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.
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.
SHOP LOCAL means you believe in your community and that we work together to strengthen our local businesses and economy. SHOP LOCAL is more than a slogan – it’s a way of thinking, acting and supporting our community.
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.
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."
Editor's note: The Highland County Press received these two letters today regarding Ohio Issue 2, the repeal of Senate Bill 5. The first was from Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. The second was from Jason Perlman, of the Ohio AFL-CIO.
I am Robbie Wallace. I have resided in Lynchburg for almost 13 years and plan on staying here through thick and thin. I am raising my family here because I believe in the spirit of this Village.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Obama has done more to protect this country and build world respect for our country than Bush did in eight years, or the current crop of Republican presidential candidates could ever accomplish.
Above all, become concerned and involved with Greenfield. In the end, you will be glad you did! You may find someone saying to you, “you know, we sure look a lot better around here, thanks to you.” And that will be your payment in full!
It only makes sense that this age limit be increased. In this day and age, many people work into their 70s. Ohio judges that are experienced and competent should have the same opportunity to work for the citizens of Ohio.
