Letter to the Editor: Vote for Acton as Ohio’s next governor
Dr. Amy Acton is the only choice for governor in Ohio this election season. She would make history as Ohio’s first female governor and honor the legacy of forward-thinking Civil Rights advocates like Ohioan Gloria Steinem who recently passed. As a medical professional, I trust her judgement and like that her platform page, https://actonforgovernor.com/issues/ supports ensuring reproductive […]

Letter to the Editor: Ohio’s school funding system is broken
A need for change is here. If it was not already abundantly clear, our current system is broken. When failing school tax levies mean cutting educators for our children, then our system is broken. When the blue collared worker is drowning under medical debt, rent, groceries, and gas, then our system is broken. When politicians […]

Letter to the Editor: Finding a silver lining in election result
Dear Editor, The No Ban on Property Rights campaign did not lose. No, I’m not claiming election fraud. What I’m saying is the goal of the local residents was more than just rejecting the bans. First, it was a feat itself to get the issue on the ballot. A task no other county has succeeded […]

Letter to the Editor: Restore the process, not a promise
To the Editor, I’ve been at the front of this issue from the beginning. I serve as the business manager for IBEW Local 688, and yes, if a project were built, our members could benefit from the work. But here’s the truth: there are no solar projects coming to Richland County right now, and there […]
