Letter: In support of Rongaus for Court of Common Pleas
To The Editor,
On November 7, 2023, Chester County voters will elect five judges to serve on the Court of Common Pleas, the county’s trial court that hears criminal prosecutions and civil cases — that include contract disputes, personal injury claims, divorce, custody, and local government appeals.
Such a critical position demands, not only a keen knowledge of the law, but also judicial temperament...
Letter: IRS pilot program could be conflict of interest
To the Editor:
The Internal Revenue Service recently announced that it will move forward with a pilot program in 2024 that would allow it to file tax returns for individual taxpayers. This means that, in addition to collecting and auditing taxes, the IRS could also soon be in the business of preparing taxes, too.
This presents a conflict of interests. Tax preparation requires a certain degree of discretion....
Letter: Hope is still here in Coatesville
To the Editor,
Hope continues to march on in the Coatesville community, thanks to the generosity of those who have given to The Salvation Army during the 2021 holiday season.
The Salvation Army in Coatesville, with the help of our partners, volunteers and donors, raised more than $31,000 over the holidays. Funds will fuel the various services and programs we provide year-round to our local community...
Letter: Fighting for the soul of our nation
To The Editor,
Our democracy is at risk. A year after that act of domestic terrorism on the U.S. Capitol, our country continues to be a battlefield over the legitimacy of our elections and the right to vote.
Believing the lies spread by the former president, elected Republicans and the right-wing media, thousands lay violent siege to our seat of American government, determined to stop the certification...
Letter: Why this life-long Democrat is supporting Republican Geoffrey Gamble for Kennett Township Supervisor
To The Editor,
I’ve been an active Democrat since JFK ran for President. More recently I worked to elect all three Democratic Kennett Township Supervisors, and then helped to implement their agenda by serving for almost five years as the Township’s Director of Sustainable Development.
So why am I now voting for Republican Geoff Gamble rather than sticking with Democrat Whitney Hoffman? To be frank,...
Letter: Why this former Kennett Democratic primary candidate is now voting for a Republican
TowTo The Editor,
For generations, every member of my family, on both sides, has voted for Democrats. I have been left with no choice but to break with that tradition in this year’s election and vote for the Republican running for Kennett Township Supervisor, Geoffrey Gamble. My entire immediate family, and an increasing number of other loyal Kennett Democrats, are doing the same.
I must put...
Letter: Whomsley is a bully and does not represent WCASD families
To The Editor,
As a voter in WCASD Region 3 and a parent of a severely disabled child, I have watched while Stacey Whomsley has repeatedly used her child’s disability to claim that she represents kids with disabilities. While I disagreed with her on some points, I have always maintained that the Special Needs Family crowd is a big tent with room for many different opinions. But I do think, as a voter,...
Letter: Voter fraud is the other ‘Big Lie’
To the Editor
I share grave concern with many Americans about the right to vote. The protection for our democracy that H.R. 1 provides is critical in a time when more than 200 voter suppression legislative actions are being considered by state legislators and some signed into law.
The “New York Times” and other national news outlets have exposed the connection between these voter suppression...
Letter: Restoring trust in Kennett Twp. government
To The Editor,
In the May 18 Democratic primary, I am challenging the incumbent, Whitney Hoffman. The main issue for Democratic voters is which of us will be better able to win in November. From the beginning, my main contention is that Lisa Moore’s $3.2M embezzlement, which occurred on Hoffman’s watch, will make it impossible for Democrats to win if Hoffman is our candidate, so voting for me is...
