Citizen-only Census
Working for the Census 20 years in the past, I used to be appalled to be taught that there is no such thing as a requirement that you just should be a citizen to finish the shape (“Dem census incentive,” Miranda Devine, Aug. 19).
The Census must be modified in order that solely US residents will likely be counted, not non-citizens. This may assure that solely US residents run our authorities.

Blame Murphy
The Put up's Aug. 17 editorial “Dem's Electrical Catastrophe” rightly blames “Democrats' bungled vitality insurance policies” for “exploding utility payments” (Editorial, Aug. 17). But it surely was off-base to cost that “GOP Gov. Chris Christie shares within the blame for the Backyard State's insanity.”
The truth is, below our administration, New Jersey expanded pure fuel pipeline and plant capability and made the state electrical energy self-sufficient by 2016 for the primary time in state historical past.
Gov. Phil Murphy's “local weather” hyper-focus — comparable to a four-year authorized battle to kill the PennEast Pipeline, which our administration supported — has deterred new baseload energy technology, serving to create the disaster New Jersey ratepayers now face.
Additionally: Oyster Creek was the second oldest nuclear energy plant within the US when it closed, and proprietor Exelon had agreed with our administration to not shut it earlier than 2019; our plan to switch that energy included the PennEast pipeline and extra pure fuel technology.
The Murphy administration went in a very wrong way, adopting methods to succeed in clean-energy and emission-reductions targets, with no focus in any respect on client prices or baseload energy for the state.
New Jersey was vitality self-sufficient once we left workplace, with cheap charges and elevated reliability. The Murphy administration broke what we mounted.

Fake ‘appears like'
I liked Anthony Watts' article on the overuse of “appears like” temperatures (“Making Summer season really feel ‘Actual' Worse,” Aug. 18).
Climate was reported with simple information — temperature, humidity, wind velocity. Now it's turn into exaggerated and sensational. Watts is true: It's time to get again to factual reporting.

SATC's flop ending
Kirsten Fleming's column on the notorious conclusion of the “Intercourse and the Metropolis” sequel is just not the primary I've learn to precise dismay and confusion on the sordid finish of this story (“Legacy is within the crapper,” Aug. 16).
How would any rational particular person count on it to finish? The present from its inception was primarily based on the concept that girls can objectify and use males (as they've too usually been used previously) and count on a contented ending.
It seems a lady doesn't “want a person like a fish wants a bicycle,” however moderately women and men have been created to enhance and full one another within the context of monogamous marriage. No surprise Carrie's life leads to the bathroom.

Lethal license folly
As soon as once more, there's a lot hand-wringing on the completely avoidable loss of life of three Americans in Florida attributable to an unlawful alien (“ ‘Killer' driver hauled again to Fla. from Calif.,” Aug. 22).
He was given a full business drivers license by the state of California and Washington state, though he wasn't in a position to learn nearly all of freeway indicators in a check. One thing comparable has occurred earlier than. It can occur once more, and the nation learns nothing.
