Local Voices Weigh In on Community Issues and Politics
In the latest edition of The Journal, community voices from towns such as Martinsburg, Charles Town, and Shepherdstown express their opinions on various local issues, from trash management and the impact of Walmart's removal of trash cans to political sentiments and judicial accountability. Residents are concerned about the upcoming census and demand the inclusion of a citizenship question to ensure fair elections, while also critiquing the influence of high tuition rates at elite universities on local families.
