Welcome to Weekend Dialogue, a weekly column where I will go over some reader feedback with the hopes of creating a constructive back-and-forth between myself, the editor of this page, and you, the reader.
This time, I’ve chosen a few comments I’ve gotten over the past week concerning the importance of local issues over what is happening on the national stage, as well as the roles of both the Times and Free Press and the politically left and right perspectives they represent.
While I received multiple email responses, I’ve chosen just a few, as I’ll do each week. If you want to send some feedback, email me directly at bsessoms@timesfreepress.com.
Each has been edited for clarity and brevity. Let’s get into it.
My favorite opinion pieces are about our local issues. Always interesting to read. Often the two sides are closer together than one might think.
