Northington understands the middle class

Newark, Del. —

Today’s middle class is gradually disappearing due to a failing economy, high gas prices and job outsourcing. As a member of the middle class here in Delaware, I have personally felt the effects of this over the past eight years.


Biden's legislation will fight crime

Local crime is not a mere local issue.  Weapons and drugs do not simply materialize in our communities; rather they travel great distances and cross many borders before arriving in our neighborhoods.  The issue is inescapably national and requires federal intervention.

State Democratic party should spend money to help Denn in Lt. Governor campaign, not waste it on helping Markell.


Criticism of Clark unfair

The storm of criticism of Paul Clark, president of New Castle County Council, is unfair.
The changes proposed by Mr. Clark have been discussed in open meetings at the James Gilliam Building which were attended by people with a variety of backgrounds, community advocates, non-profit organizations, legal and engineering professionals, bankers, builders and realtors.

June 30, 2008, may be remembered in history as the day Americans began, in earnest, the moral and solemn process of holding their (servant) Government accountable to the Constitution -- under threat of withdrawal of allegiance, support and tax money.

I read Ted Bartolec’s opinion “Environmentalists want to control people’s lives” and was struck by the anger, frustration and narrow mindedness of his views. Unfortunately, many people are like this and some realities of the environmental movement need to be brought to light.


Understanding yourself means understanding the Bible

Thanks to the “history revisionists” the vast majority of people are ignorant of the facts, that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are all rooted in the Bible and God’s word, which inspired our founding fathers to bring forth upon this continent this “Nation under God.”

Meeting presented unbiased view of proposed Stoltz developments

Posted Jun 27, 2008 @ 02:41 PM
Greenville, Del. —

Certain statements attributed to Stoltz’ representative in today’s Greenville Community News article are misleading. Stoltz representatives, with whom I have never spoken, claim that I said that my constituents “would not participate in any meeting with Councilman Tansey's constituents.” I had explained to Stoltz’ legal counsel that I preferred to hold my own meeting for my constituents since two of the three Stoltz projects are in my district and the third project [Barley Mill Plaza] directly affects my constituents in Westover Hills and Westhaven. In fact, the Barley Mill Plaza project has arguably greater impact upon residents in the Second Council District, whose properties border the proposal, than those in any other Council district.

Education lacking for legislators

Milton, Del. —

Whether one’s cause is the environment, open government, civil rights or something else, many Delawareans feel our state legislators, particularly our senators, are failing us miserably.  What do they not understand about representative government?

'Fossil fuel lifestyle' affects air, food, health

Posted Jun 23, 2008 @ 03:02 PM
Wilmington, Del. —

As a pediatrician and clinical pathologist who has cared for children suffering from a wide range of illnesses worsened by environmental pollutants for two decades, it is almost comical to read the astounding array of misconceptions and ludicrous assertions propagated in the article “Environmentalists want to control people’s lives” in your June 10 issue.  The article reads more like an advertisement from Exxon Mobile or like the rantings of McCarthy in the 1950s than anything remotely intelligent.
