Wants a Peter Guinta column on opinion page
Editor: I enjoy The Record. I think it does an excellent job of covering local news, which is what a small city paper should do. However, your editorial/opinion page is rather dull. I realize you are trying to give both liberal and conservative viewpoints, but some of the columnists you have chosen leave much to be desired. Take Monday for an example. Ann Coulter seems more interested in being ridiculous and misleading. Amy Goodman is laborious and in desperate need of a good editor.

Here's a suggestion. Why not drop both of them on Monday and have some of your more talented reporters do the opinion page? It would be more interesting to read. Peter Guinta used to do some columns and I really enjoyed reading his take on local issues.
I realize newspapers are having a hard time financially and opinions always run the risk of alienating advertisers, but please be brave and give it a try.
