Letter to the editor: Why won’t commissioners livestream meetings?
Transparency is the foundation of democracy, yet our Westmoreland County commissioners continue to ignore a simple request: livestream and record public meetings. In 2025, when technology makes this inexpensive and easy, their silence raises real concerns. Livestreaming is not a radical idea. It allows working families, seniors, and those with...

Letter to the editor: Ignoring history’s lessons on tariffs
“No taxation without representation.” That phrase lit the spark of the American Revolution, born out of resentment toward British tariffs.
