Letters to the Editor


Harvest time

BY BILL BRADLEY [email protected] Providing good nutritious food for people in need in Sudbury can be as easy as planting a garden. Just ask Howard Thompson.

Let's avoid another Robert-gate - Jean Chevrier

Our municipal government has to learn that good governance demands the wisdom and courage to admit they could have done much better. For example, taking responsibility for the fiasco of the 2003 election.

City leaders should talk less, do more - Ernie Checkeris

Hey! What is going on? It has been an interesting week. It began with "Avoid a Tax Hike!" The council usually begins the budget process and debate with a suggestion taxes will go 10 or 15 percent over the previous year.

Christmas hamper program a success - Pauline Loyer

I would like to thank everyone who made our Christmas hampers and toys drive a success. We even have extra canned and dry goods available for the long month of January.

Reader has no faith in unions - J.M. Belfry

Regarding Glenn Boyd's letter in Friday, Aug, 12 issue, headlined, Article hits nerve with union rep. my trust in union representation was eliminated in 1982 when Inco decided that 1,050 of us were no longer needed.
