Letter: City not maintaining...

Buckelew Park until recently has always been cleaned by the Lancaster County Parks and Recreational Department. Now the city of Lancaster has signed a contract to keep up the park area while the county keeps up the ball fields.
I called the Solid Waste Department in January and was told the county takes care of that. I called the county three or four times and finally contacted the county administrator. I was contacted that day and told as mentioned above.

Column: S.C. producing many...

What a wonderful time to be a South Carolinian. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our representatives and point out the amazing jobs they are doing.
There are people in this country who look down on those of us who live in the South, and South Carolina is often included. However, when you see the quality of representatives we send to Washington and Columbia, I believe that clearly demonstrates the type of citizens we are and the expectations we have for those who represent us.

Letter: I trust majority vote...

I am writing concerning the letter to the editor in the April 3 paper by Ronald Hopkins, headlined “Electoral college is more vital than ever.”
I beg to disagree with Mr. Hopkins. Because of the electoral college, Donald Trump is in office now. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power, Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers.
Well, so be it. This is what happened with Trump.

Letter: Good idea to cut edition...

I want to be among the first to congratulate The Lancaster News management for reducing the paper to twice weekly.
I know you will continue with the same high-quality reporting, but hopefully with less-stressed staff.
My only concern is with the newsstand price of the paper. You said it was about the same as the cost of a cup of coffee. The last time I bought coffee, it was a nickel. Come to think of it, so was the paper I was reading.
Oh well....

Letter: 2 or 3 days OK with me,...

Thank you for your important article in Sunday’s Lancaster News informing us of the change in the number of editions and explaining the necessity of that decision.
Your comparison to grocery shopping was very clever – and helpful. I don’t care if it’s two or three days a week, as long as you keep those presses running.
I think The Lancaster News does supply, in your words, “exceptional community journalism for Lancaster County.” I can’t imagine a county without a newspaper.

Letter: Green New Deal is just...

The Green New Deal promoted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, is ridiculous. Her initials should stand for Another Outrageous Comment.

Column: Pace of other bills...

This week was another busy one in the House, as we enter the closing stretch of the General Assembly session.
Here’s what we’ve been up to, including legislation that I’ve sponsored.

Bills sent to the Senate
With the House budget in the hands of the Senate, the pace of other legislation has increased, including these bills that received final House passage this week and moved on to the Senate:

Letter: Let’s create kinder...

I am writing just to say how much I have appreciated my subscription to The Lancaster News.
I also want to say how much I appreciated Taylor Faile’s April 5 letter asking people to stop bashing each other. Reach out to each other with an act unexpected act of kindness, like holding a door, giving up a place in line, or offering to pay for a stranger’s hamburger.
With just even small acts, we can create a kinder community, and hopefully, a kinder nation.
