Letter: Houlahan must condemn Black Lives Matter rioting

These demonstrations began as peaceful protests but have evolved into destructive rampages that have caused untold damage to lives and property in numerous cities throughout our nation. Following selected Internet links...

Letter: Killion is a true public servant
To The Editor:
The current political environment is toxic. We are rightfully tired of politicians. However, Senator Tom Killion stands out as an atypical public servant, an outstanding individual who cares deeply about his constituents. Sen. Killion is down to earth, a great family person who gets things done in a bipartisan manner. Tom played a key role in getting the PA Senate Bill 1108 passed...

Letter: Emmons is wrong for PA-6
To The Editor,
This Election Day, voters in Chester and Berks counties selecting their representative in Congress will have to choose between a military veteran with a solid record of public service, and a virtually unknown man whose only apparent accolade has been his record of success in business.

Op/Ed: Gerrymandering, who it affects and what you can do
By Nadya Dato, Special to The Times
Nadya Dato
I’ve always taken an interest in government. The rules and regulations of our society help us coexist, and I’ve always believed following these rules brought fairness and equality to everyone. As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve come to realize that isn’t true – not only are the rules unfair, but some choose not to play...
Trump is a racist; if you support him, are you?
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
The truth has a mighty power to bring itself to the forefront, making it impossible to ignore. The shootings in Wisconsin this week again shone a light on what might be the mightiest truth in our country right now: we still have a racism problem.
As in too many of us white folks are pretty freakin’ racist. Still.
Still.
Here in Chester County, one of...
