Election influence a key problem
Editor:
In reply to Hannah Hayes’ column “Wealthiest 5% must come to the rescue,” I agree with the comments on election influence. This external funding essentially kept the real national and state issues off-point.

Thanks, Evergreen!
Editor:
As local chairman of the Evergreen Salvation Army Bell Ringing Campaign, I would like to thank all those people who so generously contributed of their time, energy and money to make the campaign a huge success in the Evergreen community.

Who really pays the costs for sports fields?
Editor:
The Nov. 24 article about the master-plan finalist contained the following message: “Sports teams that use park-maintained soccer fields will be asked to bear 50 percent of the upkeep costs.” Does anyone see what’s wrong with this idea? Don’t we already pay ALL of the costs? If not, then who is?
