Letter: No reason for no statement

Recently I called the offices of Nebraska's two U.S. senators and three members of the House of Representatives. I asked if their superior had a statement concerning Donald Trump, especially the recent indictment concerning classified documents.

Only one (the office of Rep. Don Bacon) said yes. Bacon’s statement was refreshing, given staff members of the other offices had nothing to report. No statement, no position, no idea when a statement would be made concerning the former president.

Letter: Have hope for democracy

Four basics systems of economics are communism, fascism, socialism and capitalism. All systems are controlled to some degree by government.

Economics is the system of control of the means and production of wealth and its distribution. We in the United States are lucky to have a capitalist system, which allows for unlimited success depending upon individual motivation and desire to succeed. Capitalism doesn’t work for everyone, especially those in the lowest economic status, but it is best for most.

Letter: Legislation was unnecessary

Amid all the huffing and puffing about LB753 (Opportunity Scholarships Act and tax credits), I have been unable to discern a clear explanation as to why this legislation is necessary.

Have the potential recipient private schools refused to accept contributions restricted to scholarships for students unable to otherwise attend, unless the donors receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for such contributions — thereby forcing other taxpayers to cover the resulting loss in state revenue?

Letter: Walton was a force for good

I wish to thank Don Walton for his decades of writing informative news stories and insightful opinion columns that were fair minded and avoided the vitriol that is found too often in our politics today.

He was an outstanding writer who made complex issues understandable. Nebraska citizens were lucky to have him serve as our watchful reporter and columnist keeping us informed about what was happening with the powers-that-be in our state.

As a news editorial journalism major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of taking Economics for Journalists, co-taught by the late Dr. Wally Peterson and the Journal Star's own Don Walton.

Letter: Adapting for safer groundwater

It was gratifying to read “Groundwater gains” by Flatwater Free Press reporter Yanqi Xu in the Lincoln Journal Star on June 11. This story is an important addition to Xu’s previous reporting about groundwater contamination and its possible links to elevated pediatric cancer rates in Nebraska.

Agricultural producers Kerry and Angela Knuth and Del Ficke are featured in the story as well as Ray Ward, founder of Ward Laboratories in Kearney. The Knuths and Ficke use innovative farming practices such as precision fertilizer application, soil testing and planting cover crops after harvest to promote soil health and save costs while maintaining profitability.

Letter: Walton embodied wisdom, grace

As he departed, Journal Star political reporter Don Walton on Monday thanked his readers.

I understand why he would, but it is his readers that thank him for his understanding, sensitive and wise reporting of issues so very important to this state.

Letter: Have hope for democracy

Four basics systems of economics are communism, fascism, socialism and capitalism. All systems are controlled to some degree by government.

Economics is the system of control of the means and production of wealth and its distribution. We in the United States are lucky to have a capitalist system, which allows for unlimited success depending upon individual motivation and desire to succeed. Capitalism doesn’t work for everyone, especially those in the lowest economic status, but it is best for most.

Letter: Legislation was unnecessary

Amid all the huffing and puffing about LB753 (Opportunity Scholarships Act and tax credits), I have been unable to discern a clear explanation as to why this legislation is necessary.

Have the potential recipient private schools refused to accept contributions restricted to scholarships for students unable to otherwise attend, unless the donors receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for such contributions — thereby forcing other taxpayers to cover the resulting loss in state revenue?

Letter: Walton was a force for good

I wish to thank Don Walton for his decades of writing informative news stories and insightful opinion columns that were fair minded and avoided the vitriol that is found too often in our politics today.

He was an outstanding writer who made complex issues understandable. Nebraska citizens were lucky to have him serve as our watchful reporter and columnist keeping us informed about what was happening with the powers-that-be in our state.

Letter: Walton was teacher, example

As a news editorial journalism major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of taking Economics for Journalists, co-taught by the late Dr. Wally Peterson and the Journal Star's own Don Walton.

I don't remember learning much about economics, but I do recall learning an awful lot about journalism, and life, from Don Walton.

Letter: Adapting for safer groundwater

It was gratifying to read “Groundwater gains” by Flatwater Free Press reporter Yanqi Xu in the Lincoln Journal Star on June 11. This story is an important addition to Xu’s previous reporting about groundwater contamination and its possible links to elevated pediatric cancer rates in Nebraska.

Agricultural producers Kerry and Angela Knuth and Del Ficke are featured in the story as well as Ray Ward, founder of Ward Laboratories in Kearney. The Knuths and Ficke use innovative farming practices such as precision fertilizer application, soil testing and planting cover crops after harvest to promote soil health and save costs while maintaining profitability.
