Bring on the opinions — but keep it civil

Lake Tahoe News welcomes and encourages a lively, though civil, discussion as election season heats up.

Everyone’s opinion is important and relevant. If you disagree with what is written, feel free to say so. But refrain from attacking the person who wrote about something you disagree with. Attack the words, not the messenger.

Plenty of decisions are going to be made by voters on the South Shore, and in California and Nevada. Be informed.

The author’s name, hometown and phone number must accompany all guest columns and letters to Lake Tahoe News. The latter is used for verification, not publication.

The last day LTN will publish any letters/columns is noon Oct. 31. This gives people time to comment on whatever may be published at the last minute.

The goal is to have no political commentary published Nov. 2 – Election Day. So, please, get in your opinions prior to then.

And remember to vote.
