The Berwick Chamber of Commerce and PPL officials claim that reaction to a new nuclear reactor are positive. This is nothing but a preemptive strike against opposition. Nuclear power does not release carbon into the atmosphere, but, the spent nuclear fuel rods pose an equally threatening environmental problem. There has been no [...]
Bravo! Your editorial about rising fuel costs and mass transit is on the mark. We need to make real changes in our planning for the future and a revenue stream for mass transit in Pennsylvania is a must. Our roads are over crowded with cars carrying a single occupant for the most [...]
Editor,
I would like to commend the Times-Tribune for its’ recent “100% wrong use of tax money” editorial. I wholeheartedly agree that public money should not be used by the parties for their polling purposes. Furthermore, I do not believe tax dollars should finance primary elections. The primaries are nothing more than a [...]
I have to agree with the Times-Tribune editorial board when it suggests that 20 scanners is insufficient and what is needed is one scanner per polling place. The outgoing commissioners were quick to discard the lever machines and slow to take action against Advanced Voting Solutions.
I do take issue with the suggestion in the [...]

Editor,
Willie Speare recently wrote that the Democratic Party portrays itself as opposed to war yet most of it’s declared candidates for president voted to allow war. I agree. He points out that Republican candidate Ron Paul voted against authorizing the war in Iraq. Again, no argument here. I respect Ron Paul [...]
The article about the trial of the marine squad leader who led an attack killing 24 innocent Iraqi civilians is most disturbing. The marines response that the that their actions were legitimate is appalling. Do you believe that this is an isolated incident? War is hell and this is just another day [...]
Walter Whitford (2/17) recollects the 1979 capture of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. However, he paints an incomplete picture to blame the left for the events of 1979. Mr. Whitford fails to mention the overthrow of democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh in 1953. Mossadegh had nationalized Iran’s oil resources to end the [...]
George Bush threatens to veto stem cell research because he opposes “the use of federal money, taxpayers’ money, to promote science which destroys life in order to save life”. Meanwhile, he proposes to use that same money to increase military expenditures to destroy life in order to save life.
George Bush uses the [...]
The leadership of the Democratic party has been attacking the Green Party and Carl Romanelli in particular over the last several weeks. First they attack Carl Romanelli for taking donations from Santorum supporters and imply collusion between the Green Party and the Republican Party. Granted, the republicans cynically donated to someone who does [...]
