After reading the Sunday edition of The Citizen, I am inspired to write. Paul Simkin wrote a letter that I agree with and I am sure many others will too.

If the Cayugas want to live here and do business here, they must obey the same laws and pay for the same services we all do. It's how it is in the USA. We all balk at our high taxes, especially high in New York state. No, they cannot have it both ways. Pay the same as the rest of us citizens or move on.

Many of the other letters were good too. I read them with interest.

About the gun issue, George J. Smith wrote about, I would add that a gun safety course be taught to all at an early age.

When I went to school, we even had a gun club or rifle club and the participants brought their guns to school on club day on the bus. Today that wouldn't happen.

Education is the answer and respect for any gun. My father taught us that as did my husband to our children. There never was a problem and that was only 25 to 30 years ago.

I enjoyed “Our View” also, and very much agree.
