Sound Off for April 9, 2016

Support system

Don't forget to pay your taxes — 12 to 20 million illegal aliens are depending on it.

Why bother?

April 3 Sunday Forum columns, seemed, excepting Will's baseball trivia, like by-products of the Democratic National Committee. Reading all wasted time and a hot shower was necessary after slogging through Mary Sanchez's tantrum.

Safety agenda

I have a idea for the Together 2016 media campaign. Use this significant consortium of businesses to tell our legislators we do not want concealed weapons on the CSU campus.

No escape

I've seen enough of Donald Trump to last me the rest of my life. No need to change the channel — he's on all of them.

‘Prosper’ indeed

Pleased

Love the new look of the paper. Love everything about it. Thank you for giving us another puzzle.
