    Make the right choice for sheriff

    Highland County’s citizens need to start monitoring and investigating the behavior and attitudes of HCSO deputies now so when Election Day comes, the citizens can make a choice for sheriff that is based on solid information. That’s how Highlanders can be sure to elect a sheriff whose department truly increases the safety of people living in Highland County and thus avoid electing one whose deputies actually make it dangerous to live here. Let’s all make every effort we can to elect, or re-elect, the right person to our sheriff’s office.

    Thanks to our unsung local heroes
    Many thanks to all the AEP employees, those I saw as well as those behind the scenes that we don’t see. It’s all in a days work to these people, but not to me. I’m writing to let them know how much I appreciate them for bringing me back into the 21st century and keeping me comfortable.

    Resident questions delay in commissioners' minutes requests
    In light of the Nov. 9 department head meeting referenced in Ms. Chandler’s article, I would think that special focus would have been made to get the minutes completed in a timely manner. However, it appears that the state auditor’s advice has been taken with a grain of salt and then discarded in order to return to business as usual in Highland County.

    Rainsboro Elementary thanked for hosting Veterans Day program
    Thanksgiving is also a time to remember those persons who have helped “pave the way” for us. Most importantly, we must remember to express our gratitude to God for all of the blessings we have received as individuals and as a nation.

    Deters' column more right-wing propaganda
    Obama is and has always been a fairly moderate Democrat and pragmatist who, checking back, has kept very one of his campaign pledges that he had the power to keep but one, which was closing of Guantanamo. If you can find another, please advise.

    Property taxes: Some pay, some don't
    Highland County is expected to have a shortfall of $191,000 in Local Government Funding, as reported in The Highland County Press on Oct. 19. It seems that the Highland County commissioners should be taking steps to recuperate the outstanding balance of delinquent property taxes to make up this projected shortfall, and quite a lot more after that.

    Board of Elections, poll workers deserve thanks
    Many long hours are spent updating voter status and rounding up the workers. At any given election, there are 150 to 160 team players who engage in setting up and tearing down equipment, ensuring the election will roll on.

    We need heroes these days
    These flight crews, along with countless other people from various walks of life remain anonymous until such time as they are called upon to do extraordinary things. The dictionary defines "hero" as: "One admired for their achievements and noble qualities." Also, "One who shows great courage."

    Ordinance proposed to redistrict Hillsboro wards
    I will note that the Council has a Republican majority and the most recent revision to Revised Code section 731.06 was approved by vote of a Republican state representative in 1970. So I would think a majority of council would approve such an action, if not exactly this plan. If you prefer another plan that gives a smilar degree of representation to the residents of each ward, you have my best wishes.

    Evaluate mayoral candidates on their ability to lead and on their personal character
    I strongly encourage all citizens to consider the words and behavior of the two mayoral candidates to make this important judgment: talk to them personally, research them on the Internet, particularly YouTube, and consider the events that have transpired during this campaign. Folks, there is a greater good than power and popularity. There is a greater good than bragging rights for the next four years. There is a greater good than political favors. There is a greater good than political party!

    Is business success really what we should be looking for when choosing a president?
    While the American public is finally waking up to what a third of a century of Reaganomics has accrued and is finally demanding a piece of the prosperity that the top 1% has enjoyed since 1980, every Republican candidate has put forth a plan to further lower the tax rate of the rich. Perhaps it is time they stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party and start listening to the majority of the American people for a change.

    Vote 'yes' on Issue 2
    Please vote YES on Issue 2 and keep common sense in our floundering economy. It is a sensible solution to preventing unlimited tax raises to satisfy Big Unions' demands. Everyone is struggling except the union bosses.
