Obama administration ignores the big leaksIt is interesting that the Obama administration (and I am sure Attorney General Eric Holder knows nothing about this either) is going after a Fox News reporter, but nothing has been done about the White House leaks of the "hit list" for drones or the cyber attack on Iran ("U.S. targeted Fox reporter... |

Baltimore needs to get the Inner Harbor under control
I read yet another article in The Sun about a teen gang fight at the Inner Harbor on Monday ("Large group of teenagers fighting in downtown Baltimore," May 20). This kind of occurrence has gotten to be way too frequent. My wife and I were witness to one of these events two summers ago, and it was...
Good riddance to Waddell
I read with great relief that Towson University Athletic Director Mike Waddell is leaving after a two and a half year tenure, and a very turbulent past half-year at the school ("Athletic director Waddell leaving for post at Arkansas," May 21).
Art Outside festival was a delight
Fred Rasmussen wrote a terrific article about Sunday's inaugural Art Outside at Druid Hill Park ("Arts patron revives Druid Hill outdoor festival," May 17).
Olszewski: Dumber with age?
Baltimore County Councilman John Olszewski Sr. insults voters ("Councilman didn't disclose jobs," May 19). Did he think he was smarter than everyone else?
GOP may waste its opportunity
Regarding the recent Obama administration scandals, The Sun editorial makes a correct analysis that Republican "overreaching," "hyperbolic comparison to Watergate," "calls for a special prosecutor," and "talk about impeachment" of President Barack Obama are based on hope and accusation, not on any...
Why didn't Oklahoma close schools?
A tornado of epic proportions hit Oklahoma, which claims to have the finest weather forecasting in the nation specifically because of the tornado threat ("Tornado in Oklahoma leaves dozens dead," May 21). These forecasters note when tornadoes are imminent and attempt to save lives through warning.

Home Depot has rights, too
This is in response to the letter writer from Catonsville who wrote that he was "appalled" by Home Depot's decision to no longer allow a hot dog stand in front of its stores ("Home Depot hammers the little guy, again," May 20). The main thing that the writer fails to remember is that Home Depot owns...
Gun research a waste of time, money
Johns Hopkins University receives billions of tax dollars and for the past 23 years they have used these tax dollars to support a Center for Gun Policy and Research ("Gun research is not biased," May 20). What a waste of our tax dollars.
Dwyer should be held to a higher standard
Reading the article on Del. Don Dwyer's boating-while-intoxicated sentence was interesting ("Dwyer sentenced to 30 days in jail in drunken boating incident," May 14). Drinking and boating is playing Russian roulette. If you are in an accident you may survive but you may destroy others lives. He...
The IRS was doing its job
After listening to the news reports for the past week, I think I must be the only person in America who thinks that the IRS is supposed to look for people and groups who might try to evade taxes ("Taxing the tea party," May 13).
County is making a mistake in considering the sale of the North Point Government Center
I grew up in Dundalk and began my career in recreation, parks, and conservation with the Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks. My career took me to Harford County and Los Angeles. I came home to Baltimore County in 1995 as the director of Recreation and Parks. Throughout my career,...
Maryland has what business needs
Recent letters have trashed Maryland as a business friendly state. As the founder of one of Maryland's largest engineering firms employing about 1,000 engineers and scientists, we have found Maryland to be the ideal place to locate and grow a business. Businesses in the 21st century seek good...
Alonso isn't getting his due
Saturday's "your turn" pieces on education reform ("The fallacy of reform" and "Diversity, choice key for schools," May 18) did not seem to address Baltimore City schools' educational history nor requirements in a practical, yet considerate way.
MARC benefits Baltimore, so why are the rest of us paying for it?
In regards to the article about MARC adding weekend service to Washington ("MARC gets a boost," may 20): Once again we are supporting Baltimore City with our gas tax for the MARC train to go from Baltimore to Washington. Next it will be the Red and Purple lines. I am sick and tired of supporting...
The deadliest time of year for teens on the road
Memorial Day marks the beginning of the 100 deadliest days of the year on our nation's roads for teen drivers. Traditionally during the summer months, hundreds of teens are killed in car crashes and their families devastated. These deaths are unacceptable, especially because these crashes are...
The Sun buries Obama scandals
It looks like this heavily Democratic state's main publication is going to ignore the problems of this administration just like the White House is. What is on the front page of The Sun? is there any mention of Benghazi? The IRS and their illegal actions or the Associated Press being screened?...
