Letter to the Editor for March 21, 2019

Time to address poverty in America

Thanks for meeting the gun/school safety issues we face head on with an editorial. (“We didn’t start the ‘far right’ fire” in the Camas-Washougal Post-Record, Feb. 21, 2019.) I was not too surprised at all the responses from the earlier article, but saddened that we aren’t addressing the crisis of basic needs for 40 percent of Americans who live in poverty or are one $400 financial crisis away.
