Letter: Clearly, Clinton was not qualified
Whether there was a cover-up or a confused response in the Benghazi fiasco that caused the death of the American ambassador and three other Americans is not the central point to me. Of course those are serious accusations. But what concerns me more is the fact the attacks in Libya should never have occurred in the first place.By Tom R. Kovach, Nevis, Minn. , May 25, 2013
Letter: Argue issue on merits, not religion
Recent actions of the North Dakota Legislature designed to restrict abortion have, predictably, aroused fury of many on the other side. The outrage frequently takes the form of denouncing those who seek to impose their religious convictions on others.By Grael Gannon, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Irresponsible GOP disserved ND oil country
Growing up in western North Dakota, I was extremely blessed to have the vast beauty of endless farm fields and the breathtaking badlands surrounding my tiny hometown of Killdeer.By Rep. Kylie Oversen , May 25, 2013
Letter: It’s about heart, most of all
There’s nothing more rewarding than being part of a city of more than 100,000 people who come together each year for the Fargo Marathon and make it as popular as a national holiday. Not only is the marathon about stamina and athleticism, it’s about commitment, determination, teamwork, accomplishment and, most of all, heart.By Brian Schneider, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Moorhead councilman appears lost
It appears that Moorhead City Council member Mark Hintermeyer is completely lost. His comments in an article in the May 18 Forum, “Miffed by message: ND billboards meant to attract Minn. businesses and shoppers rile some in Moorhead,” sure makes it appear that way.By Jim Hanson, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Raising tuitions not the answer
Students attending a university in North Dakota shouldn’t have to face such a dramatic rise in tuition. North Dakota’s goal has always been to attract more people to the state, and aside from our booming oil industry that took off again in 2008, many college-age students are drawn to the area because of a lower cost in education.By Holli Hauger, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: We need more educators like Coach Ed Fortin
I had the privilege of being mentored, guided and instructed by a man whom we called coach. Ed Fortin had a unique training style that commanded the utmost respect.By Scott Fergen, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Stiffen penalty for failure to yield
I agree that it is important to pull over when you hear fire sirens because you can delay the firetruck from its destination. Because of the delay of the firetrucks, more deaths could result. It is disrespectful to the firefighters and the people in need.By Michael Kershaw, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Our small schools are not inefficient
There has been much talk recently regarding the Fargo School District’s long- range facility planning process and, like any good topic, opinions on what should be done with the district’s schools are not difficult to come by.By David Huebner, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: If he’s guilty of fraud, then toss him in jail
Joshua Gatlin ought to be thrown in jail. He is one of the ex-Bison football players who pleaded guilty to petition fraud last fall. He, among others, was ordered to serve 50 hours of community service as part of his probation (Fargo Forum online May 21).By Monica J. Stich, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Increase liquor tax in both states
In response to the May 15 commentary “Liquor Tax Increase Disaster for Minnesota’s Border Cities” by Bob Leslie:By Race Hoglund, Fargo , May 25, 2013
Letter: Put meaning back in Memorial Day
It’s time that the American public takes back days such as Memorial Day for what they were created for. Memorial Day is not for shopping or playing.By Lyle Hopewell, Pingree, N.D. , May 25, 2013
Letter: Smokers, clean up your messes
Smokers, please consider the fact that everyone who walks their dogs is expected to carry a plastic bag to deposit the pet’s droppings so the people who use those sidewalks after them don’t have a mess to look at.By Jan Richter, Fargo , May 25, 2013

Letter: Moorhead cleanup crews did excellent job
As a Moorhead resident, I am so grateful to the city of Moorhead cleanup crew. In one day last week, we had our garbage, yard waste, recycling and big stuff from the garage picked up. It was such a relief to see the boulevards empty all around town as the week progressed.By Sue Ellingson, Moorhead , May 24, 2013
