Tariff rationale is misleading

To the editor: The primary rationale for imposing substantial tariffs on goods from other countries is America’s grievance for allegedly being taken advantage of essentially by the rest of the world. This tariff policy is a false pretense for a tax increase on American consumers without calling it a tax increase. We pay for the price increases on tariffed goods. Take tariffs on our Canadian neighbors for example.
Schools robbing children of their innocence
To the editor: What are our children being taught, and who approves it? As a father who has homeschooled for 19 years and participated in public schools for the past seven, I’m more concerned than ever. The illusion is that public education is official, approved and therefore trustworthy. My experience says otherwise. On April 14, a concerned grandfather contacted me.
Protect voting rights by opposing ‘safeguard’ act
To the editor: Millions of Americans could be forced to jump through new hoops just to cast a ballot next year if the U.S. Senate passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The House of Representatives has already passed this act. Wisconsin voters must presently show a legal ID to vote, but this bill would additionally require proof of citizenship. This is a dangerous step toward voter suppression.
Urge support of Medicaid, a lifeline to affordable, accessible health care
To the editor, As a family physician, I am deeply concerned about potential changes to Medicaid funding and coverage. Medicaid is a lifeline to affordable, accessible health care for millions of low-income individuals and families, including many of my patients. I work at the Menominee Tribal Clinic, an IHS supported but independently-run Native-owned clinic by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
Don’t let billionaires win; vote for Crawford
To the editor, Our state’s future will be determined when we elect a new justice for the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 1. Judge Susan Crawford has an outstanding record; however, she has been the victim of multiple lies by her opponent, Brad Schimel, and his benefactor, Elon Musk. Ads have accused her of being easy on crime despite her record of putting violent criminals behind bars.
Former judge urges voting for Schimel
To the editor: I support Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. When I served locally in the circuit court, Attorney General Schimel provided assistance to our district attorney office on more than one case that was complex. I believe that Judge Schimel interprets the law, believing that the legislature decided public policy issues.
Town of Little Suamico needs new leadership
To the editor, With the upcoming elections in the Town of Little Suamico, we clearly need new direction. After voting in a new board two years ago, election of Chairman Dale Mohr clearly was a mistake. He does not understand his new role as he is wearing too many hats.
