Sen. Wyden a good public servant
To the editor:
Public service is an honorable profession. It is also an extremely difficult one, especially if the public servant is an elected official. If he is elected by a majority of 51 percent he is still required to represent the wishes and needs of the 49 percent who disagree with him whatever their reasons might be.

People can make the world better
To the editor:
Seems like almost everywhere you go folks keep saying all the things that are wrong with the world today. Well, as I see it what’s wrong are the people that live in it, always ready to blame someone else for the problems.
When was the last time you did a nice thing for someone, for nothing, not expecting anything in return. Like giving somebody 20 bucks and not wanting to be paid back, just because you’d know how it’s never happened to you either.

Sources for my health care claims
To the editor:
In a recent letter, Iva Mace wonders what my sources are, then admits that she gets her information from a couple of advocacy groups. These groups generally come down strongly on one side of an issue, and don’t usually include the unpleasant side effects of their pet programs.

Artist’s offer receives responses
To the editor:
It’s all too easy for us, me included, to see what is wrong or missing or less than noble in another. We rarely have trouble pointing out what the other should do to correct these shortcomings. And in that vein it’s often difficult for us to see the good in people, to see beyond all those blaring shortcomings, as if we didn’t share the exact same “flaws."

Rally a showcase for Baker City
To the editor:
We at the Baker City Café just wanted to say thank you to all the Hells Canyon Rally riders who stopped by the café earlier this month. Despite the rain, it was a fun weekend getting to know a lot of new people. We are huge supporters of the rally as it is a great showcase for Downtown Main Street and the rest of Baker City and Baker County.

We deserve better health care
To the editor:
We deserve government policies that meet our real and urgent needs for good-paying jobs and affordable health insurance. But some current proposals are actually harmful.
In his constituent letter dated April 29, our U.S. Congressman, Greg Walden, said, “You deserve a fact-based conversation on the budget.” And he repeatedly assured us that, “I understand fairness. That is why our budget does not propose any changes to Medicare. . . for those 55 and older."

Media missing mark on Libya
To the editor:
Two wars are quite enough for most and maybe too many for others. Are we being led into a third war by some deceptive reporting?

Teacher grateful for support
To the editor:
I would like to thank everyone who supported my efforts as I worked to maintain my first grade teaching position. I presented to the school board a packet with 13 letters from colleagues, peers and parents who shared their views of why I should stay in this type of classroom.

Who else mourns the war dead?
To the editor:
Fueled by Meals on Wheels, I creep from this pretty, subsidized building and see how lucky I am to live in Baker City, a city of motherly love.
