Most North Carolinians, no matter our race, occupation, or country of origin, work hard for our families. But we donât all get paid enough to make ends meet, no matter how hard we work.
I came to this country from Honduras over 20 years ago after Hurricane Mitch devastated my home country. Thanks to the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allows people like me to live and work legally in the U.S., Iâve been able to contribute to this country and provide for my family. But with the wages I make, it has never been easy.

I read and agree with the writer in last week’s editorial that the Shelton Student Transportation Services (SSTS) drivers, managers and staff have worked diligently to provide prompt, coordinated and timely service to our students.
The recent short comings and criticisms of the SSTS are, however, not fair nor deserved. His perception of mismanagement is completely off the charts and he should be careful to make such allegations without looking seriously at all the moving parts of the SSTS and Shelton public school system as they have had to plan and re-plan through the last almost year of angst and upheaval from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Chances are, you personally know someone whose livelihood depends on our line of work.Â
All of that is important, and deeply so; communities across Colorado pay for roads, schools and first responders with tax dollars that our industry pumps into the economy. But our mission doesnât end with jobs, dollars and cents: If it needs repeating, the risks of climate change are real, human activity is a contributor, and we have a responsibility to do something about it.Â

On the occasion of International Women s Day, let us talk about a few women who dared to love the unlawful. Hybristophilia - that s the word used for people who fall in love with lawbreakers.

As the 2021 legislative session continues, members of the House Republican Caucus have made the public safety and security of our neighborhoods one of our biggest priorities. We ve heard loud and clear from our constituents and partners in law enforcement about the unacceptable increase in motor vehicle thefts and violent crimes. This cannot continue. House Republicans are pushing for clear solutions to empower law enforcement, protect victims and see that our laws are enforced.
