Letter: Hip hip hooray for history leader Mac Burns - The Astorian

4 days ago | dailyastorian.com | Elleda Wilson

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 Hats off to Mac Burns. I grew up in Astoria in the 1950s and 1960s. I moved away after high school, and returned in 2002. At that time, I was invited to join the board of the Clatsop County Historical Society. At that same time, the board had recently hired a new director, Mac Burns. Also at this same time, talk was developing toward the bicentennial for the founding of Astoria by the Astor Party.

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 We don’t do kings in America. The American Revolution was born from a deep resistance to tyranny. Our founders fought to free themselves from the grip of an unchecked monarch, rejecting taxation without representation and demanding a government by the people, for the people. Not for the billionaires.

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 The power of a presidential pardon is meant to uphold justice, yet President Donald Trump’s latest clemency decisions seem to be more about loyalty than fairness.

Letter: U.S. debt sets stage for our decline - The Astorian

4 days ago | dailyastorian.com | Elleda Wilson

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 Currently our national debt is greater than our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The interest on that debt exceeds our nation’s defense budget. The current federal budget being proposed will add trillions of dollars to the national debt. How likely is it for such a nation to rise back up, a debtor nation, one that doesn’t pay its bills?

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 Our local Job Corps was canceled after 61 years of supporting youth ages 16-24 with education and job skills.

Letter: ‘Authoritarians win when people don’t resist’ - The Astorian

4 days ago | dailyastorian.com | Elleda Wilson

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 If you really believe in what America stands for, then you will stand up against what is happening now. What is happening now is the opposite of everything our nation’s founders believed in and intended, and what so many defenders across many generations sacrificed to protect. What is happening now is the authoritarian capture of our democracy.
Letter: Photos tell of Oregon forest mismanagement - The Astorian

4 days ago | dailyastorian.com | Elleda Wilson

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 The front page photo from the Astorian’s coverage of the annual forest tour tells the naked truth about how we are managing our forests: We see a tight cluster of skinny fir trees on a hillside surrounded by a clearcut. They are huddled together like frightened children in the presence of an abusive father.
Letter: Let’s stand together for the Constitution - The Astorian

4 days ago | dailyastorian.com | Elleda Wilson

Published 6:00 am Tuesday, June 3, 2025 In a time when our democracy is under threat, and our president doesn’t know if he is required to uphold the Constitution, I was heartened to see that our Republican state representative, Cyrus Javadi, publicly state that his allegiance is to the Constitution. He understands the constitutional protections of due process and the rule of law protect all of us. Rep.
