Can Connor Cover? A Candy Bowl Of Topics For Some Halloween Spirit

I’m sitting here on a Wednesday afternoon, perhaps a bit more tired than usual, and my brain is not firing on all cylinders like it usually is. I’m trying to think of a Halloween angle for this week’s introduction, but I can’t seem to think of which way to go. Scariest losses I’ve suffered as a fan? The not-so-creative “athletes as Halloween candies”? Shoot, I thought about just abandoning sports all together and just listing some of my favorite scary movies and Halloween memories. Actually, why don’t I just do one of each?

Letters to the Editor

Data Center Backlash

Editor, Times-Union: Most of us are probably happy to see campaign ads coming to an end. However, a common talking point this election cycle was backlash to data centers. It seemed associated with them was a candidate’s opportunity to give their opponents the scarlet letter. It got particularly ludicrous though when candidates who couldn’t really address AI policy, like Democrat Secretary of State nominee Beau Bayh, started trying to use it as a talking point.

Response To Yakym

Editor, Times-Union: Why did 198 Democrats vote against H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act? The answer is more complicated than simply “Democrats opposed banning congressional stock trading.”

No Understanding

Editor, Times-Union: I don’t understand anymore. I need someone, anyone, to explain my questions.

Skinner’s Pressure

Editor, Times-Union: At last night's presentation concerning the Courts of Colfax, Warsaw’s Community & Economic Development Director, Jeremy Skinner, appeared more interested in pressuring the City Council to a yes vote than addressing legitimate concerns raised about his proposal.

Plain Township Board

Editor, Times-Union: Elections that we’ve heard about in every news cycle for what seems like ages are right around the corner. Before we head to the polls in a few short days, I want to challenge everyone to be introspective and consider what we, as individuals, truly want. I hope we will all steadfastly reflect on what we believe will be the best for our families and our neighbors.
