Reminder for letters: Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are all the opinions of the contributors
and not necessarily the Cook County News-Herald. While we encourage readers
to submit letters to the editor on issues they feel strongly about, we ask that
letters include name, address, and phone number. The Cook County News-Herald may withhold a name to protect a letter writer, but will never run a letter
without knowing the identity of the author. Anonymous submissions or letters of
questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged.
The Cook County News-Herald also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words,
however at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published. All
letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content.

Canadian health care appreciated

I have also been watching CNN and advertisements which describe Canadians as dying from lack of care because of our single payor, free health care system. Full Story
Make wishes come true with 1% sales tax
Most people have heard of the Make a Wish Foundation or similar programs. A person or child suffering from a terminal illness is treated to a “wish,” courtesy of a foundation or organization.

Too many questions to vote yes
Some 1% sales tax questions:
On Boreal there is a reference to a Q&A column. Where is it? Thefew you see certainly don’t represent what people are asking about.
