Letter to the editor: Ending single-use plastics key to stopping pollution
The letter “Plastic bag bans only serve to make people feel better” (Jan. 29, TribLive) questioned the effectiveness of plastic bag bans. Fortunately, a new report found well-crafted bans, including the one in effect in Pittsburgh, have helped eliminate billions of plastic bags across the country. Pennsylvania is overflowing with...
Editorial: Should U.S. Steel deal be open to political threats?
Some things are too complicated for a campaign promise. That never stops anyone from making them, though. On Wednesday, former president and Republican front-runner Donald Trump said that, if elected, he would block the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel Corp., a leading steel producer based in Japan. The...

Letter to the editor: Nikki Haley is the only answer
The 2024 election may be the most important election in American history. Our enemies (Russia, China, Iran, etc.) are laughing at the disarray in this country, and the unbelievable election comedy brewing between a chaotic, uncontrollable, baggage-laden Donald Trump, and a feeble, party-hack, questionably sentient Joe Biden. A vote for...

Letter to the editor: Looking at Trump’s ‘foibles’
I didn’t see hate in the letter “Trump’s your guy” (Jan. 15, TribLive). I saw a letter listing very succinctly all the many reasons why President Trump should not be our guy. The letter “Trump’s my guy” (Jan. 25, TribLive) says we should look past the “foibles” of Trump. I...
Sounding off: Tomlin, Civil War, Casey among week’s topics
Keeping Tomlin shows disregard for players, fans I have been a Steelers fan for well over half a century and remember the days when Buddy Parker was allowed to walk away, Mike Nixon was terminated after only one season and Bill Austin was let go after three. What has followed...
Letter to the editor: Steelers’ version of Groundhog Day
Every year, it’s “rinse and repeat.” I’m talking about Steelers owner Art “The Enabler” Rooney who, like Punxsutawney Phil, comes out of office, sees his shadow and declares at his annual postseason season press conference that his team is improving. He clearly thinks Steelers Nation are a bunch of morons...

Editorial: What is going on in the Westmoreland County Register of Wills office?
It is a little embarrassing to be called on the carpet at work. It’s a lot worse when the person doing the scolding is a judge — or two. In a hearing Wednesday, Westmoreland County Common Pleas judges admonished Register of Wills Sherry Magretti Hamilton. The language was longer and...
Letter to the editor: Biden has not been a unifier
After reading the letter “Trump’s call for unity rings hollow” (Jan. 22, TribLive), I again felt compelled to respond. As usual, the letter-writer either fails to, or refuses to, look at both sides. I agree that President Trump can be less than ideal when addressing his political opponents. And there...
