Keep sending us your two cents

As I'm writing this column on Friday morning, we have 37 contributions to our Two Cents feature waiting to be published, and that number will surely grow by the end of the day. I'm sure each person who called in, mailed or e-mailed one of these items is eager to see it printed in the newspaper.

Two Cents is a feature The Citizen launched last year to allow people to submit their opinions on news items in two sentences or less. It has become rather popular - we're getting dozens of submissions almost every day.

Unfortunately, we usually have space on page A2 for six to eight Two Cents contributions each day. On days when we don't have enough letters to the editor (which typically happens once or twice per week), we also publish Two Cents in that space on page A4, which can typically handle about 15 submissions.
