Lee Avenue Bridge needs attention

To the Editor, Cleveland Cliffs management issue: Lee Avenue Bridge. Maybe is Cliffs management gets in on the act, action will be taken to get the bridge built. It was heavily used by local citizens every day. The Lee Avenue Bridge has been an eyesore for the city and now for Cleveland Cliffs. No matter how one wants to cut the pie, Route 2, from Beckley to Newell showcases Weirton to the tune of 14,000 plus cars a day through Weirton.

A heartless act

To the Editor, This letter is in regards to a very deranged person. A coward, one with no morals or a soul.

On Monday, Tucker Carlson started the onslaught and Sean Hannity finished off President Joe Biden’s mental condition as mental health by the numbers — you name it, Biden’s got it. I guess now they have confessed they are not journalists, only pundits. It’s OK to use unintelligible and meaningless language with Carlson’s frown and Hannity’s giggle while reporting everybody in Biden’s White House is a liar for not reporting the ...
