Regency of Maine overcharging on lot rents
Jan 06, 2011 12:01 amTo the Editor:
To Regency Corporation, 40 N. 4th St., Carbondale, CO 81623
Let it be known that I/we as low or fixed income tenants believe our landlord, Regency of Maine, Inc., is over charging for lot rents in our present low-income economy.
Regency’s lot rents are way out of line to all of the area’s local trailer parks. Instead of wanting to charge more for lot rent, Regency should be making reductions in lot rent and dropping pet fees. (What are pet fees, anyway?)

I was thinking about this when I came across an article by Lisa Hix entitled "2010 Year in Review Natural Disasters." She can be accessed on Twitter. I would like to focus on one - floods.
The greatest flood (2010) was in Pakistan where one fifth of the land area was destroyed. News reported numerous floods in other nations and even in regions of our USA.
A lack of Christmas spirit? Or a lack of understanding?

On this past Saturday, December 28, my friend and I took our children on the 5:15 p.m. ride of the Polar Express in Portland. We came out of the parking garage in wonderful spirits. My friend's daughter in her arms, her son holding her hand, and my daughter skipping as her hand was in mine, headed to the train stop.
One man's opinion

Friends and Neighbors,
I served two difficult tours in South Vietnam in '68 and '69, and I have long held strong opinions regarding our nation's conduct on a global scale in terms of military intervention. As indicated by this letter, I honestly feel that we are on a dead-end street in this deeply rooted conflict taking place in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the like. Thanks for taking the time to read my commentary. Hopefully some of my thoughts can provide further insight toward bringing this dilemma to a sound resolution.
