Cartoon ‘venomous, malicious and spiteful’
How disgusting to observe your hateful political cartoon slamming our president of the United States of America in your Oct. 12, 2017 issue. There is no excuse for your negativity that undermines our fairly elected leader by publishing this venomous, malicious and spiteful attempt to discredit our president.
The bird “Tweeting” on its nest of hatefully labled eggs with grotesque creatuers breaking out of each eggshell is disgusting. You state your newspaper “strives for accuracy in its news reporting” — how about accuracy on your other pages of influence?
You owe it to your readers to be respectful to those in authority. You have missed the mark and have fallen far below the standard afforded you.

Hazen did not try to pull a fast one
This is in response to the issue regarding Tim Hazen and the retirement home. I’ve known Tim to be a responsible, caring, exceptionally kind and involved man. Having read articles that insinuated he was trying to pull a fast one, I attended the Parks and Recreation meeting for clarification. I was astounded!
I wanted to understand why he was being maligned. I received information at the meeting that we, as the Camas community, never received. We only got a piece of the whole and a slanted piece! There was not a “fast one” between Tim and the City Council. There was no evil intent. There were no back alley deals being made. Those assumptions were extremely far from the truth.
