City and County officials rode on the two newly restarted WRTA routes in Warren and found sparse usage. When the routes originally began, I also observed no more than 4-5 riders on a bus and frequently saw empty buses riding around. Before more money is spent to expand any routes or even keep the service, officials are correct that the demand needs to be studied. Taxpayers are not willing to fund empty buses riding around our city.

Though the election is over, I must comment on the disgusting flyer sent by "Friends of Niki Frenchko." The near-pornographic, photoshopped depiction of her opponent supposedly "being pleasured" is revolting, to say the least. In fact, it should not have been allowed to go through the mail. Ms. Frenchko should be censored for that last-minute mailing. Fortunately, she lost in the primary, so -- hopefully -- we will not be troubled by the likes of her once her current term expires.

Hip Hip Hooray for the Trumbull RINO Republican Party! Who needs transparency and accountability in the Trumbull County commissioners office when "business as usual" serves better headlines and greases the right palms for kickbacks?

Now that the primary is over, I'd like to tell politicians that their commercials were annoying. Standing in a field shooting a 12-gauge doesn't make you a hunter or tell me about how you'll represent your constituents. Your endorsement means nothing to me. Tell me what legislation you sponsored or budget you supported. What problem did you solve? Standing in a garage doesn't make you a car and trying to ride on someone's coattails doesn't make you a politician.

Let's see, with the primary elections complete the mudslinging will get deep! One thing to always remember is that Sherrod Brown will always support the Biden agenda! Sherrod Brown's support of this misguided agenda only adds to every citizen's daily struggle. Higher prices folks higher prices!!

I sincerely hope people are listening to what Trump and the Republican Party are saying. They're saying what they plan to do. Our democracy, women's reproductive rights and civil rights are at stake. Also, is there a line Trump won't cross?

There was a Tribune story last week about a man who killed a pregnant Amish woman. He is charged with two homicides, one for killing the woman and one for killing the unborn fetus. Why can a doctor kill the same fetus during an abortion and not be charged? Either a fetus is a human life or it's not. If it's not, how can someone be charged with killing something that's not alive? You can't have it both ways.

Yes, the murder of Laken Riley was a tragedy. Maybe if Congress would cooperate, compromise and do their job, then it might have been prevented. However, Georgia last year had about 825 murders or one every 10.5 hours. Where is all the concern for the other 824 murders not committed by an illegal immigrant? Multiple studies have shown they commit far fewer crimes than citizens. They don't want to draw attention to themselves and be sent back.
