Thanks for info Dear Editor, A special thanks goes out to candidate Andrea Schroeder for educating voters about candidate for state representative Jose Aliaga’s “unsatisfactory job performance” regarding his state health and human services work (“State rep campaign turns negative,” July 12). It’s troubling to hear Mr. Aliaga and his supporters claiming that his “personal […]
Ruling guts FOIA Dear Editor, As reported in last week’s Clarkston News, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of the City of the Village of Clarkston in the case of Bisio v.

Sick, sinking feeling Dear Editor, Is America really feeling great again? Many Americans do not feel so good about the direction in which the nation seems headed. The fact is many are embarrassed, ashamed and saddened by what is happening to our government, and the message it sends to our children who we want to […]
Dear Editor, I would have preferred not to see a picture of that truck driver, who rammed the building, in the paper…anywhere (“Seconds to space,” April 25).
