I am voting for Kamala Harris because I agree with her approach on the economy. The highest earners and corporations should NOT have a lower tax rate than a firefighter, teacher, or nurse. The concept of giving corporations higher tax breaks with the thought they will pass on those savings to their own working class […]

Letter to the Editor: Voting for Trump is nearsighted
“It’s the economy stupid,” was a phrase coined by James Carville in the ’92 presidential election. Many who are voting for Trump are doing so because of the economy. Those voting for Trump because they believe he is best for their own financial situations are not seeing the bigger picture. Unfortunately, they are fixated on […]

Letter to the Editor: Wilson will address out-of-control housing issue
Housing costs are out of control and it’s pushing young professionals like me to the brink. For many young professionals, the dream of owning a home is no longer the challenge. Renting has become equally out of reach for so many of us, including here in Richland County. Thankfully, Tamie Wilson who is running for […]

Letter to the Editor: Take a moment to appreciate our workers on Labor Day
Labor Day, a federal holiday dating back to Sept. 5, 1882, was officially signed into law on July 28, 1884, by President Grover Cleveland. This was a significant achievement for American workers, who were given the first Monday in September off from work. Labor Day is not just a day off. It is a reminder […]

Letter to the Editor: The election and the “Big Lie”
Our little lambs (our children) are asking, “Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see? Do you hear the “Big Lie” about the presidential election of 2020? This lie is still being repeated even though over 50 state and federal judges have rejected claims of voter fraud by the ex-president and […]

Letter to the Editor: Sherrod Brown must be defeated in November
The July 31 Ashland/Richland Source article from U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s office should have been titled “Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching,” not “Infrastructure investment has an impact in Ohio.” The piece also shows why Democrat Brown should be defeated this November in his bid to be reelected as a U.S. Senator from Ohio. Brown’s right when writing […]

Letter to the Editor: Why is Mifflin Twp. wasting the I-71/U.S. 30 interchange?
It has come to my attention that there have been very significant offers to purchase property at the I-71/U.S. 30 intersection. What a huge, irresponsible mistake to let an opportunity like that slip away in an area that very much needs revenue to improve the infrastructure. Before Ontario, Ohio 13 and 97 had any business, the […]

Letter to the Editor: We shoud embrace the unique qualities of our children
As a mom to four children, I leave learned over the years that no matter how “fair” we are with our children, how similarly we raise them and set expectations for them, or how much we push them, they are all beautifully, uniquely, and curiously different. Their preferences, the mannerisms, the dreams, their strengths, and […]

Letter to the Editor: Supporting LGBTQ
Three youth-related Richland Source articles caught my eye, “Mansfield Pride Parade, Festival moves to June,” and “Can Bible-based instruction improve student behaviors?” and “Love on a Mission’s Queer Prom on standby.” The short answer is LGBTQ+ youth deserve our support whether at pride, prom, or school, and the key to this is keeping everything diverse, […]

Letter to the Editor: Mansfield needs a public pool
I find it very sad that pools are not available for our children. We complain about our children behavior but yet they have no outlet to become the positive citizens for growing up in Mansfield. Is the Woodland Pool open? If so why couldn’t other pools been better restored in time for summer. Our children […]
