Hamilton County News welcomes contributions to its Viewpoints pages. Letters should be no longer than about 350 words, legible, address matters of current interest and be signed by the writer. Anonymous letters are not printed.
  Letters must include a telephone number where the author may be reached during the day for verification. Letters which cannot be verified will not be published. Letters are subject to editing for brevity, clarity and legally actionable content and are limited to one per month per author.
  The Viewpoints page is intended as a forum for ideas and opinions. Letters of thanks from representatives of local volunteer or non-profit groups which serve the community run at no charge. Under other circumstances, paid letters of thanks are accepted. Letters which have not appeared in other publications receive preference. Poetry is not considered a letter to the editor.
