Editorial: 1 million covid cases, and a path forward
One million. It is the kind of number that we think we can understand because it is thrown about with such abandon. The price of a big house. A mere sliver of a school building project. The top prize on a really good lottery ticket. But it’s a huge number...
Letter to the editor: More guns means more shootings
As people are tiring of covid, the mass gatherings are resuming, and so are the mass shootings. No other country has this problem, and no other country is so saturated with guns. Coincidence? I hear all the gun advocates’ arguments and scoff, like guns don’t kill, people do. It’s as...
Letter to the editor: Democracy for all people, not just the powerful
In the 1800s the Republican Party championed the democratic principles of freedom, liberty, justice and equality for all. The Democratic Party stood for the wealthy and powerful, the plantation owners, the captains of industry. It was a tug of war between democracy and oligarchy. Today we are in that same...

Elizabeth Stelle: Emergency powers amendment would restore transparency in Pa. government
For over a year, Gov. Tom Wolf has dismissed calls for transparency as he enforces restrictive emergency executive orders.

Howard Dean: Biden must restore seniors’ access to essential medicines

Sounding off: George Orwell, Ray Bradbury warned us; thanking Trump; stimulus checks and election results
Have you seen and heard enough yet? I certainly have. I never thought that we would witness big tech silencing free speech or de-listing books whose subject they disagree with. A “woke” administration and Congress that appear more intent on advancing socialism and rewarding their friends than helping to make...
Letter to the editor: Did non-supporters return Trump’s stimulus checks?
From the tone of Cheryl Rossetti’s letter “Disagree with election results? Return stimulus checks.” (March 24, TribLIVE), I’m guessing she did not support President Trump. When she received the first two stimulus checks while Trump was president, did she follow her own advice and return those checks? To paraphrase her,...

Letter to the editor: Republican votes reason for vaccine shortage?
Regarding the article “Westmoreland receives fewer covid-19 vaccine doses than smaller counties; talks begin about regional health department” (Feb. 26, TribLIVE): It seems rather odd that since most voters in Southwest Pennsylvania voted Republican, except for Allegheny County (Little Philly), we are being left short on our allocations of vaccine....

Letter to the editor: Westmoreland needs a health department
