Roswell police deserve highest praise

My niece, Natalie Henderson, and her friend, Carter Davis, were the two teenagers murdered behind the Publix in Roswell on Aug. 1. I am writing to commend the Roswell Police Department and the other agencies involved in the investigation for their diligence, excellence, compassion and professionalism. In particular, I want to thank Detective J.T. Bennett and her team who worked around the clock to secure an arrest in less than 48 hours, and who have kept both families fully informed throughout the investigation, ensuring that we first learned disturbing details of the crimes from them, rather than from the media. In recent years, police officers and departments in this country have been subjected to harsh criticism, in some cases properly so. In this case, however, the City of Roswell Police and those who assisted them deserve only the highest praise.

Clintons’ contributions self-serving

I see in the Clinton’s 2015 tax return that they gave a $1 million charitable contribution. On the surface, that sounds generous and benevolent. However, when one looks deeper at their contribution, 96 percent went to their own Clinton Foundation in which it is reported that only 10 percent of the Foundation’s spending is for real charity work. The other 90 percent pays for the Clintons’ and their entourage luxury travel, hotels and meals while they are supposedly out gallivanting around fund-raising, back-slapping, campaigning, etc. What phony generosity … at the tax payers expense.
