Since 1973, when Roe vs. Wade ushered in what would eventually lead to abortion on demand, including partial-birth abortion and even the failure to protect babies born alive after failed procedures — the pro-life movement has achieved few legislative victories.
It is time to think ahead and relocate the Punta Gorda Airport to the eastern border of Charlotte County with Desoto County. Not another penny should be spent on the current location, which is nothing more than a cobble job of trying to fit a regional airport into a previous historical “mili…
As the snowbirds leave, the city settles in for a steamy summer. Many of TEAM Punta Gorda’s 500-plus volunteers live here all year, and many are asking the question, “How can we be of service over the summer months?”
We are unlikely to ever again see a Floridian like Talbot “Sandy’’ D’Alemberte.
The FBI recently met with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and then with U.S. Sen. Rick Scott to brief them on the election office breaches mentioned in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. They purportedly were told which two Florida counties were successfully targeted and then instructed not …
An extravagant road-building package approved by the Florida Legislature and sent to the governor promised to answer one big question that’s been hanging over Tallahassee:
In a country that spans a continent, in a party that produced Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, there is still no serious political challenge to the ideological supremacy of a corrupt, deeply prejudiced conman who cares nothing for democratic traditions, constitutional limits and moral no…
In today’s Game of Trump episode, a new Florida poll should give Democrats pause about, well, a lot of things. And the President erupts at Chuck and Nancy.
Florida Power & Light Co.’s more than 5 million customers continue to be the big winners of the new federal tax law, despite what Sun newspapers would like you to believe in its misguided editorial, “State says: No breaks for FPL customers.”
On June 18 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., the city of Punta Gorda will be having a Citywide Master Plan Preview Community Engagement Event at the Charlotte Harbor Event Center. Our urban design senior planner will be sharing an update of visual images and an overview of ideas from Dover, Kohl & …
I’m proud to report recognition my colleagues received from the United Way of Charlotte County during its annual Spirit Awards ceremony. In the organization’s recent fundraising campaign, Charlotte County earned a Most Generous Workplace award in acknowledgement of the $22,262.88 raised from…
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg seems like an engaging person. He is bright, has youth and energy on his side, and he attracts positive attention. He is raising decent amounts of money for someone who virtually was unknown just a few months ago.
If you’ve been paying any attention at all to journalism in recent years — maybe not a good idea, but if you have — you surely have noticed those stories predicting, often with a certain relish, that the United States is about to become a majority-minority country.
It’s instructive that Alabama has handed the anti-abortion movement a great victory by passing a law banning it across the board — and Republican politicians who regularly tout themselves as pro-life don’t like it.
Protectors of Florida’s environment feel duped by Gov. Ron DeSantis after he approved three major toll road projects. They hoped he was a different kind of Republican after his moves to protect Florida’s land and water. But while I almost always side with that sentiment, I don’t agree this time.
When author Mark Childress penned “Crazy in Alabama,” he wasn’t just whistling Dixie.
Did you catch President Donald Trump’s news conference on immigration policy last Thursday? Trump has long assured Americans that his southwest border wall is underway, even though Congress has been reluctant to hand over money for the project. Lately, in tweets and speeches including Thursd…
‘Seize the day!”
