							Controversial issues: 
							
							
							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: Here are five 
			good reasons for those of us in Logan County to vote "yes" on the 
			first issue on our ballot - the Fair Tax.
 1. The Fair Tax would produce enough new revenue to reduce the need 
			for costly state borrowing.
 
 2. The Fair Tax would move money from Chicago to the rest of the 
			state.
 
			
			 3. The Fair Tax would not reduce our retirement income. 
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 
            4. The Fair Tax would remove the need for other tax 
			increases, e.g., property tax increases.
 5. Only three percent of Illinois citizens, the ones making more 
			than $250,000, would have to pay the Fair Tax.
