Old York Street Fair

(04:54 PM)

I'm a local crafter, I offer hand made items also buy-and-sell items in which I buy from wholesale suppliers. The Old York Street Fair advertises handmade items from local crafters. Needless to say I was very dissappointed in all the buy-and-sell items that a lot of vendors were selling. This was not fair to the vendors that do all their own work.

Hardworking Americans . . . white only?

(04:50 PM)

This letter is written with much concern over Senator Clinton's remarks about her "political base." The Clintons have made their careers with the support, hard work and love of African/African Americans. However, Senator Clinton has recently turned against those who have supported her and her husband over the years.

Bush family profits off Americans

(04:43 PM)

Have you ever wondered why, the first Bush president, did not know, we were in a recession? And why this Bush president, doesn't know we are in a recession? Could it be, because their oil companies, keep making so much profit, they don't have a clue, of what normal American families, are going through?

I may be naive, but I often wonder why, this President, and his father, with the oil companies that they own, do not cut their profits, to help the American people, and the country, they say they love.

Let parents handle discipline

(04:35 PM)

Regarding the opinion piece of 5/7 (School Discipline is a Balancing Act), I must say I'm dismayed that you would support schools attempting to impose any authority over the off-campus, non-school-related activities of children. Would you also sanction your boss disciplining you for private activities that he did not condone, that have no bearing or impact on your ability to do your job?

York Water Company favors shareholders

(04:29 PM)

It is, or at least was, my observation that water has become a most precious commodity, evidenced by the drought-parched communities in the South forced to truck the liquid in from other areas. Apparently, however, my perception has been effectively invalidated by the York Water Company that is now contemplating a rate increase because it did not realize a profit.

Different kinds of racism

(04:27 PM)

There are different kinds of racism – individual, cultural and institutional. Hopefully very few people are deliberately racist, yet a country cannot be based unashamedly on racist principles from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and expect the residue to be magically erased by the stroke of the pen which signed legislation in Washington, DC, in 1965.

York Water Company

(04:24 PM)

All over the world water is a most precious commodity, and some sources say we're in danger of running out of clean drinking water! Kudos to the York County citizens who are doing their part in being good stewards of this natural resource and helping to conserve it. The York Water Company, a privately owned "public utility", obviously doesn't see it that way.

Voice of the people

(04:21 PM)

There is a time in every community when it's newspaper is a real service. In the case of the York Daily Record, you have reached a real low. Last summer in your Roses and Thorns editorial page you critized people for using too much water. As a good community we followed your misguided advice. Now the wonderful water company is going to raise rates for not using enough water. How about thorns to the water company? With help like yours we'd be better off reading the Philadelphia news.

Small games of chance

(04:18 PM)

I have been interviewed many times over the years about my experiences while in Viet Nam. I am proud to tell people of my service with the US army. For 39 years I have talked with veterans from all wars and told them to join a veteran club.
