Expand Valley coverage in Tribune Chronicle

DEAR EDITOR: We have been customers of the Tribune Chronicle for many years, but I am planning a change. We live about 200 yards from Mahoning County near the Trumbull County line. I think that it is ridiculous that I must buy a Tribune to see the nearby Trumbull County schools’ scores—teams such as Newton Falls, Lordstown and McDonald. And I have to buy a Vindicator to see local school scores, such as Jackson-Milton, Canfield and Austintown Fitch. If you truly want to be the Valley’s newspaper, you should cover news from both areas. I have not run a newspaper, but I ...

Danny Lee Hill gave no mercy, received too much

DEAR EDITOR: Once again, Danny Lee Hill appeals to our government for mercy. Our government has already given Hill years of mercy. He sits in prison with all of the costs of living paid for by the American taxpayers. His crime was a brutal, savage act of cruelty that showed no mercy to a young boy. Sadly, the family of this boy has had to relive this horrible experience year after year. Where was their mercy? Hill has repeatedly filed motions to evade the decision of the court, but the brutality of this crime will always haunt his family and our community. Where was our mercy? A ...

Trump is reprehensible is so many ways

DEAR EDITOR: It is said that Trump is “the greatest geopolitical disaster in history.” In my opinion he is that and more. He is a national disaster and has taken us from status as a world class country to nothing more than a laughingstock to the rest of the world. Our allies have been lost. He has said and done things never imagined from a president of any country. His love and admiration for three of the world’s worst dictators puts Trump in their class for the degradation of humanity. Remember that our president is a convicted felon, no matter how you spin it, he is a felon ...

Frenchko’s op-ed on hospital exceptional

DEAR EDITOR: Niki Frenchko’s April 5 editorial on the predatory strategies used by private equity firms to strip health care organizations such as Trumbull Memorial Hospital and Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital of their assets and community value was outstanding. She adeptly explained how these unfettered financial investment companies have caused staggering damage to communities such as ours. And she chastised our country’s political and regulatory forces for sitting on the sidelines for years, unmoved and uninterested by the devastation such wealth-building enterprises ...

President Trump’s criticism of the pope

DEAR EDITOR: President Trump criticized Pope Leo’s take on the Iranian war. An image accompanied the President’s statements depicting Trump in red and white robes resembling Jesus, healing a man, surrounded by four white onlookers, jets, first-responders, the Statue of Liberty, fireworks and America’s flag. This image has generated many allegedly “real” posts, pro and con. Behold the posts…… 1. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better…” DJT 2. “Bright colors, sick man, nice people, shiny airplanes, and my Dad…” Eric Trump 3. ...
