Joe Cox: Hofmann a unique asset

As a practicing forester employed by N.C. State Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, I must comment on former dean Robert E. Brown’s May 10 letter “Sale of Hofmann Forest would benefit N.C. State.”

    Vincent DiSandro: Ill-times cartoon

    The N&O’s coverage of the Benghazi situation has been laughable. You continue to try to portray efforts by Republicans to get at the truth as political. Even the rest of the mainstream media have given up on this line. You are the only ones trying to sell this story. Your May 11 editorial...

    Elliot Galdy: Benghazi distraction

    Jobs, or lack thereof. Unsustainable national debt. A tax code in need of complete overhaul. Climate change and global warming. Crumbling infrastructure. Syria’s civil war. The proliferation of guns into the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. The growing divide between the haves...

    Steven Metzler: Benghazi blame

    The editorial cartoon that you chose to publish May 11 titled “Republicans struggle to coordinate their strategy for the Benghazi hearings” showed both arrogance and ignorance.

    R.L. Watson: Clear concern

    According to the Republicans’ own calculator, their tax plan will increase the taxes of a family of four earning $30,000 by nearly $1,000, while lowering the taxes of richer people.

    William Johnson: Permit process

    Regarding the May 12 letter “How about gun ID?”: The North Carolina concealed handgun permit law requires an N.C. driver’s license be displayed together with the concealed handgun permit. The permit number is identical to the N.C. driver’s license number.

    James Rapp: Hat in hand hospitals

    I read with amusement in the May 10 N&O that hospitals have launched an army of lobbyists to plead poverty. Shortly afterward I turned on the TV and got a dose of ads decrying the plight of hospitals. Perhaps they should ax the ads and the lobbyists and use the money saved to provide medical care...

    Rhonda Boehlert: $9.7 million wasted

    Regarding the May 16 article “Krzyzewski netted large sum in 2011”: Is Coach K worth all that? Really, when I have to struggle to help pay (not pay fully) for three kids to go to college this fall, and he gets $9.7 million?

    Frank Camp: Targeting is targeting

    There is no question that selecting certain groups on the basis of party affiliation for special scrutiny by the IRS is an egregious act. However, in North Carolina the Republican majority in the Senate has passed a bill that strips the Democratically controlled Wake County school board of its job...

    Chuck Galle: Cartoon’s message wrong

    I’m dismayed at the apparent message of the May 15 political cartoon. Is Joel Pett suggesting that the IRS is justified in harassing right-wing political organizations because they are against taxes, high taxes, paying taxes? Is such a stance (or any thought, belief or idea) really fair game...

    Rob Hamilton: Name’s the thing

    I see the nonstop panic that has gripped the right wing in this country ever since the nomination of Barack Obama as Democratic candidate for president has reached new depths of fantastical paranoia. Not content with wasting time and tax dollars continuing to investigate a nonexistent “cover...
