Take a look at what friends and neighbors have to say about local hot topics and join in on the conversation.

I’ve called PennDOT several times about some of these huge potholes there at the Hanover Street Bridge and North Hanover Street out around Third Street. We’ve been told that they are state roads. You call PennDOT and all you get is the runaround that they will be done in September or whatever. We might as well just send those guys right down to Washington. I’m sure they’d be right at home down there with those other people who get nothing done.

To the person who called in saying the OJR taxpayers are misinformed and that OJR is a great district, that is so far from the truth. This taxpayer who thinks that it is a good school district is living way in the past or they do not know the current situation. Wake up and smell the corruption.

I keep seeing on the news information about the opioid crisis and that manufacturers and distribution companies might be charged. What they need to look at are, number one, doctors who write for three months supply of narcotics. Number two, insurance companies that approve that amount sometimes as many as 400 pills, one insurance company being Pennsylvania Welfare. Number three, the pharmacies who distribute those large quantities, all for the almighty dollar.

Josh Holt released from a Venezuelan prison for two years on weapons charges was told by Trump he was brave and went through a lot. Yet he said John McCain was no war hero and that he liked people who weren’t captured. Go figure. McCain deserves more respect from our president. Lord Liv

That medicine Ambien, check online all the side effects. That stuff is too dangerous to be put out there to people. Why do they not take that off the market? Go online and check all the bad side effects. It even gives people horrible nightmares, they don’t know what they’re doing and so on.

This is to Starbucks. I want to know how naive you people are for being in business. Those two guys came in there to use the bathroom which they were told they couldn’t because they didn’t buy but they sat there at the table claiming they’re waiting for a real estate man to come in because they were studying real estate. Well what happened with having to go to the bathroom? They never had to go. That was a ploy to start trouble and you people buckled. Wake Up

Meek Mill, if that judge doesn’t put you back in jail then that just proves there is no justice system. Just because you’re famous and everyone wants to do protests that’s why you got out. What about regular people? Famous people should not be treated any different.

Sixth Ward, we need help. We have no council person, no code enforcement, no police traffic enforcement. As for traffic enforcement see if and when you see officers enforcing our 25 mph speed limits or how about the alleys and yards in the Sixth Ward, no code enforcement. But most of all we have no representation who talks or takes action for us in our ward. People, we need to go to borough hall and to the upper people and talk about getting something done.

The other day a reporter asked the president where is Melania we haven’t seen her since she had her surgery and the president pointed to her at the window. Well of course she’s hiding because she’s so ashamed of her husband. Wouldn’t you be? And she asked us to be best when he is the worst. God bless you Melania. I wouldn’t change places with you for all of your money.

To the people who think North Monroe Street by the high school is the Indy 500 or Dover Downs, you’re being reported to the police. I’ll be taking license plate numbers. Enough is enough, slow down.

Donald Trump said roughly 75 people were killed in Puerto Rico during the storm. They just did a Harvard study that said it was over 4,600. Who do you believe, a Harvard study or lying Trump study?

Lady Di, why is Fox News with host Shep Smith now supporting Robert Mueller’s investigation saying there is no witch hunt as the investigation has produced indictments and guilty pleas. Also Smith said there is nothing to support Trump’s claim that Mueller’s team is meddling in the midterms. This is very big because Fox News was the only newscast supporting Trump. This could be the beginning of the end. Clark S. Kent

We have Welfare, Section 8, food stamps, child care, school meals, free phones and relatives pay to take care of their family members. What is going to be next?
