Facts, fantasy about tax cuts

Oct. 23 at 12:09 a.m.

A letter writer claimed that tax cuts boost the economy (Oct. 20 Letters to the Editor). That position is clear, simple, easy to understand and wrong.

Letters to the editor on Visioneering, Limbaugh, public option, requiring insurance

Oct. 23 at 6:07 a.m.

Visioneering helps all area cities: After recently visiting Chattanooga, Tenn., with Visioneering Wichita, I would say the experience was helpful in engaging people living in Derby, Goddard, Rose Hill, Wichita, Andover, Bel Aire and other areas of our four-county metro area.

Oct. 22 at 5:54 a.m.

Here are reasons not to send more troops to Afghanistan: Al-Qaida's main base is in Pakistan, with centers in at least six other nations. Some of the Taliban's actions are despicable, but the Taliban are not surrogates of al-Qaida.

Timbers cares about residents

Oct. 22 at 12:09 a.m.

The Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation of Kansas, founded in 1972, prioritizes values such as respecting the dignity of those we serve through least-intrusive intervention, customer choice and satisfaction, and opportunities for independence. An article showed an extremely one-sided view of a story that inaccurately portrays the values that CPRF represents ("Dispute to cost woman her apartment," Oct. 18 Eagle).

Don't mix women, men on submarines: Having served four years in the U.S. Navy submarine service, I feel entitled and compelled to oppose any plan to sexually integrate combat submarines. I do so not because of any qualms about the abilities of women to serve as submariners. My concern is safety and safety alone.

Tax cuts boost economy

Oct. 21 at 2:09 p.m.

Secretary of Revenue Joan Wagnon recently blamed tax cuts for the state's budget woes (Oct. 10 Local & State). She argued that there wouldn't be a budget shortfall if the tax cuts and exemptions passed since 1995 had not been approved.

Oct. 19 at 1:53 a.m.

Better to lock up fewer people: There seems to be a mindset that says the best way to combat jail overcrowding is to lock up more people — or at least to increase our ability to lock up more people. As it is, the United States locks up a larger proportion of its citizens than any other country in the world.

Muyskens' ouster is disturbing: The news about the Rev. Sam Muyskens was disturbing ("Muyskens ousted from Inter-Faith," Oct. 14 Local & State). I was on the board of directors of Inter-Faith Ministries for five years and found Muyskens to be absolutely — absolutely — committed to the cause of IFM. He worked 24/7 and was available to speak in the community at any time, at short notice.

Educators combating hunger

Oct. 7 at 12:06 a.m.

About nine months ago, a small group of retired USD 259 educators, recognizing the current economy's impact on families, began developing a plan for raising funds for the Food 4 Kids program. The Food 4 Kids program is more commonly referred to as the "backpack" program, which provides preassembled bags of food for children whom school personnel recognize as chronically hungry and not getting sufficient food outside of school. The testimonials of classroom teachers about the impact this program has on children's alertness and participation in the classroom are often dramatic, and evidence of the immediate effect the provision of sustenance can have.

Letters to the editor on reasonable property taxes, re-enacting killings, missed crossword puzzle

Oct. 7 at 6:02 a.m.

Property taxes are reasonable: What a coincidence that The Eagle ran a piece about how reasonable our property taxes are ("Sedgwick Co. property taxes among lowest," Sept. 28 Eagle). The subject of property taxes came up recently while I was sitting at a picnic table with some relatives at a family reunion in my home state of New Jersey.
