Letter to the editor: Faith can change lives
I loved the letter “Using God’s word correctly” (June 30, TribLIVE). Studying God’s word, learning the Bible and putting the word into action can change a person’s life. It will cost you time and it takes years to develop a strong personal relationship with the Lord, but the reward is...

Editorial: Lawmakers: Carpe diem; end per diems
Taxpayers, who employ Pennsylvania legislators, should reimburse those employees for the expenses they incur while conducting the public business, just as a private employer should cover its employees’ work-related expenses. But they should do so under a comparable system. Private employers don’t simply provide employees with a flat-rate expense payment....

Despite what President Biden says , there is no such thing as loan “forgiveness.” Others will pay the debt for people who...

Letter to the editor: Freedom of speech; religion and morality
I think the writer of the letter “Our rights are being eroded” (July 9, TribLIVE) needs to reread the First Amendment. It states Congress shall make no laws abridging the freedom of speech. Nowhere does it say there will not be consequences for speech in the private sector. So people...

Letter to the editor: We need pride celebrations because of our bigotry

The increased visibility and mainstream inclusion of this part of our population have caused great discomfort among those who spew hate-filled rhetoric toward those whom they don’t understand. This rhetoric has often led to violence against...

There will be exceptions, and one individual’s situation will be different from...
Editorial: Coroners’ obstruction is obituary for open records
