DEAR EDITOR: There have been two letters in this paper asking why there are no more police blotters posted in our paper. This is the third. Two reasons why: first, there is no crime in the Tri-County area; or second, no one wants to tell us what is really going on in our various communities. I say it’s number two! RUTH LILLEY Niles
Kudos to the Tribune editorial staff for questioning Judge Campbell’s light sentence given to Anthony Marble-Salem for causing the vehicular homicide of Nick Stoian. Campbell’s pronouncement should be vacated, and the guilty party should be retried. It is ridiculous that taking a man’s life was punished by such a paltry sentence. Mr. Stoian not only lost his life, but the lives of his family (wife and three young children) will forever be altered. Remember this at the next election! — Warren Again this week I laughed as I read Sound Off. The usual writers from Canfield and ...
DEAR EDITOR: It grieves me deeply that we have become a country where human lives, those of the immigrants in our country, are so expendable and treated like dirt, placed in horrific, unimaginable and dreadful conditions, basically steel cages, like those for animals that this administration is so proud of, with parents separated from children, many of whom may never see their parents again. It happened in Trump’s first administration, and it is happening again. Yes, there are many illegals that should be deported, but they are in the minority, and so many who are contributing to ...
DEAR EDITOR: Why is it that the lunatic left-wing liberals are seemingly always on the wrong side of every issue? From the border, foreign affairs, the economy, gender, COVID, the war on fossil fuels, climate change, Iran, Israel and Hamas, immigration, crime, gangs, the Second Amendment and much, much more, they are completely out of touch with reality. In Iowa in October 2008 on the campaign trail, Obama said, “When elected I will fundamentally change the country” is when all this woke and corrupt crap started. He and his elite band of power-hungry crazies don’t give a rat’s ...
DEAR EDITOR: Recently, the Tribune Chronicle reported on the $600,000 purchase of a Mobile Emergency Command Vehicle (MECV). This purchase was approved by all three of last year’s Trumbull County commissioners. I have been waiting for the Tribune to do a poll of its readers to see how they felt about it. Apparently they did not care to know. In my opinion this has to be one of the worst expenditures the county ever made. The county emergency manager gave two examples of when the MECV could have been used. They were five and nine years ago. Nothing in the last five years? The ...
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 ...
