Letters to the Editor

In the wake of the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the sign that was a mere annoyance on U.S. Route 30 has become a disturbing reminder of the pervasiveness of anti-Semitism. The sign is paid for by a group called “If Americans Knew.” The sign reads “$10 million a day to […]

Newspapers connect humanity North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica. Humanity lives, works, and plays on the 7 continents. And reads the newspaper. Because every life is a story and tells a story. All free countries on the planet with a printing press (and the Internet) are able to connect to share words, […]

As we go to the polls this November, Ohioans would be wise to consider the strong state of our economy and the successful policies enacted by Republicans that have made it that way.  Even with last week’s slight dip in the market, the economy is booming as we head into President Trump’s third year in […]

This letter is written in support of Phil Naumoff, candidate for judge. I have been a member of the criminal defense bar for over 45 years.

I submitted my Selective Service registration, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, and voted in my first election. In the 15 years since, I […]

Marijuana use is already a misdemeanor. Issue 1 is about extremely dangerous and addictive drugs including meth, heroin, […]

To the editor: It’s undeniable that our economy is booming. In July alone, Ohio added 7,600 jobs. Ohio has more than 945,000 small businesses and with the new tax relief measures, many of these businesses have offered bonuses and used the financial relief to reinvest in their community. However, these good times are not guaranteed […]

To the editor: The economy is booming as a result of last year’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Unemployment is down. Consumer confidence is up.
