Phony Tax Plan Won’t Stimulate the Economy
Despite the insistence of Senator Pat Toomey, the tax overhaul before Congress will NOT stimulate the economy. Here’s why:
Letter: On Borough Council, an apology is in order
To The Editor,
The following is an open letter to my colleagues on the Kennett Square Borough Council:
Dear Doug, Jamie and Geoff,
On January 4th, 2016, all four of us voted to appoint LaToya Myers to an open seat on Borough Council. Since then, she has served with distinction, especially on the Finance and Chief of Police Search Committees, where we have seen her fight hard for...
Letter: Council members offer support for Maffei, Waterkotte, Deveney and Caldwell
To The Editor,
Election Day is fast approaching on Tuesday November 7th, and we would encourage you all to exercise your constitutional right to vote! This is an important election within the Borough of Kennett Square as four of the seven seats on Borough Council will be decided. Quite frankly we think it is safe to say that the future direction of the Borough is at stake with this election. We...
Letter: Donze’s experience makes the difference in DJ race
To the Editor,
I completely agree with Mike McGann’s recent article, Mr. Iacocca is a very nice guy and community activist but we’re looking to elect our next district justice and need to do so carefully.
As a licensed attorney and registered Democrat, I’m most concerned with putting the most qualified candidate on the bench. Community activism should be applauded on all levels but in...
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,...
Letter: Our community supports correctional officers
To The Editor,
I would like the Chester County Correctional Officers to know that our community thanks them and stands with them, and I would like to thank Chris O’Donnell from Teamsters Local 384 for bringing to everyone’s attention the ways in which Chester County’s correctional officers and taxpayers are being unfairly treated.
As an attorney who frequently visits Chester County Prison,...
Letter: A property tax reform suggestion
To the Editor:
Every election cycle legislators trot out statements that they are going to do something about property taxes, and as sure as spring follows winter, nothing gets done and that issue gets put away until the next election season. It’s time to stop paying lip service to we, the taxpayers, and do something. I’ve been paying property taxes for 28 years, so I understand the struggles...
