Letter to the editor: Proud of Justice Taylor

From submitted reports Submitted report The McAlester News-Capital Wed Jan 26, 2011, 10:59 AM CST

McALESTER — Editor:

This is in regards to a story that was in your newspaper a while back. It was about Oklahoma Chief Justice Steven Taylor. He was being sworn in as the new chief justice of Oklahoma. Apparently, they usually have festivities to go with this honor, which apparently meant spending quite a bit of money.

I was very proud of Chief Justice Taylor; he declined spending money that Oklahoma really doesn’t have. He opted for a simple ceremony of swearing in and nothing more.

Now, in hard times, why can’t other leaders do the same thing? Is saying, “look at me” so important? What about our children and education?

I salute you, Chief Justice Taylor, and I am very proud to call you an Oklahoman and a McAlester native.

I’ve read a lot of negative letters to the editor lately. I thought something positive would be a nice change.

Paula A. Walker

Editor:
There are plans to cut expenses of government, yet cuts aren’t always justified and if they affect people directly, there is a lot of unhappiness. Plans to close the Social Security office in Hugo is a recent example.

The President is in Israel saying “we’re a democracy.” I like to think I’m pretty “up” on current events but I guess I missed this major change in our government.

Editor: Who's in charge of you?
Editor:
You don’t need that! We have been hearing a lot of that lately, mostly by the left, but also by the right. They are mostly talking about semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines this time. Of course, we don’t need them
