Stolen election?

Letters

President Donald Trump has said he wants to take charge of elections throughout the United States. There is nothing in our Constitution, or any law passed in the 250 year history of our country, that permits him to do this. The last person who supposedly said “L’Etat c’est moi” (“The State is me”) was King Louis XIV of France in 1655. The Constitution specifically gives the power to regulate elections to the states. Anyone can read this in Article I, Section 4. Congress has passed laws giving the president special powers in a national emergency, but nothing in those laws ...

Fun observations

Letters

Has anyone noticed that Republicans are scrambling to shore up support for Republican candidates, even the local Republicans are writing in warning against voting for Democrats. We haven’t even voted yet for candidates and they are already stomping. Heck even one writer praised how good the economy is, seriously he did claim he knows some goods are still high but all in all the economy is great. He was voicing how bad prices were under Biden, yet he is using the same measures that Joe Biden used when he was President to say the economy is strong. I would like to point out that ...

Deer season

Letters

I read with interest an article in the Outdoor section of the Sun-Gazette regarding the introduction of a bill by a couple of local legislators to move the opening day of firearm deer season back to the traditional Monday after Thanksgiving. I whole heartedly support this and was disappointed in the PGC when it recently rejected the idea. The PGC has consistently touted the benefits of the recent move to a Saturday opener on many occasions during speaking engagements and written publications like the Pennsylvania Game News. For the life of me I don’t know where or how they got the ...

U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick has argued on the Senate floor in support of the SAVE America Act, an election reform package that has already been passed in the House of Representatives. He cited election issues in Pennsylvania as evidence of broader concerns, referencing a situation in Chester County in which, he said, 70,000 third-party voters were mistakenly omitted from voter rolls. In statement from ACLU Pennsylvania: “Chester County made an administrative mistake in leaving third-party and unaffiliated voters off the voter rolls, but all those voters were given the opportunity to ...

State’s economy will grow when Harrisburg gets out of the way

Other Commentaries

Gov. Josh Shapiro often brags about “moving at the speed of business.” But his efforts to draw private investment to Pennsylvania rely heavily on corporate welfare, rather than addressing the burdensome regulations that bog down the commonwealth’s economy. On paper and at public events, Shapiro says the right things about regulatory reform. The governor recently boasted about how his administration “repealed or modernized 10 outdated regulations. However, more than 164,000 regulations remain on the books, making Pennsylvania the 14th-most regulated state, according to the ...
