Leave the Rumors to the Rags
      Dear Editor, For a few scary moments yesterday, I thought I was reading a supermarket tabloid - although I could have sworn it was The Wave when I started reading.

Ignored Retirees
      Dear Editor, I find it troubling that our elected officials who represent our district in Congress have simply ignored 20 million retirees on social security.
