In response to Glen Peterson’s letter asking the Redmond Reporter to “Get rid of Villeneuve,” how very like the right wing to want to silence opposing voices.
It’s not enough that they control 90 percent of talk radio and they have an entire TV network, Fox, promoting their right-wing Republican agenda. They won’t be happy until they have achieved Karl Rove’s goal of 100 years of Republican rule.
As a life-long American conservative (Taft for President, 1952 campaign) and a staunch defender of First Amendment press liberty, I want to express my being in favor of retaining Mr. Villeneuve as one of your opinion columnists.
Scott Harlan rails against traffic cameras in Redmond.
I would bet his anger stems from a citation that he or someone close to him received for violating the law. Please let Scott know that he and his family can opt-out of the process. It’s very simple. Don’t run red lights, you won’t get a ticket in the mail.
In the March, 18 edition of the Redmond Reporter, you printed a letter from your reader Mr. Peterson with the headline “Get Rid of Villeneuve.” According to Mr. Peterson, Mr. Villeneuve’s articles don’t reflect the opinions of the general readership of your paper. I would like you to know that I always look forward to reading Mr. Villeneuve’s columns in the Redmond Reporter.

Has anyone noticed the bumpers on the newer cars? There are none.
Instead the old reinforced chrome-plated bumpers have been replaced with a piece of plastic or aluminun which crumples with the slightest impact and seems non-resistant to any impact.
No one is looking at the safety problems that the nay-sayers to red light cameras should be aware of.
The only things that they are focusing upon is the probability that they will be ticketed for a minor traffic infraction that can and will kill someone.
Rolling stops also are extremely serious and illegal.
What is it with all this fuss about cameras and red lights?
One of the first basic rules when applying for a drivers license is, “you are to stop at all red lights.”
If you feel you are above the law and are free to run red lights then you better think again. The cameras are there to catch the red light runner, period.
The police blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Redmond Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers.

Redmond resident John Cherrie rides four miles to and from work everyday on his bicycle — and every once in a while he will have a scary close encounter with a car.
“Every few months, I come home and tell my wife, ‘yeah, it was another close one today,'” said Cherrie, a senior program manager at Microsoft.
Cherrie believes a controversial pilot program in which the city uses cameras to catch traffic violators and fine them will ultimately improve safety for everyone who uses roads — pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.
