opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
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:Republican
State Senator Sally Turner notes that "there are good ideas in the
[recently signed Illinois] criminal justice reform legislation." It
is gratifying to see Republican legislators agree that needed
reforms of our criminal justice system have been overdue.
Police should be wearing active body cameras while on duty.
Resorting to violence should not be their first resort. Choke holds
like the one that killed George Floyd should be banned. The new law
effectively addresses all these issues.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
The law will save lives and it makes all of us more
safe. Those of us who value human life strongly support the new
reforms and we thank Gov. Pritzker for signing them into law.
