Your Mail 6-11-14: Nurse lauded ... Democrats in business

Nurse lauded

Congratulations to Carolyn Price, RNC, BSN at CHRISTUS Cabrini Women and Children's Hospital for being named nurse of the year.

Ms. Price has been a faithful employee at Cabrini in Women and Children Services since she graduated from Northeast School of Nursing in 1973. Hired right after graduation by Sr. Mary O'Hara, Carolyn soon proved herself as one of the most conscientious, caring, knowledgeable and skilled nurses in the state. She led her team with fairness and excellent nursing care skills. Her patients knew her by name, loved and appreciated her as much as her co-workers and staff. It has been my honor to have worked with her and beside her for 37 years. Carolyn will retire this month with over 40 years of service at CHRISTUS Cabrini. As a nurse, friend, mother and Christian leader, her legend will live on for the ages. Thank you, Carolyn, for truly living the mission and values of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. You make us all very proud.

Norma R. McCann, RNC, BS, Deville

Democrats in business

Ever notice news shows never find Democratic businesspeople? When they do interviews about taxes and regulations, they never ask businesspeople who vote democrat their opinions. Why would that be the case? Why would you completely ignore 40 percent of a population unless you didn't want it known that many are democrat businesspeople.

The measure of success in America is how rich and famous you are. Some get rich from being famous and some get famous from being rich, but it's the rich and famous and it doesn't matter how you acquire either. It seems the goal of Republicans and the press is to make Americans believe not one businessperson in America doesn't reject all taxes and regulations as government intrusion. It seems the only controversy in America the press isn't willing to exploit for ratings.

UFO's, Elvis and Bigfoot get more coverage than do businesspeople who vote democratic. Wonder why that is, Mr. Editor. Wait, is it because 40 percent represents the lunatic fringe? They are too ugly for TV? None of them speak well enough to be interviewed?

Forty percent of businesspeople believe good regulations make for good business, but that is never part of any business story. Wonder why?
