I had occasion to welcome Dan to to the Tucson area, and saw fit to send him the following letter. We appreciate Dan rescinding his predecessor's edict to not print letters of concern to the community. As I told Dan, we wish him well in his new position as Explorer editor.

No shortage of opinions for opinion page
I would like to endorse Michael Falconer’s comment in last week’s EXPLORER (“One opinion of the opinion page”). Mr. Falconer is not alone in his rationale that the letters to the editor page should be just that — letters to the editor. Inasmuch as Dan Stebbins, as the new editor of the EXPLORER is not bound by previous restrictions, I would hope you will continue publishing letters that are newsworthy and relevant to the communities you serve.
As for Oro Valley news, may I suggest Mr. Falconer and all our citizens consider checking our local blog, www.letorovalleyexcel.com.
The blog allows our readers to comment on Oro Valley issues of interest and concern, including the tax giveaways and the forthcoming Oro Valley Marketplace, which includes a 24/7 Wal-Mart Supercenter.

Oro Valley
