Letter: Where was Kampf on potholes? No where.
To The Editor,
I’m going to take a risky political stand here that may alienate and offend a great many readers: I am against potholes.
Until last month, I was not aware that being opposed to potholes was even a controversial political opinion. I assumed that everyone was as anti-pothole as I. Then I watched in disbelief as our current State Representative Warren Kampf voted against the bipartisan...
Letter: Ross should not be on 158th ballot
To The Editor:
I am writing out of concern for developments in the campaign for the 158th Legislative District of the State Legislature and in support of Susan Rzucidlo. While I find the circumstances regarding the Cuyler Walker matter sad and disturbing, the underlying facts leading to his withdrawal from the election are not here up for discussion.
However, it is exceedingly disturbing that the Republicans...
Letter: Democrats can’t and won’t support Lewis
To The Editor,
I am writing this letter because I believe Josh Maxwell will serve our community best as our next State Representative in the 74th State House District, and his opponent, candidate Harry Lewis, is a good man and a good person who is on the wrong side of history. I say this because I have known Harry all of his life. We grew up together in Carver Court, and along with many others, we...
Letter: Let independents vote in primaries
To The Editor,
The legislature should amend Pennsylvania law to permit all registered voters the ability to vote in our Primary elections. This way individuals who are registered as a member of any party would have an early say in who will represent them and their needs in government. Changing current law may be the way to free ourselves from the iron fisted partisan politics that have caused...
Move of 157th precinct violates due process
To The Editor,
Last week, the Republican appointees of the Chester County Elections Board unilaterally decided to relocate Precinct 477 (Phoenixville West 1) from the 157th to the 155th PA HOUSE District. This act is a violation of the due process rights and the right to vote for elected officials by the citizens of the 157th.
This action, four weeks before the general election, is unprecedented and...
Newlin supervisor responds to horse ordinance coverage
Editors Note: We typically do not run letters responding to the stories written in other publications, in this case, The Daily Local News. However, as we were unable to cover last week’s Newlin Board of Supervisors meeting — we have limited resources (and yes, we’re seeking to hire additional staff) and felt that covering the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District Board of Education meeting...
Letter: Thanks for support of Freedom Fest
To the Editor:
This year’s Freedom Fest was one of the most exciting and successful ever, thanks to the many individuals and agencies that contributed to both planning and running the event at Nottingham County Park. Through the hard work and generosity of many, thousands of people enjoyed an evening of family fun in celebration of our Nation’s birth.
In addition to the efforts of several dozen...
Letter: Army vet suffers from vague gun laws
To The Editor,
I am currently being prosecuted by the state of Pennsylvania for applying for gun ownership. I am 31 years old, an army veteran, and recently applied to PICS (PA instant check system) to own a shotgun. On this background check it asks if I have ever been adjudicated mentally defective or been 302’d (involuntary commitment). I checked “no” to this question. I...
Letter: objects to Caln’s new waste dropoff rules
To The Editor,
As you know around three weeks or so ago a fairly large thunderstorm caused downed trees and branches across the area.
In my case there were several large branches down in my yard. After scheduling time to cut up and haul away the storm damage I hear from the township’s Facebook page that “due to illegal dumping” storm damage will only be accepted Monday – Thursday...
