Letter: Retiree sees value in investing in AG education, backs Linn
To the Editor,
I am a retiree living in the Avon Grove School District. As such, I need an educated community and strong public schools. I believe that Dorothy Linn, the candidate for the Avon Grove School Board in Region 1, is best prepared to meet that need. I need healthcare professionals and scientists to maintain my quality of health for the next 20 to maybe even 30 years. I need business...

Letter: Outcomes matter
To The Editor,
There are local school board candidates running on a platform to stop the 9-0 unanimous decision for the Avon Grove School District facilities project…..even though the project is 1.5 years underway, the result of 4 years of planning, and taxpayers have already invested millions into this project.
What would the outcome be of this reckless act to STOP a facilities project that is already...
Letter: In support of Eric Roe
To the Editor:
As the November 6th election approaches, I want to put in a good word for State Representative Eric Roe. In an otherwise polarized and partisan election cycle, Eric Roe has proven that he’s willing to put people above politics. That’s why he’ll have my vote.
His leadership against unfair gerrymandering is probably the best example of his integrity. In a world where politicians...
Letter: Walker will work to keep us safe
To The Editor,
This November mid-term is so critical to this county, the State of Pennsylvania and the country that I had to take a few minutes and write to you about the Democratic candidate running for Pennsylvania House District 13.
I have met Sue Walker and worked with her on a few occasions. Unlike her opponent, John Lawrence, Ms. Walker is truly interested in representing the people of the district...
Letter: Are we ‘safe’ with John Lawrence?
To the editor:
My name is Sue Walker, and I am the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania House District 13.
I read your editorial assessment of the upcoming election on November 6th (Chescotimes 7/28/18) with great interest. You encapsulated a number of issues regarding our nation and state, and you predicted how the election will ultimately hurt the Republican party. Your piece was quite generous...

Letter: Better laws could have preventing shootings
To The Editor,
The gun control debate has been torturing the US for months now. The shootings at the Waffle House and Parkland could have been prevented by better laws and restrictions on guns. The Bump Stock should just be plain outlawed and ARs should have heavy restrictions.

Letter: Barrar voted to silence our voices
To The Editor,
This past week our current Representative, Stephen Barrar (R-160), voted to silence our voices. Stephen Barrar voted to pick his constituents rather than let the constituents pick their representative.
This is not a new strategy to remain in power. This strategy started long ago, and is most glaringly evident by the old 7th district map. In 2011, when Pennsylvania redistricted the Congressional...
Letter: Turzai rebuts column on redistricting fight
