Dear readers,
With the aim of keeping the Lincoln Squirrel as local as possible, we have had a policy that letters to the editor must be specific to a Lincoln topic. We are now relaxing that requirement to accept letters on any topic we feel is of interest to the Lincoln community. This means you can send your thoughts about national and international topics of concern, including the Presidential election.
The deadline for receiving letters relating to the March 1 state primary is Friday, Feb. 26 at 11:59 p.m. We look forward to publishing your letters!
Sincerely,
Alice Waugh, editor/publisher of the Lincoln Squirrel
178 Weston Rd.
Letters to the editor must be signed with the writer’s name and street address and sent via email to lincolnsquirrelnews@gmail.com. Letters will be edited for punctuation, spelling, style, etc., and will be published at the discretion of the editor. Letters containing personal attacks, errors of fact or other inappropriate material will not be published.
We are bombarded by every media outlet with political “news” and opinions. I have long reached the limit of politics being jammed down my throat I can take. So I agree with Diana, let us not open Pandora’s Box here too.
Let’s keep it local and relevant. We have more than enough issues in town to argue over.
I’m not sure that’s such a prudent idea. You’ll be swamped. And whoever has the most time to write emails will get the most exposure. He who squawks the loudest may not be the smartest. Diana
