    Dear Editor,

    With a school board vote coming up on Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. at 120 Mackville Hill, it’s time for the taxpayers of Washington County to get their calculators out and thinking caps on.
    Figure up what your personal tax increase will be if the school board votes for a tax levy of 57.1 cents on both real property and personal property. And ask yourself what “property” it is when we pay it on our electric, phone, long distance, car insurance or any other household bill we receive.

  • Rumor has it

     

    In the workplace it can surreptitiously move under the guise of “networking.” In the church it can be elevated to the status of “prayer requests.” But when brought to a court of law, it is usually called “defamation of character.”

    Dear Editor,

    The massacre in Colorado was a terrible act that was done by a mad man, and it sadly happens too often everywhere in this country, and all over the world, but to blame guns for murders is not the answer.
    I have owned guns nearly all my life, and I know for a fact that guns do not kill people. People kill people.
    It’s the crazed criminal out there that give the lawful people like myself and others that enjoy firearms a bad name.

  • State cracking down on pill abuse

     

    Kentucky is facing a prescription drug abuse epidemic.  

  • Youth and opportunity

     

    I spent a short amount of time living in Florida, but a few things stuck out.
    One, you never know where you might see an alligator.

  • True leadership

    Rasmussen Reports survey finds just six percent of likely voters rate the job Congress is doing as good or excellent.
    - Survey from April 2012
     
    I don’t believe the public’s opinion on our present political leadership has gotten much better since then.
    What do you think?
