<b>‘Ugly and evil’</b>
Your May 4 (editorial “Jones should stick to county business”) about Sheriff (Richard) Jones really ticked me off. You stated, “We would prefer that our sheriff concentrate his energies on enforcing current laws, not initiating new laws and not using his office as a political soapbox.”By “we,” I guess you ...

<b>‘Show you’re legal’</b>
Hooray for Gov. Jan Brewer and Arizona for passing a bill to curb illegal immigration.

Estimates ...
