Shouldn’t that have been considered foremost on his agenda in order to protect doctors, nurses, aides and those already afflicted by the coronavirus? Asking companies to donate their supplies of...

Shame on letter-writer Anthony Cortazzo Jr. (“Reasons for Trump support,” March 12, TribLIVE). He states as “possible reasons” certain voters support Trump is that they are “deaf, intellectually disabled and blind.” This is hate speech. How does name-calling solve anything? I think this is discrimination. The Americans with Disabilities Act,...

I have not heard what our local governments and school districts are doing to offer property tax relief to all of us who have been affected by the coronavirus shutdown. It would be unconscionable to have our local government make profits with interest and penalties on property taxes when our...

With the world gripped in fear of covid-19, can the liberal super PACs take a break from their TV ad blitz attacking President Trump as he tries to guide us through the crisis? In one ad, a “truck driver” claims “In 2016, I voted for Donald Trump” but now tells...
