From the Editor: Our new look Monday

Our new-look Monday opinion page is looking great with plenty of letters and text views.
Today is the second Monday where we have published our Monday Readers' Forum.
This is a signature page with more letters and more text views from the most important people - you, our readers.
We launched it last week and today we've made it even better.
The letter of the week now carries a prize. Tauranga City Lotto shop has kindly offered a complimentary Lotto ticket to the letter writer of the week.
I'd like to say a big thanks to the owners for partnering with us and being so generous.
Thankfully, we have freedom of speech in this country and I encourage all readers to write in about the issues they care about.
We do have to have some rules around these and they are published on our opinion page.
If you have any questions, just let us know.
So, have your say.
It's easy - simply email us at editor@bayofplentytimes.co.nz or text us on 021 439 968.
If you are writing a letter, please remember your contact details for our records.
We look forward to hearing from you and reading about what you think.
