Vox Pops, from the Latin vox populi or “Voice of the People,” are the opinions of our readers and reflect subjects of current interest. We welcome letters from our readers on any subject of current interest. We request letters be limited to 500 words or less. Keep in mind, letters may be edited.

Rules for election related Vox Pops: The Star News opinion pages provide a forum for public debate on a variety of issues. In regard to election-oriented letters, preference will be given to submissions that address issues rather than those that focus on candidates. Letters in support or opposition to candidates should focus on the issues. Personal attacks against candidates will not be run. The Vox Pops section is an appropriate vehicle for your organization to express its opinion on an issue of community interest or concern.

LETTERS MUST BE SIGNED AND CONTAIN THE ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OF THE WRITER. We reserve the right to edit for length, grammar or libel. We will contact you in person to verify authorship of the Vox Pop.

We generally do not accept Vox Pop letters that include thank-yous or poetry, however they are available as a classified or display ad.
