Teachers should not get jobless aid and law loophole
Congress should close the federal loophole letting teachers collect unemployment during summer.

Critics argue the practice is morally wrong and unfair to taxpayers, urging an extension of coverage only for truly unemployed teachers.

Carbondale bid controversy over mowing contract
Letters to the Editor recounts a disputed mowing and clearing contract awarded May 12 for 17 639 with a later May 19 reversal. The writer Gary W Bowen argues fairness and rule waivers favored a rival bidder William Kelley whose bid was $3 731 higher. The council's May 19 decision upheld Kelley after bid-bond and license issues surfaced post opening.
