Our View
| We need less national, more local government June 14 at 9:20 am It’s time to start reconsidering the make-up of governments in the United States and produce a system where local people can have more control over the way they live.

| Big abortion clinic is planned nearby May 24 at 2:43 pm Teaching the value of life amidst so much terror and violence in our lives will suffer a setback if the abortion clinic scheduled to be built on South Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans is realized. Construction is scheduled to begin this week on the 7,000-square-foot building. |
|
| Internet sales taxes could change things May 10 at 9:27 am Sales taxes on the Internet may soon become a regular thing if a bill which passed in the U. S.

| Let’s quit questioning how to save coast April 19 at 9:23 am Louisiana’s master plan for saving its coast is now being criticized by some who claim it needs more study because it could poison the wetlands by diverting water from the Mississippi River.

|
| We need to put North Korea to rest April 12 at 10:11 am Even though South and North Korea are very small countries, they are a major issue in the way the world turns in the future. It is not likely that North Korea, one of the few dedicated communist countries in the world today, will have its way. It does not have support from the rest of the world. |

| Major hurdle to West Bank levee is lack of priorities April 12 at 10:10 am Dear Editor, The flood that is sure to eventually happen will devastate St. Charles Parish.

| Bayou Gauche has been betrayed by government, resident says April 12 at 10:09 am Dear Editor, As a resident of Bayou Gauche, I am stunned and very angry that we have been betrayed by our government at all levels -local, state and especially the federal government! |
|
| Sales tax proposal should not be abandoned April 05 at 1:40 pm Gov. Bobby Jindal’s efforts to get the state income tax transformed to a state sales tax seems to have gone astray somewhat.

| A new way would finance our nation March 08 at 10:52 am The USA is a divided nation in these times of partiality in national politics.
