Although the Delray police said that the driver was not at fault, and that the “bicyclist was totally at fault,”the finding may not be that simple. [Police clear driver in fatal bike collision, February edition]

I would like to congratulate you for your interesting article on the Ocean Avenue Bridge [A century of tragedy, progress and controversy, January 2012]; and, since I was the “doctor that sued,” please allow me to add a few historical details.

I thought it important to thank you for your fine newspaper. I read a number of national papers daily, but nothing can compete with your publication for informative reporting on a local level.

Regardless of the “spin” you present in the article [Mary McCarty reflects on life after prison, May 2011] — and, yes, we know she paid her debt to society— she is still a corrupt politician who violated the trust we the voters placed in her.

Thank you for my "membership".
I was very impressed reading the article about Mary McCarty, I admire her frankness and the insights about her ordeal. I can only imagine the knockdown one might feel in such a situation. Something like being taken dow

Having finished reading your current issue (January 2011), I turned back to Page 2 so that I could re-read the editorial. Then I found some scissors and cut it out to save.
