Wow! 400,000-dollar Lycoming College for a city baseball field, 200,000 to Penn College, 200,000 to the Williamsport police shed — are state Senator Yaw, state representative Hamm using that funding properly? I believe it’s to be distribute to reduction of property taxes for the elderly! FRANCIS KELLEY Williamsport Submitted by Virtual Newsroom
Last night, as the Republicans met for their midterm pep rally, the man in the White House was greeted with cheers and applause when he (illegally) offered every adult citizen $5,000 IF the rubber-stamping Republicans hang onto control of the House and Senate so he can continue dismantling of the Constitution, ignoring court rulings, and usurping the Legislature’s power of the purse (with their willing complicity). Isn’t bribery and buying votes illegal?! He claims he can do this because the economy is “GREAT!” So great that, by the time this letter gets printed, gas may well ...
I am encouraged by all the “No Data Centers” yard signs in my neighborhood. I fully support those citizens and believe we do need Data Centers. Who wants the data centers? It is the Government and that government is the largest landowner in America. Why not use land the government now owns? I oppose taking lovely farmland for large data centers when the government has many closed military bases, bombing ranges and grasslands in the American west that could easily accommodate several or a dozen Data Centers. For example, if the government put one, three or a dozen Data Centers in ...
It’s been over six months now, but I can’t stop thinking about those 130 little girls, ages 6 to 12, who were killed the first day of Trumps war, blown to pieces by a Tomahawk missile paid for by you and I. According to economists, the war with Iran has cost almost 100 billion dollars so far in direct costs, and the indirect costs to all of us of almost another 100 billion dollars, in the form of inflation and higher fuel costs. And there are more costs to come, in the unfinished war and injuries to our fighting men and women. We have already seen the ultimate cost borne by those ...
How many reports of dangerous dogs or dogs in general running loose will it take before the City of Williamsport and those responsible for public safety take this problem seriously? Several times a day residents continue to hear reports of dangerous or uncontrolled dogs roaming city streets. More and more irresponsible owners appear to be allowing their dogs to run at large, leaving residents afraid to walk, to walk their dogs, let their children play outside, or simply enjoy their own neighborhoods. This is not a minor nuisance. It is a public safety problem that demands immediate ...
If I offered someone $5,000 if he voted for a Republican candidate for Congress, I would be sent to jail. However, President Donald Trump has offered a $5,000 bribe to every adult in the United States in an attempt to get them to vote for Republican candidates for Congress, and he is getting off scot-free. I think a ruling in 2024 by the Supreme Court, which gives presidents widespread immunity from being charged with a crime, has something to do with why the president thinks he can bribe America’s voters. By the way, six conservative justices, all of whom were nominated by ...
