Letter to the editor: Lawyer commercials on TV are redundant nuisances
I have been subscribing to The Item for years and have no complaints. I prefer a hard copy of the local news over the online option. I also have antenna television, and my complaint with it is the number of lawyer commercials shown. There are sooo … more
Letter to the editor: Join Red Cross' annual Giving Day to help S.C. families

Letter to the editor: Solution to problems is to vote for Trump on Nov. 5
This is response to "Letter writers offer no solutions to country's problems" in Saturday's March 3 The Item. I wasn't going to respond because how do you respond to ignorance, meaning "lack of knowledge or information." Some people will never … more
Letter to the editor: Letter writers offer no solutions to country's problems
The recent letters of "Trumpians," especially Sellars and Hughes, reveal them to be obvious classmates of Jethro Bodine. At least Jethro Grad-U-Ated. One declares how he will never vote for a Democrat again while the other laments the $40,000 they … more
Letter to the editor: Our children are worthy of taxpayers' investment in education
After reading the letter to the editor from JP Reilly on Feb. 20, 2024, titled, "Tax dollars funding upgrades to facilities at closed school," it reminds me of the adage, "If it don't come out in the wash, it will come out in the rinse." Mr. Reilly … more
Letter to the editor: The party of the Kennedys is dead now
And again, I feel the need to say, I am no fan of Trump, not a Republican, and was, past tense, a registered Democrat. Never again will I vote for a Democrat. Not now. Mob mentality is not my thing. What's terrifying is the governor of New York … more

At the Feb. 12, 2024, Sumter County School Board meeting, the board decided to spend almost $400,000 of your tax dollars to fund upgrades to "athletic facilities" at the closed Mayewood/Brewington Academy. This vote is irresponsible, and it is not … more

After reading The Sumter Item article titled, "Board votes 6-3 for new Mayewood athletic building," dated Feb. 14, 2024, my faith in the Sumter School District Board of Trustees is highly restored. On Feb. 12, 2024, I addressed the SSD Board of … more
Letter to the editor: Your vote for Haley in S.C. primary on Feb. 24 will send Trump a message
Would anyone choose a foul-mouthed, narcissistic, woman-shaming bully to serve as their family doctor, advisor, minister or representative? Then why in the world would one choose such a person for president? I believe character and integrity … more
