Letter: Turzai rebuts column on redistricting fight
To The Editor,
Your recent editorial regarding the League of Women Voters v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania redistricting lawsuit leaves out some important facts, which your readers should know.
Please note that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed the 2011 Pennsylvania congressional map by a vote of 136-61, with 100 Republicans voting “yes” and 36 Democrats voting “yes.” Passing...
Letter: Thoughts and prayers are not enough
To The Editor,
By now you have heard the sad but all too familiar news of another mass school shooting. This is the 18th school shooting of the year and it’s only February. It seems that our politicians only response to these horrific acts of violence is to offer thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families. While thoughts and prayers are well intended, it is action that is needed to...

Phony Tax Plan Won’t Stimulate the Economy

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 the...

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 our...
Letter: Keep ‘Indians’ but embrace true Native Americans’ history
To The Editor,
Football season is just starting for the Unionville-Chadds Ford Indians. Parents and coaches shout “Go U” to the players. Its catchy, but it struck me as odd that “Go Indians” is never heard. Asking around it seems parents are shy about the school’s mascot. Reading between the “let’s not go there” responses I’ve gotten to the topic led me to believe many feel...
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, and...
Letter: Proud of Kampf’s local focus
To The Editor,
I am very happy that Warren Kampf is my State Representative because he does a lot for the Borough of Phoenixville. Of course I am impressed and approve of his bipartisan work in Harrisburg on big issues ranging from education to government reform, but I am more grateful for what he does here at home. Not only is he a member of many local groups dedicated to improving our lives here...
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.
