Last month the News-Gazette printed a cleverly written lampooning in a letter to the editor so expertly craf ted, I expect most folks mi s u n derstood its intent. I did until I reflected on the well-known facts not mentioned. 01/30/2024 11:00 PM

‘Consider Impact’ Of Airport On County

‘Consider Impact’ Of Airport On County

Jan. 29 Editor, The News-Gazette: Does the county need an airport? The city of Lexington is surrounded by the following Virginia regional airports: Lynchburg, 34.3 miles away; Roanoke/Blacksburg, 43.1 miles away; Shenandoah Valley, 44.6 miles away; and Charlottesville/ Albemarle, 59.3 miles away. (per ClosestAirportTo.com.] One argument for an airport is that it would bring more business to Rockbridge County. What kind of business would come? Manufacturing and new businesses require facilities and workers. This means (1) less open/farm land to accommodate the factories/stores, (2) housing and public services (power/sewage/ garbage) for new resident employees, and (3) roads for increased traffic. (And probably a loss of deer and other wildlife in the area.) In addition, the airport will require continual maintenance and FAA required standards. 01/30/2024 11:00 PM

Reader Perplexed By GOP’s Immigration Positions

Jan. 29, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette, The Biden administration’s policies which invest in creating high paying jobs for the middle class has brought us back from the brink of “certain” recession. Salaries now outpace inflation (which has dropped below prepandemic, Trump era levels) and consumers are spending, making the U.S. economy one of the strongest in the world. 01/30/2024 11:00 PM
