MERCY ME
I want to say what a great job Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital has been doing the last couple of years. As a longtime patient, I have never seen it looking so good inside and out. Great job and thanks again. MIKE FROM COLLINGDALE
WORTH EVERY NICKEL
I doubt that “Cutting Off That Check” ever wrote a check to PBS at all, since they’re concerned that the WHYY CEO makes $580,000. His salary is absolutely meaningless in the scope of things because getting informative entertainment that education is wellworth somebody getting paid a decent salary. “Cut- ting Off That Check” probably has no problem with people on Fox News getting paid millions of dollars to misinform them.
CONSERVATIVE = CRUEL
Paul Ryan said that he was worried that Trump might work with the Democrats on the health care bill and “would not lead to a bill adherent to conservative principles.” So apparently conservative principles include hurting the middle class and the poor and giving tax cuts to the rich in this country. I guess that’s what real conservative principles are according to Paul Ryan.
YOU’RE WELCOME
To “Enough Is Enough,” if I send a donation, I write that I do not want a thank-you letter. One that legit is Food for the Poor, whose pie chart shows 1 percent or less for administration charges. I hope that helps. A FRUGAL GUY
GRAB YOUR WALLET
Here we go, the county government needed to find a way to get more money out of the Delaware County population, so “tag, you’re it.” We’re going to get to the court to order the new countywide reassessment so we can just fill in all the numbers and get what we need. You thought you had all your tax bills in order? Now look what’s going to happen.
NEWS TO ME
I really enjoyed the article this week about the new Springfield High School. It looks great. One little item in the article mentioned “concerns of the nearby residents and St. Francis parish community.” I’m at third-generation member of St. Francis parish and I haven’t heard much of any negative comments or concerns about the high school. I can tell you from experience – Catholics are hard-wired to accept authority. REALIST ON ROLLING ROAD
ONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING
“One Who Knows” wants Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to leave Trump alone, but I’m sure “One Who Knows” had no problem with the Republicans bothering Obama for eight years. They thought that was all wonderful. You people are such a hypocrites it’s ridiculous.
DROWNING IN CORRUPTION
“Suzy Secane” doesn’t seem to understand much about the world. Philadelphia was a corrupt city under Republican leadership for many, many, many years. Democrats finally beat them in the early 1950s and they did a decent job for a while, but they got corrupt too. As a matter of fact, Republicans are much more corrupt than Democrats, but people like you are too foolish to understand this.
IT’S A GAS
I’d like to say what a great job the kids and teachers of Walnut Street Elementary School did with a car wash on March 25. It was a donation to the Family Fun Night; the kids were awesome. I’d also like to send a spe- cial thanks to the greatest teacher in the world, Shannon Graham.
REIN IN THE LAWYERS
People calling talking about what is destroying this country. No, it’s not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or Russia or any one person or country. It’s the lawyers. They make people bring suit for every little thing with ridiculous settlements. This raises health care cost, the taxes cities charge, money business has to charge for products and services, insurance premiums, public transportation charges, etc. Just look at their commercials. Somebody has got to step in and get fair settlements and stop what is going on. OPEN YOUR EYES
