Letters note: With the May 11 special election approaching, readers are invited to submit letters pertaining to key issues and general observations concerning the election campaign. However, we will not publish letters or submissions that directly endorse or criticize candidates for state or local offices. The Times also will not endorse candidates, but will instead focus our efforts on presenting their qualifications and positions in our news columns.
