In response to the letter from Jim Chwirut in the Jan. 8 edition, I strongly agree with his suggestion to focus the Letters to the Editor on local and regional issues. State and national issues can be taken up in news sources whose readership focus is on those larger regions.
Please allow the space allotted in the paper for readers’ opinions to discuss all things related to the local area.

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to newsroom@capegazette.com. Letters must be signed and include a telephone number and address for verification. Please keep letters to 500 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content and length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days. Letters restating information and opinions already offered by the same author will not be used. Letters must focus on issues of general, local concern, not personalities or specific businesses.
