So you heard something or read something that makes you think or even makes you mad. Do you just let it go or do you voice an opinion? Over the last few weeks the number of letters we have received on numerous issues is the most we have seen in 10 years. Not since the days of the fire services contract for North Bend have we received so many letters.

It’s the democratic process at work, and as a newspaper, we love it.

So if an issue such as the recent dissent over school speakers or relevant teachers, or maybe the school bond, or the hospital is something you have been pondering, let your voice be heard. Submit a letter to the editor to editor@valleyrecord.com
