We take great satisfaction that our readership remains deeply interested in and concerned about matters in the local, state and national scenes.

We are always pleased to receive letters from our readers on these issues. We take this opportunity to remind everyone that space is limited, that we give preference to comments on local matters, then state, then national, then general; and that those letters which express themselves most concisely receive preference. Brevity rules. New voices are welcome. See our guidelines, and please call us at 693-3101, or e-mail editor@gazettejournal.net, if you would like more information.

This week, we have given almost all the space on these pages to letters, with some left over. We are at our limit. Thank you for reading, and for writing.
