Frustrated with providing proof of ID

To the editor: Who am I? I don't know for sure who I am. I went to get a new driver's license the other day. To be able to fly on a plan, your driver's license must have a little star on it, that proves who you are. I took my old Medicare card, my new Medicare card, title to my car, an electric bill, my army service card with picture, an old driver’s license with picture, an AAA membership card, my insurance company card, my credit union ID card, and a blood donor card. I also had a birth certificate from East Liverpool City Hall, I got some years ago. But they said it's just a ...

A rebuttal: Everyone wins with defeat of traffic cameras

To the editor: Recently a former city auditor voiced an opinion on how the only people who win after the defeat of the traffic cameras are speeders. As an American, and as one who was an elected official, you should be ashamed of yourself. Absolutely no one that fought to end the cameras condoned speeding, and we are all in agreement that speeding can and does increase fatalities due to traffic related accidents. What there seems to be a disconnect with is you either don't understand your rights as an American provided by you in the constitution or you simply want to pick and choose ...

Speeders are winners with defeat of traffic camera issue

To the editor: The voters in East Liverpool have done their city a grievous act. When the traffic camera issue was defeated, only the abusers of speed laws were the winners. These are people with an inability to control themselves within the laws that have been set up to protect the public. Of course, breaking laws generally has a monetary cost attached to it and that is likely the real issue. These offenders are unwilling to pay for choices they have made. When you choose to break the law, there is a penalty for that. Who did the traffic camera hurt? Only the offenders. Who ...

Responds to comments regarding Christmas tree

To the editor: I am responding to the comments that was on The Review’s website concerning the decorating of the city's Christmas tree in the Diamond area and complained on how horrible it looked. My name is Paula Vaughn and I am vice president of The Beacon Association here in East Liverpool. There was only a group of five of us that took time out of our already busy day to decorate the tree and the Diamond area (I had blasted all social media outlets three days in advance asking anyone in the community to come and help decorate the tree and Diamond area). Three to four days ...
