The Gazette argues for a council-manager government as a clearer professional run system. It says the commission form burdens councils with day-to-day tasks, raises costs, and blocks many residents from serving, urging voters to choose the manager model for better access and policy debate.
Editorial argues for Sunday endorsement of Home Rule and a Tuesday vote. It claims full time commissioners avoid open council discussions and calls for a new form of government to improve access to City Hall for candidates and the public.
The piece critiques liberal reverence for FDR and the New Deal, noting debates over Social Security, constitutional shift ideas, and Sunstein's call for a Second Bill of Rights. It questions whether FDR would back sweeping policy, ending with the provocative line Who cares.
A reader argues for higher average teacher salaries to close US test gaps in math and science. She cites international comparisons and asserts universal education, not elite-only schooling, and suggests laptops could replace heavy textbooks, reducing back injuries and boosting language skills.
A reader argues against giving prime space to political extremists on the Gazette op ed page. They praise balanced columns like David Brooks and Paul Krugman, warn about toxic messaging, and urge editors to include diverse viewpoints to inform rather than inflame.
The Gazette editorial accuses Congress and the Bush administration of secrecy and zealotry in enacting the USA Patriot Act. It argues the act emerged without democratic processes, enabling expansion of powers, complicating debates about freedom and security and fueling later wars.
