Dear editor:
I read Monday’s editorial in the Niles Daily Star very carefully because it initially appeared to be a serious editorial about the lack of cooperation across the political aisles in Congress. As I read the editorial, I noticed that it listed one example of Republican bad behavior after another and not a single example [...]
Dear editor:
In regard to all the help the U.S. is giving Haiti and other countries in need: We have people at home losing their jobs and homes every day. We have starving children who need homes and no other countries come to our aid. We need to be more concerned with our own and let [...]
The health care fat lady is about to sing
Dear editor:
I watched much of the health care debate today. When President Obama adjourned the summit after hours of debate, I doubt that much of the gap between Democrats and Republicans had narrowed. Both sides used talking points to reiterate positions first articulated months ago. There was a lot of posturing, but neither side was [...]

Dear editor:
To everyone who donates to organizations:
About seven months ago I was let go from Tyler Refrigeration due to the selling of the plant. In the last month Tyler and Hill Phoenix, the company that bought out Tyler, donated money to give to Tyler employees who were hurt by the closing of the shop. Well, [...]
Eastside Park ice rink accepting donations
Dear editor:
Since your article (”Free ice rink opens for season,” Feb. 3) I have received a call requesting information about mailing a donation.
I told them to make the check payable to the City of Niles, and to put ice rink in the memo section and to mail it to either city hall or to me, [...]
