Ignoring facts I was taken aback by Tracy Warner’s “Stopping us, one pipeline at a time” (Jan. 20). Surely, this is the Republican stance on the issue, but his thoughts are riddled with inaccurate assumptions.

A high price Bravo to Kay Adam (The Safety Valve, Jan. 13). I would have loved to attend the Mannheim Steamroller concert at Town Toyota Center.

During my four-year tenure on her team and throughout the following years, she has perfectly embodied the characteristics of a coach, mentor and friend. Susan’s professional accomplishments and encouraging attitude make her dismissal questionable.
