Letters To The Editor

Live Better, Be A Good Witness God’s Love To The Readers’ Forum: This is an open letter of response to an editorial from Rev. Mel McGinnis published in the January 25th edition of the Post Journal. You taunt “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” Really? What an immature response to the fatal “prize” awarded by the unrestrained, untrained, out of control ICE agent who shot Renee Good at point blank range! No ICE agent is empowered to be judge, jury and executioner for the “stupid game” of not following instructions. You are blaming the victim. And this is an ...

NYS Lawmakers, Remember We Have An Affordibility Crisis

In Our Opinion

Sen. Pam Helming has a simple request of her fellow New York state lawmakers - tell people the projected costs of bills that would expand insurance coverage requirements. Last week, senators passed legislation that shines a light on why Helming’s bill (S.8619) is so desperately needed. Senators approved S.4497 to remove an existing restriction on infertility preservation services that would make more of those services something required to be covered by insurers in New York state. As is the case with most insurance coverage bills that come before the state Legislature, supporters ...

It’s Time For Congress To Lead And Trump To Follow

Letters To The Editor

To The Readers’ Forum: Congressman Langworthy: Our country needs you to stand up for what is right and what our country stands for. What is happening in Minneapolis and other cities is not right. I agree that some undocumented immigrants need to be deported, expeditiously if possible, but not at the expense of the rights of the majority of law abiding, tax paying individuals. The current administration has basically sent federally approved thugs to rampage recklessly through cities causing tremendous damage to people and property and costing innocent lives. Congress needs to ...

No Good News From The Trump Administration

Letters To The Editor

To The Readers’ Forum: Roughly one year is gone - only three more of the Trump administration to go! (Thank goodness!) But what a year this has been! First, I’ll give you the “bad” news. “Normal” has left the building! “Project 2025” has become the tool, the blueprint, of conservatives and Trump. Roughly10% of the federal workforce has been fired by Trump, and various agencies of the federal government, from the Education Department to Health & Human Services to the Consumer Protection Agency, to name but a few, have been decimated or abolished - many more people ...

Housing Policy Is New Council’s First Real Test

In Our Opinion

We had said before the end of 2025 that new City Council members faced a steep learning curve before taking office on Jan. 1. Judging from community suggestions brought to the council recently by the Jamestown Justice Coalition, there are some who want the new four Democrats on the council to move quickly - particularly when it comes to housing. We don’t disagree that there is too much substandard housing in Jamestown. And we hear far too often about people who pay their rent only to struggle to get things like broken furnaces fixed or to have water problems fixed quickly. ...
