Letters may be mailed to the news office, brought in person, or e-mailed to  .  The Enterprise opinion pages are an open forum for our community. We encourage readers to express their thoughts about issues that appear in this newspaper or affect the community. Letters should be brief (with an outside limit of 1,000 words) and must include the writer’s name, address, and phone number for verification. Writers are entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts. Election letters are published right up until an election. Editor’s notes or related stories are published for context. The editors may reject letters that have been published elsewhere. Deadline for letters is Tuesday at noon. If letter-writers submit attachments, like photographs and maps, they will be printed as space permits. Third-party documents may be published with letters online but cannot be printed.
