I want to thank the Watertown School Board for its decision not to allow "A Mother of a Revolution!" to be performed at the high school's spring concert.

I disagree with last Sunday's letters to the editor in the Wisconsin State Journal about taxation in America.
Kudos to Dane County government for pursuing the purchase of 165 very sensitive acres in the town of Dunn just south of the Yahara River. The village of McFarland intended to annex that land, even though the residents in both the village and the town of Dunn opposed that plan.

The three most powerful people at the state Capitol last week had the right idea in trying to ease the burden of property taxes on homeowners while investing more in schools.
