Cheers & Jeers
CHEERS: Texarkana, Texas, has hired two people to pick up trash in the city. I really think Texarkana, Ark., should do the same. We need to keep our city looking nice!—M.R.N., Texarkana, Ark.
JEERS: Trump made a promise on the campaign trail: “We’re going to have insurance for everybody.” Trump lied. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Republican bill could take away coverage from 24 Million. Trump’s lies have consequences. People you know and love may lose coverage if this bill passes. Your neighbor. Your favorite teacher. Your child.—R.S., New Boston, Texas
