Commissioners, stay in your lanes on Mosquito Lake

DEAR EDITOR: An open letter to Trumbull county Commissioners Denny Malloy, Rick Hernandez, Tony Bernard: As an avid sportsman who has been fishing Mosquito Lake since I relocated here in 1995, I feel strongly that I can no longer watch the hypocrisy that I have been viewing through various media outlets through the sidelines and keep quiet. To understand the growth of the Hydrilla, and various other aquatic plants you must first understand the very basics of an aquatic ecosystem from the beginning and continued sustainability. Over the years, we have witnessed Mosquito Lake greatly ...

Trump administration appears to mock religion

DEAR EDITOR: Administration 47 is rather alarming in, well, its administration. It defies biblical teachings, but many serving in this administration wear crosses. I am not a biblical scholar or a religious zealot, but the following actions are disturbing: Jesus would not treat undocumented immigrants as they are currently being treated. See Matthew 25:35 as to how you treat others that are strangers. If one believes that God created Earth, then should not His children be allowed to live anywhere created by God? Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think that the United States ...

Here’ s the reason why the American dream died

DEAR EDITOR: When did Americans stop believing in the dream of a better country? Today we have: • A $7.25 per hour minimum wage, not enough to live indoors (and Missouri just repealed paid sick leave). • Poor quality public schools (the foundation of democracy) with over half our population reading below a sixth-grade level. • A broken health care system, where not everyone can receive care, but anyone can find themselves forced into bankruptcy just for getting sick and women with miscarriages are bleeding out in hospital parking lots or dying from sepsis. • Rights we ...

Moving beyond ‘the way it’s always been’

DEAR EDITOR: Life in Warren has never been without challenges, but in recent years, the weight feels heavier. Families are struggling, addiction grips our neighborhoods, and mental health crises touch nearly every home. Yet one truth remains: we have a choice in how we respond. For Warren to grow—especially as major companies like Kimberly-Clark move in — we must embrace a new spirit: one rooted in kindness, compassion, and the courage to break free from “the way we’ve always done it.” No one knows hardship like those in our justice system. Judges, prosecutors, and ...

Sound off!

It is sad that we have a president so shallow that he needs constant flattery. Anyone fawning over Trump exposes our country’s weakness to the rest of the world. He lies profusely and is indecisive and wishy-washy in the safety of our country. The EU leaders accompanying Zelenskyy played Trump for all he is worth, bolstering his ego. If Trump waits much longer Putin will have taken all of Ukraine, planning his next move into another country. — Liberty There are 500,000 people living in Ohio who live in areas where the crime rate exceeds that of Washington, D.C. Why in the world ...

Don’t let health care tax credits expire

DEAR EDITOR: As a proud Republican, a lifelong Ohioan and an active member of my local Chamber of Commerce, I was proud to see Congress pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It was a major win for small business owners, working families and rural communities. But that win could be short-lived if Congress doesn’t act soon to renew critical health care tax credits set to expire at the end of this year. These premium tax credits (PTCs) help millions of Americans afford health insurance on the individual market. That includes self-employed folks, farmers, gig workers and folks who work ...
