Letter to the editor: Allegheny County should tax on land value
I request our Allegheny County representatives, whatever they decide on increasing the property tax, it be 100% on land value. It is time to transition to the only tax that enhances economic productivity. Tax revenue derived from land value puts more land into play. Vacant land is put to use....

Letter to the editor: Impact of tariffs, deportations
Massive tariffs are what Donald Trump proclaims will solve all our economic and manufacturing woes. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Editorial: Why does an endorsement matter?
