In the September 16 edition of the Claremont COURIER letters to the editor was one by Maria J. Andrade regarding bringing flood waters from the East and Midwest to the West by a pipeline.
Since the southwestern United States is suffering a crisis stage drought, and states along the East Coast and going west experience most flooding in the country, why not consider a water pipeline from these areas to the Southwest?
Dear editor: In the discussions about the easement to Larkin Place, the notion of local control pops up frequently — and with it criticism of SB35 as the source of the loss of local control.
Dear editor: Recently, Claremont Mayor Jed Leano left a flyer soliciting citizen feedback. My response remains unanswered. Our family moved to Claremont five years ago for the vibrant small community, scenic parks, and schools. Like any city though, there are opportunities for improvement. We live on Towne Avenue, a loud and busy semi-truck thoroughfare between the I-10 and CA-210 freeways that partially divides Pomona and Claremont. We anticipated traffic noise when we bought our home but were surprised by the reality of it. Repaved during the pandemic, Towne has become another drag strip 24 hours a day.

Dear editor: The first edition of the COURIER to come out since Roe v. Wade was overturned [July 1] and you choose to feature the views of local religious leaders?
Congratulations, Mick Rhodes, on your promotion to COURIER editor. I appreciated the report in the July 8 issue on the many exciting ideas you have for subjects of future stories and the fact that your staff will increase with a new full-time reporter.
Dear editor: Fireworks displays have become a highly honored tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July. There is another perspective, however, as anyone who works/volunteers in animal shelters and/or wildlife refuge, rehabilitation organizations can attest.
Dear editor: I read your article on the city’s budget in your June 17 edition. I noticed that there was no mention of fire protection cost.
Different perspectives Dear editor: The June 10 edition of the COURIER did its usual great job of presenting different perspectives on an important public issue. In this case the precipitating subject was the gun slaughter of innocents in Uvalde, Texas. First, was Mike Boos’ well thought out responses to the Republican and NRA disinformation and […]
Dear editor: Recently, the COURIER ran a notice as a courtesy to the City of Claremont (“Residential construction sign regulations”; April 29, 2022) reminding “..
Dear editor: Republicans and Democrats should be able to agree that no president, regardless of party, should be able to obstruct and undermine the will of the American people or exploit weaknesses in our political system for personal gain.

I see the candidate signs in the yards, I see the signs at the corner of Foothill and Indian Hill. The questions in my mind are who am I voting for and what district do I live in?
