Letter to the editor: Pirates, Steelers owners go for money, not championships
We know a rip-off when we see it, and we see it year after year. I’m talking about Pirates owner Bob Nutting and Steelers owner Art Rooney. Twin brothers of another mother.

Bigfoot is still huge in Western Pennsylvania
The cryptozoological phenomenon Bigfoot is normally associated with the Pacific Northwest, but Pennsylvania is an unlikely hotbed of sightings — so it makes sense that director of the Pennslyvania Bigfoot Society Eric Altman of West Hempfield Township can bring so many would-be fellow researchers to the area for the Pennsylvania...

After the tax increase scam the former Greater Latrobe School Board members tried to pull last year and the one the current Westmoreland County commissioners did pull as a Christmas present to all of us, it’s obvious that the taxation powers of all local Pennsylvania politicians need to be severely...
Editorial: U.S. Secret Service has no margin for error in protection
The U.S. Secret Service has a remarkable record when it comes to protection. It was born in 1865 — not because of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln but because of wildfire counterfeiting in the wake of the Civil War. The Secret Service is a child of the Treasury Department, transferred...

In our politics and related economics, there are many questions whose answers largely reflect a point of view vs. a specific data-based conclusion.
