‘Desperation’ in project Dear Editor, I too would like to stop the planned Hudson development of elderly housing, mainly because the property is perhaps the last piece of prime real estate in downtown Warren. We already have elderly housing downtown next to Soldiers & Sailors Park / Music in the Park: Allegheny Point Apartments. It was sold under the pretense of downtown economic development and fueled by state grant money. (Hudson is also fueled by grants) I know several folks residing in Allegheny Point Park. Being elderly on a fixed income is tough. Buying food and ...

Banks present dangers Dear Editor, Because of a recent accident in our family, we were pleasantly surprised to see the article on restoration of the Brokenstraw Creek’s banks (June 17). On May 26 two of our family members were walking the beautifully peaceful trail along the Brokenstraw near Youngsville when one walked to the bank, unaware it had been undercut about 18 inches by high water. When the bank gave way, she fell 8 to 10 feet, breaking five vertebrae and five ribs. The father of one of her ICU nurses had a similar accident on a creek in Corry and a man she recently ...

Trumping accusations Dear Editor, Various writers label Donald Trump a proven insurrectionist. Yet he has never been charged, much less convicted. His opponents throw all they can at him. They likely know it wouldn’t “stick.” Of course, Trump handled his exit from office imperfectly. He should have used the “bully pulpit” on national TV insisting on a peaceful transition. He should’ve treated Vice President Mike Pence better. But he didn’t lead the buffoonish Jan. 6 rioters. Retired Army Lt. General Keith Kellogg witnessed Trump’s offer to send National Guard ...

Rising school rates Dear Editor, I see the school board is up to no good — again. Where do you people get off thinking that the average retired homeowner can cough up additional mills to pay for the school district’s financial woes? Especially during hard Bidenomic times like these. There has to be a better or at least more sensible way to balance the books than to charge the folks of this county and the board members better start looking for it. Enough is enough! Dale Lindsey Jr., Warren Lesson in history Dear Editor, Fifty-six miles west from Warren, in New ...

Minding business Dear Editor, I am responding to the recent letter about the sign. I know both men involved. They are both gentlemen and determined in their views. I am opposed to the gentleman on the left’s depiction of the spin off of the sign. He believes the economic development agencies in this county — more on them later — should be upset by the words on the sign. Well, for his information, Donald Trump won election in this county in 2016. Half of the employed people in this country work for a small business of 50 or fewer employees. A vast majority of small business ...

‘Pray for the peace’ Dear Editor, It’s amazing that as of 2023, the world’s core Jewish population (those identifying as Jews above all else) was estimated at 15.7 million, which is approximately 0.2% of the 8 billion worldwide population. The Jewish population in Israel itself is 7,181,000. In those Nations immediately surrounding Israel there are 371,000,000 Muslims of multiple ethnic backgrounds. It’s astounding that these nations and the rest of the world are somehow threatened by Israel. It’s actually mind boggling unless you have at least a rudimentary ...
