Government-controlled health systems not the solution

To the editor: As the 2020 election season ramps up, health care has been front and center. While some presidential candidates argue over whether "Medicare for All" or "the public option" is the better proposal, in reality, either of these government-controlled systems would be detrimental to Ohioans, especially those of us who live in rural communities. Under a new government-run health insurance system, middle-class Ohioans would face higher taxes, longer wait times and even a lower quality of care. These negative consequences would be felt even harder by Ohioans in rural ...

BDC executive director offers response

To the editor: The Business Development of the Northern Panhandle, BDC, has worked with county, state and federal officials to secure over $1 million in grant funding to environmentally clean up the TS&T property in Chester which had been neglected and abandoned for nearly 30 years. Without this effort by the BDC and our partners, the TS&T site would still be an economic and environmental detriment to the city of Chester. The BDC also partnered with the West Virginia Economic Development Authority, WVEDA, to finance and construct a building on the TS&T site as a way of attracting new ...

Victims of fire offers thanks for all who helped

To the editor: We would like to thank, God for His protection over us and also to local business, family, churches, friends, neighbors, first responders, and community members for all of your donations, kind words and prayers. As we watched nearly everything we owned going up in flames, we wondered how we would ever be able to pull our lives back together. The task seemed insurmountable as we were even at a loss as to know where to begin. But today, just a month later, thanks to God and the love and support that all of you have given us, our lives have gained a sense of "order" ...

Appreciates the humor of The Review’s columnist

To the editor: Only Fred Miller can bring humor to getting a colonoscopy! He certainly made my morning by his description of the preparation and the term "Up Periscope" had my wife and I laughing out loud! Fred’s continuing sense of humor is appreciated in a time when many people only focus on the negative aspects of life. Thanks Fred! Paul Anthony, Calcutta

Democrats need to flee from Trump

To the editor: Aha! News flash! Here it is Tuesday, February 4, and the results of Monday's Democrat caucus show no winner. Yet the Republicans report Donald Trump has won the Republican caucus overwhelmingly. Something smells. What further proof do you need? Trump, Russia and the Ukraine have concocted a scheme to disrupt the Democrats during their caucus in Iowa. Do you need further proof that the orange man is going to manipulate the 2020 election? No use voting, Iowa. Iowa would be a test to see if the evil aforementioned triumvirate could assure Trump of another stolen ...

Upset with message posted by former East Liverpool mayor

To the editor: I’m writing this letter to address an issue I have with a post from the former mayor of East Liverpool, Ryan Stovall. As a previous elected official, he needs to be held accountable for his actions and called out for the response he posted regarding The Review’s front page interview on Jan. 7, (specifically page A5) with the mayor-elect Greg Bricker. In his post, Mr. Stovall condemned Mayor Bricker for deciding to forgo salary and benefits (approximately $65,000) his first year in office. As a candidate, Mayor Bricker did not want this decision to influence the ...
