Guns have a place while we’re here on Earth May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
A Schaumburg letter to the editor: In response to Tom McGovern, who wrote to the Daily Herald on May 3 that the gun lobby should look elsewhere because "there are no guns in heaven": That's true, Tom. Because in heaven, there isn't anyone trying to rob, rape or kill you.

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." How about an honest, unpopular version? Hiring is slow because companies do not trust the anti-business actions of Big Government. In addition "tree-huggers," the EPA and our leaders are stopping the pipeline, drilling offshore and drilling on government land.

Obama administration protecting extremists May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
A Buffalo Grove letter to the editor: Most people acknowledge that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful. However, this administration appears to want to protect radical Islamist Muslims. When a U.S. Army major killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood while screaming praises to Allah, President Obama's first words were "let's not jump to conclusions."

Be thoughtful on whom to support May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
A Schaumburg letter to the editor: Before we rush to support 11 million illegal immigrants, how about making sure our vets are receiving the care they are entitled to? President Obama is more interested in handouts to illegals, which translates into Democratic votes, rather than taking care of our vets and seniors.

Sensible reforms for gun laws needed May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
A La Grange letter to the editor: Right now Illinois legislators are crafting a law to allow people to carry concealed weapons outside their homes. They need to hear from us, urging them to support our interests, and common sense gun safety laws, such as local concealed carry permitting, background checks for all gun purchases, and reporting lost or stolen guns.

Teachers also are taxpayers May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
An Arlington Heights letter to the editor: What did surprise me at The Pension Forum was that many comments were made throughout the evening by the legislators and audience members that indicated that they forget teachers are taxpayers and voters
-
Taxpayers’ concerns being overlooked May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
An Arlington Heights letter to the editor: Because we are not organized, as the various unions are, the taxpayer's voice is much harder to hear.

Now, the legislature aims to also eliminate contractually guaranteed annual COLA adjustments.The combined effect of these two unilateral changes will sharply torpedo a etiree's disposable income.
-
Problem creators now the problem solvers May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
A letter to the editor: A bit of irony for readers of the Daily Herald: The same group of legislators who are in charge of fixing the pension systems are the same ones who helped destroy those systems.
-
Kids’ future at stake over pension woes May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
A Rolling Meadows letter to the editor: I attended the pension forum at Harper College, and it was enlightening. The pension system has to be reformed or there will be no future for pensions. They say it is in the Illinois Constitution to preserve the pensions. There should be a forum on government procedures, especially the part about amending the constitution.

Internet sales tax bill has little value May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
A Batavia letter to the editor: It is obvious that Democratic Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and the other Senators who voted for the Internet sales tax never owned, operated or managed any business, especially a retail enterprise.
-
Don’t simply stiff the pensioners May 12, 2013 12:00 AM
A St. Charles letter to the editor: I was disappointed in Professor Reynolds' "analysis" in her column "Pension reform and the constitution." She argues that the legislature need not worry about the constitutional prohibition against diminishing or impairing teacher pension benefits because that provision "mirrors" the provision of the U.S. Constitution regarding impairment of contracts.

No accounting for increased gas prices May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
A Lake in the Hills letter to the editor: Recently I heard on the radio that crude oil is at $93 per barrel. When it was at $107 per barrel, we were paying less for gasoline than we are now. The wars are winding down, there is no gulf oil spill, no refineries on fire — what is the excuse for the gas prices this time?
