Reminder: No parking on grass in Warren DEAR EDITOR: As we approach the summer in Warren, “The City of Festivals,” I wanted to remind Mayor Doug Franklin of the policy listed on his city’s very own application for having events on Courthouse Square. The city does not allow cars to be parked on the grass when people are conducting set-up and tear-down for events. In fact, a $100.00 per vehicle fine is listed as a penalty. Wow! Every summer event has plenty of people ignoring this policy. Calls to City Hall are met with no action. Sad! I know a retired city operations employee ...

This is an urgent message to all Republican Central Committee members, please vote Denny Malloy for party chairman. Is this request based upon his work ethic, business acumen, professionalism or even leadership abilities? Of course not, he is lacking and subpar in all of these categories. Democrats in Trumbull County need Malloy. Democrats want Denny as the Republican Party chairman in order to turn this county back to true blue. Please support this cause. Go Malloy! Or better yet, just go! — Warren Writer David Skolnick noted that local Democrats echoed Sherrod Brown’s questions ...

Supreme Court has betrayed the American people DEAR EDITOR: Our leaders, whether elected or appointed, are entrusted to carry out the will of the people — not seize power, take bribes and rule over us. But the MAGA justices on the Roberts court have once again betrayed the American people, destroying the Voting Rights Act in a bid to lock themselves into power. With their latest decision, the Roberts court is handing MAGA politicians the power to prevent black and brown people’s votes from counting so that their billionaire backers can control the outcome of our elections and ...

I removed my Tribune paper box. No more morning deliveries. No Sunday paper. I wished they stopped the Tuesday paper instead. Nothing happens on Tuesdays. The paper is now delivered by mail in the afternoon. I delivered the Tribune back in the ’60s and ’70s. Back then, a paperboy was also expected to collect the money from the customers. My neighbor says he is cancelling. The news will be old by then. Is this the end of an era in Warren? — Warren Councilman Brian Kropp on Linkedin lists his position as a Newton Falls Councilman of 4 years and 10 months. However Mr. Kropp was ...

What are the facts on city officials’ raises? DEAR EDITOR: As a Warren taxpayer, I am outraged that City Auditor Vince Flask refuses to provide a simple, total dollar amount for what the recent pay raises for elected and appointed officials are costing us. On May 8, I requested a spreadsheet — formatted exactly like the one his office already gave council — showing each official’s raises from 2023 through 2025. Instead of answering a straightforward question, Auditor Flask hid behind technicalities, claiming that the spreadsheet was merely “illustrative” and that my ...

Columnist John Stossel wrote electric bills won’t go up, but nothing about how data centers will use up your water. Where are we going to get more when the centers take it all and we have a drought? Guess we hope it rains every day to fill the lakes. — Warren What is a California Democrat congressman touring Ohio for? California, if any state, needs the most help in almost EVERY way. Maybe he wants to boost has-been Sen. Sherrod Brown’s slim chances in November. Sorry Ro, but we already got Brown and Ryan defeated for good! We were tired of them riding the coattails of unions, ...
