Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

About people not cleaning up their leaves, I can see helping the disabled but we on Second Street also have this where you clean up your leaves several times and your neighbors could give a darn. I see such laziness in some neighborho­ods. My husband and I worked and always saw to it our leaves were taken care of. When leaves get wet they are slippery. One woman slipped on wet leaves and hurt herself. We should have something on the books just like snow removal.

People, don’t listen to the anti-Trump nightly news. Make up your own minds on the new tax bill — a $24,000 standard deduction, increased child tax credits and more. Who cares that the corporate rate has been reduced to 21 percent. Corporatio­ns create jobs. Just wait and see if the proof is in the pudding. That’s all you can do. For The People

I would like to know how these Democrats could not vote for a tax cut when they’re living high on the hog, all the benefits they have and all the things they get for free being in Congress and then they don’t want to give the average person a tax cut? What greed, and another thing, what grinches.

Does Jay Miller really believe all his Trump bashing will ever change anything and do you believe anybody really cares about his Trump bashing?

The Republican­s with their new tax plan have forgot that corporate business is corporate business and the profit it makes will not trickle down. Perhaps it did in the 30s and 40s but not in the year 2017. Their intentions are good but they have forgotten. God help us all. Santa Claus Hey Jay, all of Chicago’s crime problems can be laid directly at the feet of clueless corrupt liberal Democrats that have run the city for years and years. You’re in denial buddy.

I live in Stowe and I finally got mail during the daylight hours however it was my neighbor’s.

Once again and as always the Republican Party with the new tax bill stuck it to the working man. The Republican Party is a disgrace for the working people. Fact

The only thing scarier than plans by Trump to destroy all our national parks is that he doesn’t even care about what it will do to his own descendent­s. Truly truly scary.

Where do you get off saying the Eagle fans and organizati­on have no class? Because you hear of a small unruly bunch who get out of hand? Every sports team in this country has people like that. No you just use that as an excuse not to support them because you don’t have the guts to suck it up when they fall short at the end. Show some class and stop hating. You embarrass yourself.

This is to the person who was tailgating me and eventually passing me on Jackson Street on Wednesday morning in the white SUV. The speed limit is 35 not 65.

Despite winning their division and getting a bye in the first round of the playoffs, the second-rate city with an identity crisis still find a way to be a victim by whining about their players who did not make the Pro Ball, and yes I am a Eagles fan. No Snake Oil

I’d like to extend a big thank you to Pottstown Roller Mills for being such a big help and support to some of Santa’s helpers. Great people.

I just want to say that it’s OK for people to give for the holidays for Christmas every year but if they could give all this money then why can’t anybody start giving money for the Fourth of July fireworks where we could have fun?

I wonder if all the hatred spewers will accept their new raise coming in 2018 due to Trump’s tax plan. Yes even the Democrats with all their lies about the bill will most likely get a tax cut also. What a great and historic day for the American people. Truth Be Told

This Social Security raise that we received is a joke. They took our raise and put it in Medicare leaving seniors getting a couple dollar raise. Wow.

It is truly hilarious to me to watch how the Republican Party has turned a losing of America taxpayers into a celebratio­n of accomplish­ment. The short term life of this euphoria will end when millions of people put on the marching shoes and come out in force to repeal a tax reform bill that only benefits the ones at the top of the totem pole.

Chicago murders are down since Trump took over as president but the Mayor of Chicago Emanuel told him to mind his own business. That’s why he hasn’t done anything further.
