Letter: In support of Eric Roe
To the Editor:
As the November 6th election approaches, I want to put in a good word for State Representative Eric Roe. In an otherwise polarized and partisan election cycle, Eric Roe has proven that he’s willing to put people above politics. That’s why he’ll have my vote.
His leadership against unfair gerrymandering is probably the best example of his integrity. In a world where politicians...

Letter: Better laws could have preventing shootings
To The Editor,
The gun control debate has been torturing the US for months now. The shootings at the Waffle House and Parkland could have been prevented by better laws and restrictions on guns. The Bump Stock should just be plain outlawed and ARs should have heavy restrictions.
Letter: Turzai rebuts column on redistricting fight
To The Editor,
Your recent editorial regarding the League of Women Voters v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania redistricting lawsuit leaves out some important facts, which your readers should know.

Letter: Thoughts and prayers are not enough
To The Editor,
By now you have heard the sad but all too familiar news of another mass school shooting. This is the 18th school shooting of the year and it’s only February. It seems that our politicians only response to these horrific acts of violence is to offer thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families. While thoughts and prayers are well intended, it is action that is needed...

Letter: Trump message – it’s OK to be a bully
To the Editor,
As this election season mercifully winds up, it was interesting to hear Melania Trump speak Nov. 3 in Berwyn. Part of her message was about empowering children and women, and working to prevent put downs and bullying-an admirable goal. The irony is that her husband is a textbook case of acting like a bully. His overreaction to any criticism brings out the worst in him,...
Letter: Republicans, you own this
To The Editor,
Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton faced off their final debate, and once again Mr. Trump found new ways to embarrass the Republican Party – and those in the Chester County Republican Committee and their candidates who have continued to endorse him.
Letter: New funding needed for Growing Greener
To the Editor:
Pennsylvania’s Growing Greener program has a proud history of success in protecting our water, conserving our natural lands, preserving our family farms and providing outdoor recreation.
However, much work still needs to be done in order to ensure future generations have access to clean water, locally-grown food and public parks, trails and recreational opportunities.
Letter: Aug. 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day
To The Editor:
Drug overdose is a leading cause of accidental deaths in Pennsylvania. The rate of overdose deaths in the state has increased by 14% in recent years and is significantly higher than the national average. Government alone cannot fix what is wrong in society, but it does have an important role to play. The government can coordinate and connect systems so that there is less redundancy,...
