To The Reader’s Forum: In response to the paper’s editorial on the New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO) role with regard to pricing the “social cost of carbon” into the wholesale electric markets, we feel it is incumbent upon us, as the independent operator of the state’s ...
To The Reader’s Forum: It is about time that the American people were educated and informed about what true “Socialism” is and is not. The fact is that in true socialism, “the means of production” are owned and controlled by all of the people. In other words, in true socialism all ...
To The Reader’s Forum: My Catholic faith compels me to work to protect this planet and the people who are already suffering due to climate change. One important step our country can take is to enact a carbon fee and dividend policy which would place a steadily increasing fee on fossil ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Whatever one may think of the Mueller investigation, all Americans should agree it has gone too far to turn back. This investigation has spent nearly two years pursuing the truth, and everyone has the right to know all the facts behind Russian interference during ...

To The Reader’s Forum: Having read this mornings P-J article on the new proposed law for New York state concerning gun raffles, I feel the need to write this. Countless clubs and associations use raffles to augment their budgets. Dues and fees just don’t create the capital to run a ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Isn’t it amazing at how much publicity has been dedicated to controlling the problem of weed growth and the demise of our lake, but not until January 27 did we realize that our state Legislature was even discussing abortion? Of all days to publish this news the ...
To The Reader’s Forum: First, I would like to thank Dr. Victor for his editorial. It scared me until I read the whole thing. When I was a kid, we were taught if you are honest and do the right thing, you will be rewarded. This is called “character.” When we watched “Gunsmoke” ...
To The Reader’s Forum: This month our nation celebrates the birthdays of perhaps our two greatest presidents, the 18th century father and the 19th century preserver of our republic. The following letter, to Mrs. Bixby, was written by the second of these men after he had been re-elected ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Last Friday our daughter came up from Pittsburgh with the intention of touring the Comedy Museum. She grew up here and although her adult life has been in Pittsburgh, she found it difficult to get to the museum. She never saw a sign with instruction as to where, ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Instead of producing an economic and moral environment conducive for citizens to move to New York, our governor has another agenda to impose. Cuomo not only has “legally” erased distinctions between genders, he just passed a law to erase the lives of more ...
To The Reader’s Forum: I present this information for your consideration. The Great Wall of China was not built to repel the Mongols. The wall was commissioned by the first emperor who died in 210 BC, long before the emergence of the Mongols around AD 800. The threat was from Xiongnu, ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Last Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019, I went with my husband to pick up a few things at Walmart. As we entered the store a few people passed us on their way out. They were speaking in the Spanish language. All of a sudden, from a little further down the entryway, a man ...
To The Reader’s Forum: I am deeply disturbed by a few major events from this past week. I am saddened that teenage boys who were trying to do good and stand for life, were portrayed as doing evil. Watch the you-tube videos to see their reactions to those who were harassing them. They ...
To The Reader’s Forum: Dear “President” Trump, I have watched you over the past two years plus. I think you either did not read your “job description” or you have made up your own. Here are a few points you missed: ¯ The President is the leader of the United States of ...
To The Reader’s Forum: I am writing in response to the article that ran in The Post-Journal 1/20/19 titled: Wind Turbines Topic Still Causes Tension in Arkwright. I am compelled to respond to the highly sensationalized and inaccurate reporting. I don’t want readers to think I am prone ...
To The Reader’s Forum: A headline in the P-J says Tom Reed wants “compromise” over border security. So do I. So, why is “compromise” so hard you might ask? Here’s my take. First, and foremost, Donald Trump and Republicans mistakenly believe that they can use roughly 25% of ...
To The Reader’s Forum: In light of the recent media postings and Facebook articles I’m seeing about the MAGA teenagers harassing Native Americans after the March for Life in Washington, I felt it was appropriate to share my experiences at the march, because unfortunately, it’s not an ...
To The Reader’s Forum: The Honorable Congressman Reed deserves a big thumbs up for supporting a border wall between Mexico and the United States. Here is why. Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution reads, “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this ...
