Sound Off: Jan. 14

ACA: There is only one way the Democrats will agree to get rid of Obamacare. Name it Trumpcare.

NEW MEXICO: Times are hard, and our governor had to make tough choices, so students, teachers and law enforcement have to tighten their belts to preserve the prosperity of the "hardworking families" that own the corporations she spent the money on in good times.

TERRORISM: Obama's military decisions regarding Syria appear to have enhanced the presence of ISIS, rather than the hopes of the rebels. And his decisions, of course, reflect the questionable quality of military advice.

OBAMA: Let's get it straight. Obama owns his own blunders. He can't pass that buck.

TRUMP CABINET: The so-called Trump news conference is just smoke and mirrors to detract from the confirmation hearings of his toxic Cabinet appointees. These people are going to destroy the government and the United States. Wait for it.

SPACEPORT: The leading advocate for the spaceport tax was then-Las Cruces Mayor Bill Mattiace. However, we have the tax because the people of Doña Ana County voted for it.

SPEECH: Trump tweeted attacks on Meryl Streep when she called him on his bullying of the disabled, immigrants and free press while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes. Trump called her underrated. She has won three Oscars and has 18 Oscar nominations. Trump is the one who is blatantly overrated.

LAS CRUCES: I pay almost $9 in gross receipts tax on every $100 I spend. If the city is replacing street lights with gross receipts tax money, why haven't they replaced the dingy amber lights in my neighborhood with the new LED lights?

DRIVERS: I have been in Las Cruces for a year and a half. Love it for the most part, except for the drivers. Running red lights and not stopping at stop signs daily. For you who drive your ugly big trucks that don't care who you hit or who you tailgate, karma!

SUN-NEWS: The spelling, punctuation and just plain incorrect English has gone from sublime to ridiculous to the laughable at the Sun-News. It was bad enough on New Year's Day when we were treated to nine different reporters that had over 24 spelling and grammatical errors. Some of these errors were not small.

TV GRID: You forgot to print the TV schedule in Monday's paper. I am pretty upset about that. (Editor's note: Explaining how that happened is a kind of convoluted, but we've talked to the folks who made the error. Our apologies.)

MINIMUM WAGE: I hope the closing of Sitel is a huge wake up call for citizens of Las Cruces and the City Council that raising the minimum wage has not been good for business. We've had so many places close or be affected or raise prices already.

GUN CONTROL: I'm a fairly liberal Democrat, but I like my guns. You're constantly harping after these attacks, like the one in Florida, that guns ought to be controlled. You hear of the man, who had an obvious mental health issue. He walked into the FBI. All the warning signs were there and they ignored it. You think the way to prevent these kinds of shootings is to make more gun regulations. I don't think so. I will continue to carry my gun everywhere I possibly can because there are no rules out there to keep psychos like that from having guns.
