Letter: Criticism of Trump coming from loyalists

0

Our political thinking is not only polarized — it’s growing. We mostly only listen to those who share our opinions. We talk primarily with those who reinforce our prejudices. Honest political dialogue becomes nearly impossible.

In the Dec. 27 issue of The Gazette, Ohio’s sanctimonious Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown prattled on about his efforts to protect Ohio from fentanyl trafficking.

The blessed hope of Advent

0

It is my task and opportunity to write these few lines at the time of the year we call Advent. In some traditions, the four Sundays before Christmas are dedicated one each to the following themes: hope, peace, joy and love. There is some variation in the order, but for the purpose of this writing, the first is the candle of hope. The birth of Jesus means that the faithful are to be a people of hope.

Letter: More homes leading to overcrowding in schools

0

Sunday as I put my daughter to bed, I looked at her and pondered the fact that she will enter a school system that is overcrowded and underfunded. It’s not her fault she is being born in Delaware, Ohio, and entering this school system. I look to her future and what is to come and start to cringe at the fact that overcrowding of the school system could have been prevented by our city council and their decisions.

Letter: Finding your purpose in life

0

I read Scott Tiede’s column of Nov. 11 (‘Younger generation taught things that aren’t true’), and I’d like to offer a few thoughts of my own on some of the matters he spoke about. I’ve known Scott for several years and consider him a friend. We occasionally have coffee together and discuss things both religious and political, and although our worldviews frequently diverge, I am always delighted when we share time together.

Our national security depends on constant innovation, including from the defense industry.

Cutting taxes for Ohio teachers

0

For most teachers, hard work never pays off the way it should. It’s no secret that they are underpaid and overworked, always sacrificing for their students, families and communities. For many educators, that includes spending their own hard-earned money on classroom supplies to give students the education they deserve.

Supporting local law enforcement

One of my most important jobs is getting resources to Ohio, that includes funding for law enforcement. I’ll use any tool available to make sure Ohio gets our fair share, or more, of federal resources.
