Spending remains out of control May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
A Barrington letter to the editor: On May 5 you published a nice, politically correct article by The Associated Press as to "Why the economy is taking so long to recover."

Special ed proposal could hurt all students May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
A Chicago letter to the editor: As a teacher in Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211, I'm writing to inform parents about disastrous proposed laws that will affect their students.
