Mingming Chen only got 22 years for killing her daughter then leaving her body in the ... restaurant. This should have been life. Laws need to be changed.

Why should we support Mingming Chen? Deport her now.

To the caller that thinks Robert Mueller will have President Trump impeached; sit tight. It's going to be even more fun watching the Obama and Clinton scumbags being held accountable for their criminal acts and abuse of power.

I'm calling about the empty Kmart building. I think it would be great if Planet Fitness would buy that. That would be an awesome place for Planet Fitness. We could have one of those healthy food stores in that restaurant right there in front. Then I wouldn't have to go to Belden Village

I just want to say bravo to Frederick Elsass, of North Canton, who wrote a letter to the editor on Saturday, Dec. 30. I concur 100 percent, and thank you for expressing your opinion.

If anyone would like to see a beautiful Christmas display it's out on Abraham Avenue NW across from St. Barb's. A beautiful, beautiful Christmas display.

It would really be nice if the owner of Massillon Cable would give us a small discount instead of raising our rates. We know he built a new building, and that's fine and everything, but our rates get raised every year.

This year, Trump has spent $91,655,424 of American taxpayer money on golf trips. For that money, Meals on Wheels could have fed 33,117 seniors for an entire year. For that money, after-school programs could have fed 635,936 poor kids for an entire year. Trump first, ha. America first.

The trend to legalize recreational marijuana is a road to disaster. Smoking pot has all the dangers of tobacco plus it also damages the brain and destroys a person's humanity.

Oh, you liberals got to love the global warming we are having right now. Baby it is cold outside.

I'm calling about all the information I'm seeing about the Imagine Massillon project. My concern with the project is will there be funding? I know it is grant based, after we are done to manage the bricks in the street, the new sidewalks, all those things, because currently we are not managing the planters. We are not taking care of the stuff. So if there is not a grant afterward to pay for maintenance, I'd like to know who is going to pay for this? Secondly, are we going to be able to fill the empty businesses because you are not going to attract people to downtown if there is not much to do unless there is an event. If there is an event, it is packed. Those who are on the Imagine project, I wish you would go downtown more often. You keep using the words to attract more people downtown. I go there all the time and everything is always busy.

A big thank you to Meals on Wheels and all the little ones for the great art on our meal bags and also the decorated placemats. They brightened our holidays.
