Planning Board votes no facts needed to zone Park County

Editor:

Wow Enterprise, thanks for reporting on the “public meeting” the public couldn’t go to.

Two nuggets from your article: the zoning regulation is to prevent uncontrolled development in Park County, and the planning board votes that no facts are needed to prove their case.

Board members seem to have forgotten that land-planning finding of facts are part of the Growth Policy.

In support of robust contact tracing in Montana

Editor:

I much appreciated the article on contact tracing in the May 21 Enterprise. As we have now been taught, the three T’s of eradicating COVID from our communities in order to flatten the curve and break the chain of transmission are Testing, Tracing and Treatment/Isolation.

High school kids help support summer economy; jobs teach skills

Editor:

Livingston is a summer paradise for both locals and tourists. After eight months of winter, we get to enjoy the full glory of long summer days, but for local businesses summer can be a struggle due to lack of employees.

Gov. Bullock’s actions on coronavirus to be applauded

Editor:

I am writing to applaud Governor Steve Bullock’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Montana. As a retired nurse and having witnessed other viral outbreaks, I recognize that the COVID-19 virus can have devastating effects on our health and well-being. I am thankful to have a governor who follows the advice of medical professionals when confronted with a public health crisis like this one.

He has done his job so that we can do ours.

Is Trump getting payment from Mexico for border wall?

Editor:

Now that Donald Trump has decided to slap a coat of black paint on his partially built border wall with Mexico, I’m wondering how he’s doing in getting payment from that country, as he promised during his campaign and early into his administration. It’s been pretty quiet on that front.

Perhaps another example of how he bilks the American public?

The taste of President Donald Trump’s boots

Editor:

I am old enough to remember when our country was the smartest, best-informed country in the world. Heck, a 5-year-old could remember those times. But we now have a president who calls our best and brightest, people who have dedicated their lives to gathering the best information in so many fields, the “deep state.”

Meaning of quarantine

Editor:

Jay Kiefer and I are friendly so I know he won’t mind my ribbing him about his recent regurgitation of a bumper stick — er, I mean, letter to the editor on April 28.

Hopefully those parents following Mr. Kiefer’s wise advice to give their children a lesson in the meaning of the word “quarantine” will do so with an understanding of the word’s origin in Italian (medieval Venetian actually, but these finer points are probably wasted on the kiddos).

Some heroes wear aprons 

Editor:

We have many heroes to celebrate during the coronavirus pandemic who have kept our community members with the health care, food, supplies and help they need. National School Lunch Hero Day is May 1st, which is a perfect opportunity to thank the heroes who wear aprons instead of capes — school nutrition professionals.
