LETTERS
Letter: Says DA is ‘imposter’
How much does DA really know about “gun control”? Others have done a fine job of pointing out the many flaws in the letter written by DA Eric Johnson. I thank you all for your forthright due diligence and for taking the time to correct the incredible number of false statements in the DA’s letter.By Marion Shaw, Hudson , March 16, 2013
Letter: Comments on mooring issue
The City Council last week discussed the issue of the sailboat moorings. They are no closer to a solution now than they were when they passed a resolution banning dinghies on city property last year. I have had a mooring in Hudson for 36 years.By Tim & Diana Delaney, Hudson , March 01, 2013
Letter: Courageous leadership
At the recent candidate forum for our local school board, participants were asked to share a time they demonstrated courageous leadership. All stumbled over the question badly, in part because of the way the question was worded. A better question might have been, “What constitutes courageous leadership and how have you demonstrated it?”By Scott Erlenborn, Hudson , March 01, 2013
Letter: Toll is a true all-star
I enjoyed reading in last week’s Star-Observer about Dennis Toll, and his induction into the Knoxville High School Hall of Fame. At Hudson High School, Toll was one of many, who had a major impact on my kids.By Butch Schultz, Hudson , March 01, 2013
Letter: DA’s column is off base
This is in response to last week’s guest column titled “DA argues for ‘meaningful’ gun restrictions.” District Attorney Eric Johnson’s public advocacy to restrict the rights and liberties of the citizens he’s charged to serve, stands in opposition to the letter and spirit of our constitution, and to the oath he has sworn to uphold.By Gerry Lancette, Hudson , March 01, 2013
Letter: Against potential move of Health Dept.
With the recent auction of county land in New Richmond, there have been veiled references in the local papers to razing the St. Croix County Health and Human Services buildings in New Richmond and moving this department to Hudson. Why the secrecy? Why the hurry?By Ninette Nolen, New Richmond , March 01, 2013
Letter: Disagrees with DA’s column
St Croix County District Attorney Eric Johnson made his left-wing opinions on gun control clear in last week’s guest column in the Star-Observer. Unfortunately, many of the purported “facts” are anti-gun talking points, unsubstantiated or untrue.By Ray Hornung, Town of Hudson , March 01, 2013
Letter: Liked Ontl gun column
In last week’s paper I nearly missed “Margaret’s Musings” until it was pointed out to me by a friend. Finally — an article of truth, perception and reason when it comes to firearms. How refreshing!By Lee J. Christianson, Baldwin , February 22, 2013
Letter: No fan of St. Croix County administrator
From 1975 to 1987, Wisconsin Sen. William Proxmire awarded a monthly Golden Fleece Award targeting wasteful government spending. The time has come to bring the Golden Fleece Award back.By Scottie E. Ard, New Richmond , February 22, 2013
Letter: Back Kunz for School Board on April 2
I sit wondering how six of the seven School Board members could think that Superintendent Eggebraaten could deserve such a handsome raise. The fiscal negligence she demonstrated during the SCM property debacle was unprecedented.By John Windolff, Hudson , February 22, 2013
Letter: These movies not appropriate
Just a month after the Newtown, Conn., massacre where 20 little children and eight teachers were slaughtered, guess what our greedy, anything-for-a-buck movie writers and producers in Hollywood have been making millions on – you guessed it – No. 1 and 2 at the box office were “Texas Chainsaw 3D” and “Django Unchained” by that wonderfully compassionate Quentin Taratino.By Meredith Berg, North Hudson , January 28, 2013
Letter: Address the ‘real’ problem
The knife that O.J. Simpson used to “allegedly” murder two people was not blamed for that horrendous crime. The culture of violence in America started many years ago.By Tom Wulf, New Richmond , January 28, 2013
Letter: Don’t need more guns
Gun control is much in the news, as it should be, since the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. In my opinion, this discussion is long overdue and much too important to receive a quick fix made when emotions run high. My hope is that cool heads will prevail and long-term solutions can be found.By Don Lobitz, Stillwater , January 27, 2013
Letter: Argues for gun control
As Evangelicals celebrate Pro-Life Week in many of their congregations this week, I have to wonder how many pulpits will courageously connect President Obama’s gun control proposals to the issue of life?By Scott Erlenborn, Hudson , January 27, 2013
Letter: Backs ‘rainy day’ fund for Hudson School District
The School Board voted to raise the salaries of a majority of Hudson School District employees recently. They indeed should be compensated for their work. However, I believe that two-thirds to three-fourths of that money should have gone to raising compensation, but one-third to one-fourth should have gone to a “rainy day fund.”By Medora Koehler, Hudson , January 26, 2013
