Readers oppose county police force as waste of money
A reader denounces a proposed county police force as unnecessary and costly. They argue the plan bypasses elected sheriffs, concentrates power in Winchester Hall, and risks duplicating services while eroding public oversight and tax fairness. They urge strengthening the existing Sheriff’s Department instead.

Congressmen Hoodwinked by Iranian Group
About 200 members of Congress were persuaded to endorse a militant Iranian exile group the Mojahedin who seized the U S Embassy in 1979 and held 52 hostages. The group, calling itself the People Mojahedin Organization of Iran, has a history of violence and anti American rhetoric. State Department warnings confirm efforts to court lawmakers and pervading disinformation surrounding the group and its contacts on Capitol Hill.
