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

This is for Gov. Wolf. Once again as your second term started I see you’re doing nothing for property tax but I did notice that gas is up to $2.69 a gallon. Seniors may be losing their homes and now we can’t even afford to put gas in our cars. If someone can tell me, what has this governor done for Pennsylvan­ia seniors? I don’t think he’s done anything. How did he get re-elected? Thank you Mr. Wolf. —An Upset Senior Citizen

To One Who Reads, you can’t have it both ways. You have illegal aliens running from socialism but the Democrats want a form of socialism. Plus you are worried about babies or little kids being left at borders by irresponsi­ble parents but yet you want to kill ours. Duh. —Jay P.

Movements like Draw The Lines have less to do with good government than they do imposing destructiv­e socialist agendas. With teachers unions, manic feminists and left wing journalist­s in the vanguard, nothing good can come of them. That Philadelph­ia’s Committee of Seventy is involved should beg the question — What about Philadelph­ia is emblematic of good government? Nothing. —M. Furlong

In regards to need or greed, in one of his last acts President Obama arranged with the state department for 20 years of vacations until 2036 for up to 24 members of family and staff and even the dog sitter. Kudos to President Trump for cancelling this $2.1 billion boondoggle on the American taxpayer. Yes you can verify it on Snopes. —Info Depot

I think the Caernarvon Township Board of Supervisor­s is opening the door for organized crime in Morgantown when they approve the casinos. May I suggest they drive down and look at Atlantic City and witness the result of casinos. Is this what they want the legacy to be for Morgantown?

Several weeks ago our car was hit by a snow plow and sustained excessive damage. I would like to thank Allstate Insurance, Piazza Honda and Enterprise Car Rental for the guidance and patience in taking care of all of the issues. Everyone was helpful, profession­al and courteous and made this ordeal much more bearable. Thanks so much to everyone involved.

This is to Local Fast Food Boyertown. You say you had gone back into the restaurant to get some ketchup for food you had just purchased and you observed a food handler not using rubber gloves. The question that comes to my mind is why didn’t you yourself call this to the attention of the on-duty manager? Why did you call Sound Off and state that someone else should tell the manager?

This is to Lefty. I see you’re complainin­g about Robert Kraft being a friend of Trump’s. I guess you never heard of the Kennedy brothers, Clinton and Obama, I’m sure they had friends that did the same thing, especially the Hollywood people.

I am beyond disgusted at these traitors, especially Mr. Rubio who I was going to vote for for president before Mr. Trump came to the fore, who voted to not supply him the money for a wall on our southern border. These people in Congress are disgusting anymore. I am never going to vote for Mitt Romney again in particular.

I’d like to thank the Phoenixvil­le Hospital and the nurses and doctors for the excellent care they gave me in the hospital, and also my daughters who stayed with me during the night. I really appreciate it. It would me nice if they had lounge chairs in the rooms which would be more comfortabl­e. I thank you and God bless all the nurses and doctors. —Frances

So now it seems that if anyone disagrees or criticizes our great president they will have to answer to the police, the military and the Bikers for Trump. Wow, can you say dictator? I sure can.

Another American citizen a woman was bludgeoned to death by an illegal immigrant. How dare they come into our country and kill our innocent lawabiding citizens. First of all they’re coming in here illegally, second this man had prior things against him but because of California’s sanctuary law he was saved. It’s a disgrace. Every American should be outraged, every American.

Residents, springtime is around the corner in Douglass (Mont.) and it’s soon time to get to work outside in your gardens and yards but in my neighborho­od I have to watch out for ticks, snakes and my cats bringing home huge rats. My neighborho­od was reported to the zoning office last year and nothing was done. We pay taxes like everyone else. I think the township worries more about the new upcoming housing developmen­ts than the older neighborho­ods. —Disgusted in Gilbertsvi­lle
