KeyState faces uncertainty

Karen Elias Lock Haven The decision by the new administration to freeze billions of dollars in clean energy funding has cast uncertainty over the nearly $2 billion KeyState complex proposed for Clinton County, a project that’s unlikely to happen without a massive influx of government subsidies.

Tom Bruce Boalsburg Leave it to a Canadian to perfectly sum up what’s happening here in the US. This is what Andrew Coyne, columnist from the Toronto Globe and Mail, wrote about Trump. “Nothing mattered, in the end.

Our economy is in jeopardy

Donald Moskowitz Londonderry, NH President Trump has some good policies, but his economic policy is a disaster, and it is fraught with potential danger.

The uncertainty is promoting jitters among consumers and could provide a pullback in consumer spending and business and industry investments, which could lead to a recession. Consumer confidence plummeted in February with its largest monthly ...
