The Middletown Journal lists its 1857 founding title with publisher Edwina Blackwell Clark and editor M. David Goodwin. Michael Williams serves as editorial page editor.
Excerpts from Ohio editorials discuss whether President Bush caused Ohio job losses. They indict state spending and Taft taxes, note a high state tax burden, and urge reevaluation of U.S. and U.N. roles. Also critique Sen Kerry’s gun ban critique as misdirected politics.
Letters to the editor question when permanent structures on city property became allowed and warn against further memorials in medians. Readers also critique school policy, leaf removal funding, and city services while suggesting civic options and accountability ahead of levy votes.
A Tribune Media Services interview weighs debate dynamics with Kerry showing steadier focus on foreign policy while Bush relies on compact messages. It notes undecided voters may favor Kerry’s stature but Bush momentum and simple messaging could sway swing voters.
The piece contrasts two defining camps in modern politics. One side sees Fahrenheit 9/11 as truth and views Bush as weak, while the other views Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings as guiding current events, seeing a global battle against radicalism. It cites Tony Blair on terrorism and democracy’s role in security.
The Middletown Journal outlines letter submissions with full name address and daytime phone for verification. Submissions become property of the paper, may be edited for length and clarity, and may be reused in any medium.
