Town-by-town gun laws absurd May 23, 2013 12:00 AM
An Elgin letter to the editor: The Illinois Senate committee approved a plan for concealed carry. No wonder Illinois is in such trouble.

This would mean that you would not know what the rules are as you drive through different communities.
Wheels falling off liberal bandwagon May 23, 2013 12:00 AM
A McHenry letter to the editor: Smug media pundits would have you believe that the Tea Party is dead, given up, gone away.

IRS won’t look kindly on this ‘terrorist’ May 23, 2013 12:00 AM
A Winfield letter to the editor: Despite the president's feigned outrage over IRS' targeting, he must have secretly cheered, since the targets were his fierce political opponents. We have learned of more and more groups that were harassed by this feared government agency.

Press no longer has Obama’s back May 23, 2013 12:00 AM

An Elmhurst letter to the editor: How dare people like Obama and Mayor Bloomberg dictate to people as to whether they can or cannot own firearms. These hypocrites have any number of personal bodyguards or Secret Servicemen to protect them and their families 24/7.

Need to get our priorities straight May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
An Aurora letter to the editor: Talk about Nero “fiddling while Rome burns”. Benghazi: Congress and the media are all upset about the talking points used by Susan Rice following the Benghazi attack on our embassy instead of the attack itself. Shouldn’t the focus be on intelligence shortfalls and response improvements instead of ‘who said what’ in the hours after the event?
Making history happen in Elgin May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
An Elgin letter to the editor: In 2004, the Elgin Youth History Fair was created for the 150th Celebration of the city. It was clear from the onset that it should have a hands-on focus for children. For that to happen, more hands — older, wiser — would be needed for guidance.
State hardly working for its citizens May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
A Hampshire letter to the editor: The economy is bad everywhere, but few places are as affected as much as the “great” state of Illinois.
