Letter: A vote for Roe
To The Editor,
Eric Roe will make an outstanding State Representative for us in the 158th Legislative District. He’s one of the hardest working men I know, and he’ll work tirelessly for the residents of the 158th in Harrisburg.

Bill was right: it’s a crazy system (part I of II)
By Nathaniel Smith, Columnist, The Times
Bill Clinton was right about health insurance when he controversially said on October 3:
“…The people that are getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies. Why? Because they’re not organized, they don’t have any bargaining power with insurance companies, and they’re...

Letter: Four reasons to vote for McGinty
To The Editor:
For U.S. Senate, I believe Katie McGinty is clearly the better choice this November. She understands the concerns of the people of Pennsylvania and will do a better job representing our interests. Her opponent Pat Toomey is running many TV and print ads that obscure some of his very troubling positions. It’s time to expose them.

Letter: Kampf must go, elect Von Mol
To The Editor,
When an incumbent state representative has served three terms and seeks a fourth, voters have enough information to decide how well the candidate has been serving their interests.
How, then, is Warren Kampf performing in the PA General Assembly? Where does he stand—and vote—on issues that matter to us citizens in the 157th District? What and whom does he support? It’s...
Letter: Lewis asks for Keystone Opportunity Zone support
To The Editor,
Earlier this summer, the Pennsylvania Legislature and I voted to re-open the Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) program. This is a 10-year tax abatement program applied to specific properties that will add significant tax incentives into our revitalization toolbox for the City of Coatesville. With this powerful tool, we can finally attract major, sustainable interest from investors...
