Your editorial concerning voting in the recent General Election was very
good (Nov. 1). Surely you hit the nail on the head about expressing one's
opinion through voting. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Your comments about this area not using the power of vote again were
descriptive of the area mindset. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I was also pleased to see that Sheriff Zawatski was held accountable by
the voters. It was refreshing to see Stephen Urban oust Joseph ``Red'' Jones,
who I believe was a poor commissioner. I did not appreciate many of his
comments prior to the election. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I am a native of this area and would welcome more of your comments via
editorials addressing the thinking of the people of Wilkes Barre and the
surrounding communities. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 It is about time that we got leadership in our local governments that is
not afraid to raise a little hell, get away from nepotism and just plain get
down to the solid business of rebuilding government from the good ol' boys to
sound governing and good business. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 How else can we keep our young people? We have talent in our young people,
but they leave for better opportunities. I know; both my children have left
the area. I thank you for publishing that editorial. I think some voters
listened. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
