Letter to the editor: Clean up Pittsburgh’s air
During the pandemic, I’ve been walking in Frick Park daily for physical exercise. Imagine how I felt when I learned that something I’m doing for my health could actually be dangerous! Allegheny County is in the top 2% of counties in the U.S. for cancer risk from air pollution, meaning...
Letter to the editor: Rental help needed during pandemic
I am happy for the people who won $190,000 from a lottery ticket purchased in Greensburg (“Winning lottery ticket sold at Greensburg Shop ‘n Save,” Sept. 28, TribLIVE). They will be able to buy many nice things. And unlike many Americans, they will be able to make rent. Covid-19 has...
Letter to the editor: Trump’s success destroying left’s plans
No matter what political party you follow, an open mind promotes learning the truth — and what you find may have more to it than you realize. Most Americans want safety, freedom and financial security. Unfortunately, some Americans would sacrifice their rights and safety to gain more government benefits. I...

Letter to the editor: Format change needed for presidential debates
The first presidential debate was disastrous, in terms of outlining positions and helping voters make a rational decision. Rather than the candidates or the moderator, blame falls on the debate commission that set up the format. In making so much of the session “open discussion,” the commission ended up predictably...
Letter to the editor: Making sense of governor’s covid-19 rules
Once again the governor issues some head-scratching rules. The large venue limits make no sense at all. Why in the world would he cap 7,500 in a nearly 70,000 seat stadium (Heinz Field)? Looking at the numbers that he seemed to pull out of a hat, there would actually be...
Letter to the editor: Goodbye Columbus, hello Bruno
After much weeping, moaning and gnashing of teeth (on both sides), a panel has recommended to “disappear” the statue of Christopher Columbus from Schenley Park (“Pittsburgh Art Commission recommends removal of Columbus statue from Schenley Park.”) and the mayor agreed. The “art commission” has no problem with a “worthy Italian...
Letter to the editor: Will Dems make America a one-party nation?
On Sept. 17, 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked what type of government the Founding Fathers had created. His reply: “a republic, if you can keep it.” I will be voting for Donald Trump because in my opinion, he is the only presidential candidate who will guarantee we will remain a...
