He is a moderate that understands the political dynamics both at home and in Washington. He has sought the privilege to serve his neighbors as a U.S. Senator despite knowing the potential dangers first hand.

Letter to the Editor: Plans to screw up downtown coming to fruition
As predicted in my opinion letter, October 2017, the "grandiose plans to generate $$$ and screw up downtown Flagstaff" are finally coming to fruition. At least the "screw up" part. If, after nearly three years of apps, kiosks, massive confusion and general boycott of downtown by local residents, ParkFlag has only generated $509,000 toward building the proposed parking structures, then few of us reading this today will be alive to ever see this happen! And now proposals to further "reduce revenue?"

Letter to the Editor: Local government governs best
History demonstrates that local governments are more responsive to the needs of those it governs than are distant governments; yet, this concept has not gotten through to our state legislators. Last week, the State Legislature passed a bill mandating that local governments provide natural gas companies access to communities, even if residents don’t want it. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that, if not combusted, absorbs 25X’s as much heat as the same amount of CO2 making it a powerful driver of climate disruption.

Aubameyang goals give Arsenal 3-2 win over Everton
The win moves Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side up to ninth place in the league and back in the battle for European places, while Everton remain without a win at the Gunners in 24 years. Six minutes later and Arsenal were ahead -- Luiz making amends for his earlier mistake with a lovely, defence-splitting pass to Aubameyang who calmly slotted past Jordan Pickford. Brazilian Richarlison brought Everton back on level terms though just before the interval, poking home from close range. But Arsenal struck straight after the break with Aubameyang heading in a Nicolas Pepe cross, 23 seconds after the restart. Everton almost grabbed a point at the end but Calvert-Lewin's header from a Bernard cross was just wide of the post.

Coronavirus effect: Prices of Chinese products go up in Khulna
On the other hand, no new letters of credit (LCs) are being issued on raw materials imported from China, owing to which prices of goods reliant on Chinese materials have gone up. The prices of goods dependent on these materials have gone up by at least 10%, according to traders in Khulna. As the import of those raw materials have stalled, they fear incurring huge losses. "LCs against raw materials meant to be imported two months ago have still not been cleared. Some imports of electronics and hardware raw materials from China entered through some containers, but those were rather limited.

Time to shake things up
We have a nascent dyestuff production industry in the country, but chemical production for the textile trade is nigh on non-existent. The growth of the Bangladesh RMG industry can largely be attributed to the reliance on low-cost labour, producing mass volume basic items. Whilst this approach yielded significantly impressive results, the landscape of the global apparel industry has changed. This is something we should not allow to happen within the Bangladesh RMG sector. He is also the Founder and CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo and Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE).
