Any thoughts on why voters no longer go to the polls. Granted, some elections are more popular than others, such as big county races or the presidential races, but t...

Haven't heard about this lately, has anyone else. I believe they presented it to the commission and mayor, with no results. Is this issue and the ones behind it done? Never did agree with it, in any way, shape or form. It's an independent decision for private business owners to deal with.

Will City Utilities Comm delay the new school opening?

From what I read in the paper, it looks like the city utilities commission won't have the sewer and utilities ran to the new school by the time it's finished. This would be a shame, and if it happens, it's time for some heads to roll.
