Letters to the Editor
Ms. Heath, President Obama has stated several times that he wants to redistribute the wealth of American citizens to people he thinks are more deserving. He has appointed several czars who are self-avowed Marxists and admire Mao Tse-tung. No hyperbole! He is a socialist!
Ms. Kastel, According to most studies, the polar bear population in the Canadian arctic areas has increased by 150 percent since the 1980s. You and I may be dead by 2050, but the polar bears will be just fine!
Dr. McKinnis, You say you would rather have the government making health care decisions rather than the evil insurance companies. How do you like the way the government is running Medicare, Social Security, the VA, the DMV, and the post office? When has the government been held accountable for anything? If it's OK with you, I'll stick with the insurance companies!
Ms. Sabey Bladek, Even though we have elected the Messiah as our president, there are still millions of people who want to kill you, your children, and all Americans! So, yes, peace and harmony are an impossible dream! Sorry!

Failure to provide health care to one-third of the population is a national disgrace. The time for national health care is now.

I am Joe citizen of DuPage County, co-defendant in the case of ComEd vs. the People of DuPage Co.
Defendants are accused of wanting healthy, natural-looking trails.
How do you plead? Guilty as charged.
Seeking to settle out of court, the plaintiff has offered small tokens, such as disclaiming restitutions of the past. It states it will continue to spray herbicides; it does not state any willingness to improve oversight and care, as to the chopping and hacking of our natural trails. And finally, it offers no guarantees for 750 designated tree replacements along county trails.
These low-growth trees will lower future Com Ed maintenance costs in a win-win for them, but an un-guaranteed win-loss for the people of DuPage County.
There is really no resolution in their proposed settlement for the people and, for that matter, electrical consumers of DuPage.
The city councils of Wheaton and West Chicago recorded proclamations requesting the Illinois Commerce Commission's intervention, meeting with all parties to resolve this issue -- to no avail.
It is time for the DuPage County Board to act, and join the call of constituents and city government for ICC intervention. This issue will not go away.

In 1928, she was living in Morris, Grundy County, and had a young child. (She is not Florence Luella Wilson, Florence Eloise Wilson, or Florence Wilson Bennett.)
This Florence may be a lost relative of an acquaintance who would be so happy to hear of her.
