Appreciates editing his letter received

The Nov. 7 Times Free Press included a letter-to-the-editor that I submitted.

The person(s) who reviewed my submission improved the headline I suggested for my letter from “Mask ban disregards conservative principle” to “Mask ban disregards conservative thought.” Your change better captures the core concept my letter was intended to convey. It not only reflects the fact that my letter was carefully read by reviewer(s) but that the reviewer(s) were better able than me to distill its key message.

Thanks again, as always, for: publishing letters reflecting the wide range of political opinions held by your readership, and 2) exercising political neutral editorial oversight resulting in a better experience for the reader (and, as in the case of my letter published today, improving the quality of the submission).
