The Gazette welcomes letters to the editor about public-interest issues. All letters must include the writer’s name, address and daytime phone number. Anonymous letters will be discarded. The Gazette reserves the right to condense and correct letters without altering intent. When available space is a consideration, shorter letters of 350  words or fewer will be given preference.

We will publish every letter we receive unless it is libelous. All letters become the property of the Gazette .Writers are limited to one published non-rebuttal letter per 30 days.
