Feedback on “Happy Labor Day!”

The Labor Day cartoon was right on ! How did we permit the leaders (?) of this region to rob the Treasury, permit the infrastructure to crumble and outright lie to us? It may be too late for the Mon Yough valley to rebound to the once vibrant region we grew up in regardless of who wins in November.
Thanks for keeping informed and entertained !
