Reserve opinion page for local letters

I have been noticing the inclusion of one national columnist repeatedly being featured in your letters to the editor section. My assumption has always been that readers of your paper should be the ones whose opinions are published in this section. However, op-ed pieces from Charles Krauthammer keep appearing in your letters section. Krauthammer is a professional opinion writer and TV personality who makes his living by writing from a right wing viewpoint. By publishing only one East Coast opinion writer who offers only one side of an issue, you are depriving your readers of information to form their own opinions. Instead, it appears that the paper is not seeking to inform, but to propagandize readers with the personal political opinions held within your editorial staff. I suggest you keep your letters to the editor section for the exclusive publication of actual letters to the editor.
