TUCKER: Veterans Day: A time to say thanks

Just when we thought the elections were behind us for another year, a near-tie vote is holding up the final outcome in Tonawanda.....more>>

    It doesn’t take a genius to realize that every time the state raises up taxes for regular stores, and for regular brand cigarettes that you have to buy at 7-11, Convenient, or whatever, the cost goes up. But then, the reservation just raises up the price of their cigarettes, and it just puts more profit in their pockets. Government, wake up! All you’re doing is making the Indians richer. So, I feel that they should be paying taxes on cigarettes.

    I am perplexed by people complaining about prayer not allowed in schools. We live in a free country in which anyone can pray anytime they want to. Unless the people complaining are actually just upset with the fact that prayer isn’t forced upon everyone in school. When religion ruled the world, we called it the Dark Ages.
  •  HOPKINS: Was vote fueled by anger?
    It’s not even 24 hours (at this writing) since the polls closed, and I’m still a little surprised by some of the results from Tuesday’s general election.
  • KEPPELER: When do you become ‘from around here?’
    It’s funny how things line up sometimes.

    Do the school board and teachers of North Tonawanda realize that the unemployment rate in Niagara County is more than 10 percent? Apparently not. And what is this quote from our superintendent: “It will continue to ensure that our students are provided with a first-rate education.” Does that mean if teachers are not paid continually more and more money, they are not going to continue to educate our children? I think not, but that’s the problem with education: Just throw more money at the teachers and things are supposed to get better.
  • CONFER: The cost of cap and trade: part one
    Sitting near the top of the Left’s ambitious agenda is the tempering of alleged man-made global warming.
  • LEFFLER: An easy decision, hands down ... or up
    Less is not more. Never. But it might be better.

    New York State wants to impose new license plates for all vehicles with a rate hike. If you would like to protest and stop New York state rip-offs, sign the petition at nonewplates.com or call your legislator or assemblyman’s office.
