opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

Note: The letter posted below is
in response to this commentary by Jim Killebrew:
Government-mandated minimum wage
___
To the editor:
Although I see where Jim would have a problem with a higher
minimum wage, what he is not saying is the minimum wage for servers
and the food industries is around $2.30, not $7.25, and that is set
up so their tips can be taxed.
McDonald's did a study on the minimum wage being raised to $15 an
hour, and it would add a cost of 64 cents to a quarter-pound
hamburger meal.
I disagree with this article. Not all the facts are truthful.
