A FAIR SHAKE

to prevent gun violence for decades. So this firing of Scott Israel is worthless, placing the blame on him for Republicans’ own deadly mistakes.

In the Jan. 12 article “After nearly 70 years, Groveland Four receive pardons,” Gov. Ron DeSantis explained his reasoning: “I believe in the principles of the Constitution. I believe in a fair shake.” These are laudable sentiments, most refreshing in the new governor.

Amendment 4 of the Florida Constitution, approved by nearly 65 percent of Floridians, provides long overdue voting rights to more than a million of our state’s residents.

Gov. DeSantis, please act as quickly and decisively to expedite that same fair shake for the 1.4 million who are living, as you did symbolically for the four who are not.

Although, for various reasons, I’m not in favor of a wall at the U.S.-Mexican border, I am willing to support building one in order to end the partial government shutdown. However, the government should not pay for this wall.

If Trump has even a portion of the wealth he has claimed to own, he should donate the money in cash and in advance to the government in order to fund the construction.
