Letter: Missouri officials show contempt for voters with map controversy

Letter: Missouri officials show contempt for voters with map controversy

    Over 300,000 Missouri citizens signed a petition to put an initiative on the ballot to repeal the legislature's recent gerrymandered electoral map. The Supreme Court has twice refused to overturn a lower court ruling that the map is unconstitutional.

    Letter: ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´, Kansas City economic engines deserve representation

      Letter: Declaring US to still be 'one nation, indivisible' is wishful thinking

        Regarding the editorial "25 years after 9/11, we're still 'One nation, indivisible'" (Sept. 11): Its contention that that we are still one nation, united, reads more as wishful thinking than a description of the country we live in today.

        Letter: Pujols, Molina richly deserve their Cards' Hall of Fame inductions

        Letter: Pujols, Molina richly deserve their Cards' Hall of Fame inductions

          As a Cardinals fan of many years it was most gratifying to watch Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina be inducted together into the Cardinals Hall of Fame. ("Tears, eye black, a 100-year-old ring: Molina, Pujols inductions unite Cardinals generations," Sept. 13.) Their combined contributions to o…

          Letter: Missouri could use its cut of the $1 trillion Trump would spend on votes

              Letter: If Trump is buying votes with $5k offer, add mine to tariff payment

                President Donald Trump's unprecedented midterm GOP "convention" this week included an extraordinary offer: If Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, Trump said he would issue $5,000 dividends to all American adults. ("$5,000 for every American? Trump's similar 'dividends' haven’…

                Letter: Trump's DC building spree is a blatant power-grab from Congress

                • Sep 10, 2026

                President Donald Trump's construction spree in Washington now tops an estimated $1.4 billion, and Congress hasn't approved a dime of it.

                Letter: Jack Buck's 9/11 poem described the best of us then — but not now

                • Sep 10, 2026

                How sad reading Jack Buck's poem from Sept. 17, 2001. ("Benjamin Hochman: Jack Buck helped ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ heal after 9/11. His poem resonates 25 years later." Sept. 4.) It heralds America for being the "bastion of freedom" as we brutalize and deport those who legally sought asylum-even to alien c…

                Letter: Cameras keep us safe. Those who abuse them are the real problem

                Letter: Cameras keep us safe. Those who abuse them are the real problem

                • Sep 10, 2026

                As we approach the 25th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, we have time to reflect how our lives have changed. We were attacked by surprise, and we immediately became more vigilant about everything from our mail to our airport security.

                Letter: Restrictions on mail-in voting are a solution in search of a problem

                Letter: Restrictions on mail-in voting are a solution in search of a problem

                • Sep 9, 2026

                Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has strongly supported President Donald Trump’s election-integrity initiatives, including additional federal requirements affecting mail-in voting. ("Editorial: Don’t wait for Trump's Postal Service to block your rights. Make voting plans now," Sept. 3.)

                Letter: Trump should heed misgivings of those who used to support him

                Letter: Trump should heed misgivings of those who used to support him

                • Sep 9, 2026

                I am a retired Air Force veteran and an independent voter. I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. I did not vote for him in 2024.

                Letter: Supporting the important work of judges is our civic responsibility

                Letter: Supporting the important work of judges is our civic responsibility

                • Sep 9, 2026

                I was inspired by Barbara Dorris, described in Tony Messenger's column "×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ woman sends ‘thank you’ notes to judges amid rising threats" (Sept. 6). Her notes undoubtedly have more impact than she may have imagined.

                This past summer we celebrated America’s 250th birthday, made possible by a handful of rabblerousers we now know as the Founding Fathers. So great was their belief in the pursuit of freedom and liberty for all, they risked everything — down to their lives.

                "Future Ready," the plan for redistricting ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Public Schools, is a proposal in desperate need of a mandate.

                Opinion: We should revamp SLPS — but school closure plan is too vague
