Local Voices: Concerns Over Housing, Economy, and Community Support
In the January 2, 2025 edition of The Journal, residents express various concerns impacting local life in Charles Town and Martinsburg. Discussions range from the scrutiny of government entitlement programs and the need for trade skill emphasis, to frustrations over taxpayer-funded security measures at the ERJ and the urgency of investigating sudden gas price hikes. In a more personal note, a heartfelt thanks is extended to Miss Jackie from Bethel Church for her generous support to those in need. Additionally, citizens raise critical questions about the implications of rapid housing developments on local infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
