Letter: Nothing but lies from Eric Roe
To The Editor,
In this election season, we’ve been inundated with lies from both parties at the top of the ticket. I had hoped that this local campaign would have been run on the issues, but that has not been the case. Today I am calling out my opponent Eric Roe for blatantly and repeatedly lying about my positions.
I have gone on record in newspapers as well as on my Facebook posts that I DID...
Endorsements: Costello, Hartman & Meehan
Arguably, this is the most acrimonious campaign season in recent history, making it complicated to sort the fact from fiction and figure out who to support in this year’s local Congressional races.
We feel your pain. Our email boxes are constantly filled with breathless pronouncements with whatever counts for talking points in each of these races from both the campaigns, parties and third party...
Democrats play their Trump card and hard
Ads start to go negative, too, shockingly
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Last week, in this space I noted that Democratic candidates would be looking to staple their Republican opponents to GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump.
Based on a flurry of TV ads and mailers I’ve seen this week, I had it mostly right, except maybe the implement: Democrats are using a nail gun, and one has to wonder...
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: It’s better out there than you think
To The Editor,
Who isn’t weary and disgusted by the national news? This election year is like nothing we’ve ever seen. It seems as if the news has a new, even more, outrageous story every hour. People are overwhelmed by the anger, political spin, and the hourly updates.
I have good news. It is better out there than the news would lead you to believe.
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.
Endorsements: Pat Toomey for U.S. Senate
If you’ve been watching your TV of late, you’ve seen two portrayals of U.S. Senate Candidates Pat Toomey (R) and Katie McGinty (D) — and can’t be blamed if you think them both corrupt and owned by special interests.
The campaign ads are cartoonish attempts to massively exaggerate the flaws of both candidates, in both cases bordering on downright dishonest. The truth is, as is usually the...
Endorsements: Clinton is the clear choice
In most years, the decision to make endorsements is a fairly simple evaluation of both the policy and character of the individuals involved. We take for granted that the candidates up for election are driven by a sincere desire to make things better, even if they have differing opinions on how to get there.
And while we feel this remains largely true for all of the down-ballot candidates this election...
The Trumpocalypse hits home
Meanwhile, local candidates gather and talk issues thoughtfully
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Well, that was a week to be proud of in politics, right?
As Donald Trump continues to loom over the election of down ballot candidates much as he did over Hillary Clinton during last Sunday night’s town hall forum — frankly, all it needed was slasher movie music to make it perfect — it seems...
Letter: Voters have a clear choice in the 158th
To the Editor,
The voters in the PA House 158th district will be choosing a new state representative on November 8th, since Chris Ross is retiring. We have been waiting for many months to see and read Republican candidate Eric Roe’s positions. Finally, his campaign published three position papers, on “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” On Oct 2nd his Party or his handlers...
