LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Body
Heading off war Last week, only Josh Hawley of Missouri voted no and Rand Paul of Kentucky voted present as a bill to approve Sweden and Finland as new partners to NATO carried in the Senate 95-1-1. I am a conservative, believing strongly in the Constitution, personal freedom, smaller government, lower taxes and the rest.
The future is in your hands
Body
Can you believe it? It’s that time of year again, budget time for our city. If you are like me, it seems that time passes by in hyperdrive, and before you know it, another year has flown by. So here we are again, as residents of Alpine, trying to predict what the next year will hold. How much revenue we will receive, and how much will our expenses be? What improvements do we want to make? Or are we happy with leaving things just as they are for another year?
