Volusia should not honor Charlie Kirk

Dear Editor:

Volusia County Council members need to reconsider honoring a man who does not deserve honoring.

I understand why someone wanting to please the convicted criminal in the White House would want to name part of the Loop after a man who said we should be ready to experience a few deaths to support the Second Amendment and also offered racist and hate messages to his supporters. I cannot understand why our County Council members are considering naming part of the Loop after a man who represents many things that shame America. I suggest that council members consult Volusia citizens before doing something that would shame us.

No Kings

Dear Editor:

So, we had a big gathering at the foot of the Granada Bridge. In 45-seconds, drivers traveled two to three blocks west and on three street corners saw gasoline prices at $2.85, a five-year low, and almost immediately realized the protests were clearly out-of-touch with both residents and visitors who traveled to get here.
