as blocs.
Milwaukee voters react to Trump ‘horrible’ remark about city
Former PresidentDonald Trump proclaimed his love for Milwaukee, less than a week after he reportedly called the city “horrible” during a meeting with House Republicans.CNN’s Gary Tuchman asked Milwaukee residents what they think about Trump and his comments.
Letter: What Is An Arizona Conservative
I've noticed on those annoying election signs that a lot of Republicans like to tout themselves as conservative. After living for 10 years in Arizona, I've finally figured out what constitutes an Arizona conservative. At best, they are willing to put up with bad roads, abysmally paid teacher…
Letter: Aha! moment
Trump's defense hinged on the proposition that the checks given to Cohen were retainer fees.
Letter: Fusion power fairy tales
Columnist Mort Rosenblum has reporting experience, but he needs to learn more about nuclear fusion (June 2). His nuclear neighbors in France have their own dog in the fight, but maybe they could help him understand that fusion is not simply "the reverse of fission". Fusion produces plenty of…
Letter: Fighting Fascism Again
80 years ago, brave young men charged the beaches of Normandy knowing that they may never see their homes and families again. They did it for democracy and freedom. They did it to beat back Hitler and his Nazi fascists who had invaded the free countries of Europe.
Letter: Mouthy Women Speak Out in November
Royce White, a Republican who is running to unseat Amy Klobucher in Minnesota, told Steve Bannon that women have become "too mouthy." I assume that is like saying he, as a black man, has become "too upity." Hopefully, women voters will remember Roe, the strong arm tactics of the GOP, and the…
Letter: Trump Party
The Republican Party is no longer. It's now the Party of Trump. And Trump believes in winning – anyway possible. Lying, cheating, conning, manipulating, and threatening are perfectly okay if they lead to winning. Lincoln and Eisenhower are rolling over in their graves.
Letter: Genocide or Ethnic Cleansing?
People seem to be talking a lot about whether the war in Gaza is Genocide or not. I think what is going on is much more Ethnic Cleansing than Genocide.
Letter: Hypocrisy
I think it is comical how the left fears another Trump Presidency, and claim he will be authoritarian. Biden has ruled through "Executive Orders". This is dictator personified. Very little has been accomplished through an ineffective Congress. At least Trump's policies resulted in creating t…
Letter: What part of the Climate Change Hoax do you not understand?
A previous writer tried to inform Democrat readers about the Climate Change Hoax. The bottom line is, there are no actions that you can take that will reduce the CURRENT amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that is causing CURRENT Climate change. Landscape ruining wind turbines and solar panels f…
Letter: I-11
I was Chief Chemist at the ASARCO-Silverbell mine. Every day, leave I-10 behind. 26 miles through Avra Valley, up the Silverbell Mountains to my lab. Best of all was the end of the day, work left behind, a calm and breathtaking ride down the mountain and through beautiful Avra Valley. A comm…
Letter: My worst fear
Why is it that so many of my Republican friends and family members still believe that D. Trump is the answer to everything USA??

A note to readers
To our readers:
Arizona Daily Star editorial: The folly of using impeachment as an outlet for political pique
An all-Republican committee of the Arizona House of Representatives has decided to call for the impeachment of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes.
Arizona Daily Star editorial: Violent-crime trend encouraging, not cataclysmic
In a recent opEd, incomplete and therefore wildly inaccurate violent-crime data led to a bad take on Tucson and Pima County public policy. We're happy to report that Tucson's violent crime rate, while still too high, is trending in the right direction
Arizona Daily Star editorial: Indictments good for democracy in Arizona and across nation
Arizona Daily Star editorial: Arizona's indictments of "fake electors" and Trump attorneys and aides are a regrettable but necessary step toward recalibrating our fevered political landscape.
