Letter to the editor: Both Jan. 6, and investigation, reprehensible
The events of Jan. 6, 2021, were reprehensible and troubling. So is the sham investigation (show) put on by the House of Representatives. An investigation starts with no predetermined conclusion, examines all the evidence and presents conclusions in a professional manner. The focus would be to prevent future occurrences. In...
When is a recession not a recession? Right now, say economists
You don’t have to tell Kevin McCallister there’s something wrong with the economy. “I’m just trying to stay under the radar as far as raising prices,” said McCallister, owner of Kevin’s Deli in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. While businesses often raise prices every year, many small businesses have been raising prices...
Editorial: Universities need to commit to stopping tuition increases
Pennsylvania’s state-related universities need to address what their response is to their gift from the governor. The state has four universities that fall into this category of public but not really public, private but not really private. They also are some of the largest in Pennsylvania. Penn State — the...

Letter to the editor: Questions on North Huntingdon’s waiver procedure
I recently became aware of a practice by the North Huntingdon commissioners to entertain requests for waivers of building permit fees from nonprofit organizations (“North Huntingdon rejects Norwin request to waive permit fee,” June 13, TribLIVE).

Letter to the editor: Selective fighting for rights
In her letter “Protesters are protected” (July 18, TribLIVE), Mary Beth Walling defends protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices as a justifiable right under the First Amendment. Despite the fact that the examples she gives are of protests that occurred in public places, my supposition is that, by...
John Dorfman: It’s time for a breath of sanity
After a drop of about 20% in the first six months of this year, investors feel nervous even though July has been good. This might be a good time to look at my Sane Portfolio. It is a hypothetical portfolio of 12 stocks. I started compiling it in 1999 and...

Danielle Zanzalari: US chip makers don’t need handouts
Even during high inflation, Congress chooses to waste money by giving it to large corporations that don’t need it. Last week, semiconductor firms convinced Congress to provide free money and tax credits for expanding their U.S. manufacturing business — business expansion they already started in 2020 and 2021. The logic...

Letter to the editor: Stop blaming government for everything
I’m tired of people blaming the government for everything they see as wrong in the world. School prayer, for instance. If you’re a praying person, and you raise your kids to be praying persons, and your kid doesn’t pray in school, that’s your fault, not the government’s. Likewise, if you...

Editorial: Wolf and Legislature resort to cartoon cat fighting
Will Pennsylvania ever again have a functional relationship between the Legislature and the governor? It seems unlikely. Indeed, it’s hard to remember a time when the two branches could do their jobs without being at each other’s throats in a round-robin of attacks as predictable as a Tom and Jerry...
