As a former educator, I quite enjoyed Elsie Tidwell’s views, particularly with her being such a young age. Janine Fitzgerald and Mark Seis’ op-ed was right on, and the accompanying artwork was fitting. Connie Schultz’s take on Eric Cantor’s loss was insightful. A real election with a real choice is now possible! Fareed Zakaria showed more insight than the U.S. press usually shares. The editors’ two additions were great. The two political cartoons were (unfortunately) pretty accurate. And, a big thanks to the League of Women Voters for their letter to the editor updating their policy on agriculture.
