Letter to the editor: Orwell, Bradbury warned us
Have you seen and heard enough yet? I certainly have. I never thought that we would witness big tech silencing free speech or de-listing books whose subject they disagree with. A “woke” administration and Congress that appear more intent on advancing socialism and rewarding their friends than helping to make...
Editorial: State lawmakers need daily expenses accountability
What does it take to get you through the day? The price of your breakfast. A mid- morning cup of coffee. Lunch, a snack, dinner. A room for the night. How much would that total? For some state legislators, it’s quite the figure. A Spotlight PA dive into the government...
Letter to the editor: Commissioners misguided on gun-rights resolution
I have spent a lot of my lawyering years practicing and teaching civil rights. The Second Amendment is something I know a great deal about. That the Westmoreland County commissioners, or any county commissioners, should pass a resolution in support of the Second Amendment strikes me as a rather meretricious...
Letter to the editor: ‘Boys will be boys’ must end
The allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo involving sexual misconduct, intimidation and coercion are only symptoms of a boys-will-be-boys mentality that pervades our culture, excuses sexual discrimination, justifies degradation, minimizes assault and protects predators. It’s why so many turned a deaf ear and blind eye to President Trump’s obscene...

George Guido: Despite pandemic cancellation, high school streaks live on
We don’t quite know if 48 years of covering high school sports allows me to issue a decree, but if so, some streaks weren’t interrupted with the pandemic of 2020. The high school baseball and softball seasons were wiped out last year. So does that mean Leechburg’s softball streak of...
Burrell softball to debut new field, uniforms, coach in long-awaited ’21 season

Sounding off: Our politically correct dinner tables
Liberalism always achieves the opposite of its stated intent. Proof is ever more government spending that yields less in return to taxpayers.

Letter to the editor: Remember Reschenthaler’s actions when voting
