I want to echo and reinforce Mr. Hanewinkel’s letter, “Majority Should Rule In Presidential Elections,” in the March 1 “South County Times.”

“Better Together Is Terrifying.” My title quotes Wendy Wiese (KETC’s “Donnybrook”) in a discussion of Better Together.

Why is state Sen. Andrew Koenig, R-District 15, the primary sponsor for charter school expansion in the state legislature when he currently represents three AAA rated school districts (Kirkwood, Parkway and Rockwood)? Do we really need charter schools in our area?

What is Jack Hanewinkel thinking when he wrote the March 1 letter to the South County Times?

In his re-election campaign letter to Fenton city residents, Mayor Josh Voyles apologized stating: “Most of you have heard about my ‘incident’ as it has been widely reported in the local media.”

From what I can see, Mr. Bob Oberst (March 8 Mailbag) has been fuming ever since he read the March 1 letter in the South County Times in which Stephen Cakouros criticized U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whose Green campaign has now reached the zany stage.

Here’s a novel idea for what will eventually be two competing plans for St. Louis’ city and county merger. The two opposing sides – Better Together and the Municipal League – can wave a white flag, call a truce, set aside their differences, bridge their divide and sit down to the table as ad…

Mr. Jack Hanewinkel Jr.’s letter in the March 1-7 edition (“Majority Should Rule In Presidential Elections) gives me serious doubts as to whether he really understands the nature of our form of government. Sadly, he is but one of millions of American citizens with the same misunderstanding.

This letter is in response to Mary Touzinsky’s March 8 letter. Our country has been a representative republic ever since the original Constitutional Convention in 1787. It has withstood the test of time for over 200 years. When Thomas Jefferson, the person largely credited with drafting the …

Open letter to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Sunset Hills:

I wanted to respond to Mr. Cakouros’ masterful analysis of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s popularity, which appeared in the March 1 Mailbag in the South County Times.

In response to the March 1 letter in the South County Times regarding “Majority Should Rule in Presidential Elections,” apparently Mr. Hanewinkle does not understand the history of the Electoral College or the reasons for its adoption. I will not discuss all the reasons here. That is what Go…

You can’t open a magazine, turn on a television, or boot up your computer without seeing her. She is here, there and everywhere. Smiling, wide-eyed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ubiquity itself; a phenomenon, but one that can be explained easily enough.

We live in a democratic republic. The legislation is accomplished through our representatives, but those representatives are chosen by the people through the democratic system of one citizen, one vote.

I am a 78-year-old senior resident of Brookwood subdivision in Fenton. I have lived there for nearly 50 years and have never bothered anyone. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’ve been a kindhearted, quiet, generous person helping others my whole life.

I’m writing regarding the Crestwood article in the Times concerning how many millions Crestwood will lose with a potential merger (“Crestwood Runs Numbers On City-County Merger Plan,” Feb. 22 South County Times).

Beware! The wealthy and well-connected are trumpeting the benefits of Better Together! But they’re selling a pig in a poke to citizens of St. Louis City and County! The consolidation of the city, county and municipal police departments is one of the many pigs (no pun intended) in the poke be…

Missouri is one of a few states that still gets 80 percent of its electricity from coal. This reliance on coal creates unnecessary carbon dioxide emissions which fuel destructive global warming and harms the health of you and your neighbors.

Read with interest the recent letter about vote counting. I think we are talking about last election where Trump lost by 2.9 million votes.

I am responding to the Times article, “A Woman’s Guide To Cannabis,” in the Feb. 8 issue. The article is, in my opinion, disingenuous to your readers.

Last November there was a letter published about leaving a liveable planet to today’s children. There is no issue more important than this.

The framers of the Constitution were very passionate about states rights. This includes the electoral college and for that matter the Senate itself. Should we eliminate the Senate, too? They did not want the country run by a concentrated majority in any one part of the country. The Federalis…
