As a resident of the Central Susquehanna Valley, I am writing to express my gratitude to our state representatives, Merle Phillips and Russ Fairchild, for their many years of public service.
They faithfully represented the fiscal, social and free enterprise values of our area.
I would encourage voters of the 85th District to support Fred Keller in the upcoming election this fall.
I am confident Fred would continue the legacy of Representatives Phillips and Fairchild.
Chris Bingaman,
Kreamer

Pay for home care
On Dec. 15, President Barack Obama announced a proposed rule that would extend federal minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers. This is an exciting development for home care workers across the country.

Public investment
Public investment? Pennsylvania's funding of our local schools is a crying shame. Sure, times are tough, but the state managed to come up with $10 million for Bucknell University, a private school, to have a new bookstore in downtown Lewisburg. I'm still not sure how Bucknell wrangled that deal or why a private university is entitled to public funding.

Ill-conceived measure
Ill-conceived plan. It is imperative that motorists drive safely and courteously when approaching bicyclists. The only problem with the new bicyclist law requiring motorists to allow four feet of distance between their cars and the bicyclists is that this will place the car in the opposing travel lane or require it to cross the yellow line in a no-passing zone.

In the Dec. 20, 2011 issue of The Daily Item, I read the article "Childhood disorder bolsters research."

Public obligation
As part of her argument for home schooling, "Studying in Pajamas", Jan. 20, Joanna Wert dismisses public schools and "the majority of American workers" with a few condescending generalizations. She goes on to extol her own children's virtues and accomplishments, and then lists famous people whom she claims were home-schooled.
