Stimulating talk

By Josh Sweigart | Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 08:34 AM

If anyone missed Pres. Barack Obama’s address and press conference last night, we have coverage of it here.

Here are some thought from local residents and local leaders, including state Sen. Gary Cates, R-Butler County, County Commission President Donald Dixon and U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp.
