It is refreshing to find a newspaper that does not mindlessly plug a particular political bent all the time. I prefer my editorial page to be thought provoking and engaging without prejudiced drivel. The Seattle PI and Times do not meet this criteria, while the Valley Record does.

Too many news people have decided they can use their position to “change the world’ when all we poor people want are the facts of the news and some thoughtful, logical insight on the editorial page.

I am always interested in your editorials (although truth be told, I don’t agree with them all). Please continue as you have been; fair and intelligent.

I enclose a check to cover two years’ subscription costs.
