Letters to the Editor
Brian Crain
State Sen. Josh Brecheen, R-Coalgate, doesn’t like Senate Bill 1712, last year’s legislation crafted to lessen the inhumane conditions found at “puppy mills” in our state. In fact, he dislikes it so much that he has introduced SB 15, which would repeal SB 1712.

Irish eyes are frowning
Letters to the Editor
Jay Hubbard
I must admit I’m a trifle disgusted (I don’t even think that’s the word for it) at some of the glasses in the March 9 “By the glass” article (Jenny Coon Peterson, March 9, Gazette). As a man who’s a trifle Irish, it makes my blood (or the liquor in my blood) boil to see an improper pint — one without a handle.
