Bipartisan support of federal act would enhance public lands
In the business world, executives and boards of directors make spending decisions based on costs, benefits, returns on investment and many other factors. The goal, of course, is to ensure the growth and profitability of their businesses, regardless of personal political views.
Herrod wrong, our country needs Equal Rights Amendment
As a pro-life Republican who also was a chief advocate for passage of the ERA in Illinois, I read with interest the opinion authored by Cathy Herrod about the Equal Rights Amendment.
Bill Montgomery is perfect candidate for state Supreme Court
I write to take exception to the op-ed about the nomination of Bill Montgomery to our state Supreme Court, written by Mark Harrison and published on Aug. 16.

Demonizing Bill Montgomery contrary to merit selection
Yes, Mr. Montgomery took a novel path to eventual consideration to serve on the Arizona Supreme Court. If selected, he would bring a different perspective developed by a unique life of public service. He represents the values engrained in military service. Similar to Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who also served as an elected leader before moving to the judiciary, he understands the difficulties [...]
