To the editor: I would like to reply to the recent story published by Don Thrasher about the missed deadline for passing an ordinance regarding the Mayor’s pay that was to take effect on January 1, 2023.

Some voters opt to vote straight ticket, and in small communities like ours, personal relationships have already cemented decisions for others. However, the […]
To the editor, Recently, while meeting with one of my constituents, it was brought to my attention that my position on dead animal removal may be unclear or misunderstood.
