To the Editor: Symington backs Sorrell for AG
In the race for Attorney General, T.J. Donovan has stated that Bill Sorrell should have steered legislators away from passing bold progressive legislation that might draw lawsuits.

To the Editor: Democrats should have endorsed Sorrell
Dear Editor, We are appalled that the Democratic State Committee failed to endorse the Democratic candidate Bill Sorrell.

You, the members of Chester’s Development Review Board, will soon announce the results of your deliberations on the issue. Those […]

It is also informed by my own experiences within the mental health system as well. In my view, when someone is experiencing a crisis of one fashion or another, including acute episodes of […]
To the Editor: Constituents support cellphone ban
I recently distributed an informal poll, prepared by state Sen. William Doyle, to my constituents in Andover, Baltimore and Chester to give them an opportunity to share their thoughts on various issues of statewide importance.
