							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            |  To the editor: Please inform the public what we can do…the 
			legislature is controlled by the Speaker of the House and President 
			of the Senate who are elected over and over by the people in the 
			Chicago area, I feel powerless as to what to do. People who are on 
			fixed incomes are already feeling the pinch of higher and higher 
			taxes and it is only going to get worse if our government doesn’t 
			seriously attempt to balance the budget and stop simply looking for 
			additional tax increases.  
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 
            More and more people are going to continue leaving the state for 
			surrounding states if the tax increases don’t stop.
