Letters to Editor - bLetters

We welcome your opinion on public issues, in either of two ways. You can submit a letter to the editor for possible publication in the printed edition. The Virginian-Pilot welcomes letters to the editor on all topics, although concise letters (150 words or less) on public issues will receive priority. Letters may be edited for length, style and clarity and writers are limited to one published letter every month. Please add your name, city, street address and daytime telephone number for confirmation.

The other way is to comment on the published letters in this blog. In this online forum, you can comment as much as you want by using the comment box at the end of each entry.

SPSA must be sold

Every citizen in every city using SPSA ought to contact his or her city council and demand that SPSA be sold to a private investor. Its leaders think we should pay for their gross mismanagement any time they get into financial trouble.

We should not stand for it. These are hard economic times, and every dollar should be spent wisely. Further support for incompetence and mismanagement should not be an option. Maybe having a private company monopoly could be bad; however, if the agreements are written correctly, the cities should be protected.
