The Herald aims to print only factual accounts. Letters are readers’ opinions.

A guest opinion writer lost me when he claimed, in last week’s Herald, that inflation was 9% when President Biden was inaugurated (“Biden controls neither inflation nor oil prices” July 4).

That is false. Inflation was 1.7% in January 2021.
