The Gazette argues for a renewed ERA to secure gender equality, noting 221 House sponsors and priority from House Judiciary Chair Peter Rodino. It urges clarifying guarantees to quell fears about court interpretations and suggests a states rights framework to allow changes by ratifying states.
The National League of Cities says 70 municipalities face extreme fiscal distress and expects Reagan to favor tax breaks and regulatory relief over new aid. It notes cuts to revenue sharing and urban grants, while federal aid remains sizable but not growing. Inner cities struggle as government debt limits Washington’s help.
The piece argues Reagan's economic plan falters amid a growing deficit near 200 billion, with conflicting signals on tax policy and spending. It cites congressional and Federal Reserve influence, demotes Reagan’s leadership, and highlights GOP appointees and Justice Department concerns as signs of decay.
A reader condemns federal and state subsidies for Iowa Beef Processors to build a pork plant near Stanwood, arguing subsidies reduce jobs and raise taxes. The letter references IBP’s ownership by Occidental Petroleum, impacts on hog buyers, and calls for attention to farmers and consumers. It also thanks Cedar Rapids organizations for holiday aid and notes community charity efforts and a Kiwanis donation used for Christmas baskets.
Reader praises the Dec 25 edition cover of The Gazette calling it uplifting and meaningful. A special note also thanks Rev. Robert Duffet for the inspiring message featured on the cover.
