Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: It is time to look at the voting record of Carol Miller, our representative in the U.S. Congress for the last two years. I read through dozens of bills in Miller’s Congressional voting records, and found several which relate to our lives in the middle of the Virus....

By Delegate Cindy Lavender-Bowe It’s been several months since the end of the 2020 legislative session. My colleagues and I headed home to dive immediately into Covid-19 preparedness in our communities. While that work continues today and will go on for some time, I want to take a moment to...

Dear Editor: “Contact me if you have any suggestions” That is what Mr. Detch said in his last letter looking for a candidate. When will Mr. Detch and the Democratic, not Democrat, party realize that Women are no longer dependent on men to tell them when and for who they...

Dear Editor: On a recent trip to Wal-mart I was confronted with a new political sign: Five “well fed” old white men in business suits and red ties promoting West Virginians for Trump. This reminded me of a Judge Kramer story. Judge Kramer was a well liked but crusty Greenbrier...

Dear Editor: I have to confess that I don’t have the formal academic achievements as Greenbrier County’s esteemed barrister of the Democratic Executive Community. I certainly understand the Protestant work ethics. My prospective is that of a humble working class retail worker. I’ve worked hard all my life. Sometimes, I...

Dear Editor: A comment, that Donald Trump was on track to winning Greenbrier County by a 70% margin made by Ben Anderson, the Republican County Chairman, started this series of letters. The national polls show Joe Biden by a landslide. If Ben is right, this would be a sad commentary...

Dear Editor: As chairman of the Greenbrier County Democratic Executive Committee, I hoped to provoke a friendly dialogue with the Republican Party so that from our discourse the public could see the different core values of the two parties. Two Republican friends, Bonijean Isaacs and Frank Truckwiller, responded to an...
