Animal response

To the Editor: In response to “About the animals,” (Daily Sun, Oct. 4) this person is assuming that most people are abusive to free animals. I pointed out that free adoption existed when I first moved here. I thought long and hard about this with concern for the cost vs. loss of pets to euthanasia because so many pets could go to good homes if they can afford the policy mandated for spay and neuter responsibility. I don’t believe most people think ... that an adopted pet be used for fighting, abuse, fed to snakes, hoarding, etc.

Respectfully, a big-time pet lover,

Kathi Davison





Jobs, jobs, jobs

To the Editor: I moved here almost four years ago for a better job opportunity and the chance to be closer to my family here in Texas. I didn’t grow up here, but rather, “chose to be here.” I have noticed something about this community through discussion that is bothering me to all end. In a day and age when companies are leaving this town (Jeld-Wen), do a few people here choose to run the proposed power plant project, needed tax revenue windfalls, and its jobs out of town? Please correct me if I’m wrong and there is some other circumstance I was unaware of. I hope all involved in making the plant a distant memory are happy. Thanks y’all. Maybe you will volunteer at the soup kitchen this year and next, or better yet try to run the next company out of town.

Economic inquiry

To the Editor: I don’t understand why with the economy being so bad that it costs $589.47 to have a mammogram done and in a few days I got another bill for $110 charge to have it read. We are constantly told to have this done every year, without insurance how do they expect us to afford this?

Another thing I don’t understand is why when we have had days of rain, the soccer field is being watered every day while it is pouring down rain. I thought the city was running low on funds for such a waste.

Can anything be done about these matters? Feeling very helpless and not very caring.
