Jeff Jandrey's Letter to the EditorIssue Date: June 23, 2022Jeff Jandrey Dear Editor,
I'd like to respond to two letters in the June 15th edition, one regarding immigration and the other January 6th and guns. I've read both carefully, find common concern with both and applaud their courage and conviction to publicly air those concerns. Still, I beg to disagree.
