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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
