  • Reader responds to columnist's response

    To the editor:
  • When will voters get a clue?
    Until we elect those individuals who are committed to eliminating waste and needless programs, paying down the rampant public debt, and implementing a wholesale change in the way our government does business, decline will continue. If a business operated the way our government does, it would go out of business in short order.
  • Kindergarten registration support appreciated
    My staff at the Hillsboro City Schools Early Childhood Center and I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers who donated their time to work at the annual kindergarten registration held April 7. Approximately 144 students were registered that day.
  • How can struggling people pay any more in taxes?
    Questions have arisen about the current tax campaigns being waged in Highland County on behalf of Cooperative Extension and the Soil and Water Conservation District. Who is paying for all those yard signs?
  • Voters asked to support Issue 4
    We are writing to ask voters in Highland County to join us in supporting our Highland Soil and Water Conservation on May 4th.
  • Sheriff endorses David Daniels for state senate
    To the editor:
    I don't know Clyde Evans well. I've only met him a few times. What I've heard from people in southern Ohio is that Clyde Evans is a nice guy, but that David Daniels is a nice guy who would make a better, more conservative state senator.
  • Sheriff urges Greenfield citizens to vote "No" on Safety Services Income Tax Repeal Issue
    To the editor:
    In the upcoming primary election on May 4, you will be asked to decide whether to repeal part of the 1/2 percent income tax that was enacted in the mid-1980s specifically for your safety services, police and fire.
  • Are churches hosting tea parties?
    What's going on in God's house? Have churches forgotten about their main focus, teaching "love ye one another as Christ has loved you," and leading souls to Christ Should the church be involved in political rallies?
  • Support Soil and Water Conservation District levy
    Let's not forget that Highland County was the first in the state to establish this conservation district in 1942. It is now time for the voters of Highland County to step up again and support continued conservation efforts by voting YES on May 4 in support of the Highland Soil & Water Conservation District.
  • 'Tea Partiers are grumpy, old and rich; i.e. Republicans'
    The record of the extreme right has constantly been on the wrong side of history. They were wrong on Social Security. They were wrong on passing civil rights legislation. They were wrong on Medicare. They were wrong on women's rights. They were wrong on Iraq and wrong on healthcare reform.
  • Doing the right thing; vote yes on Issue 5
    Sometimes you can vote for the popular thing, but there are times when you have to vote yes, even if it costs you, simply because it’s right.
  • Columnist asked to provide source on Pelosi quote
    I have the same problem with Gary Lewis as I do with the Tea Party he so enthusiastically supports. With so many valid issues to deal with in a respectful manner, why keep shouting lies and spreading misinformation?
  • Extension Agency provides many services to county
    Many letters and articles have been written about the upcoming levy for the Highland County Extension Agency. Most of these have been focused on the potential removal of Highland County’s 4-H program as a result of this levy not passing. Although 4-H is a very important program, it is not the only service that the Extension Agency provides for our community, and it is important that the voters are aware of all that Extension has to offer.
  • A different view on government taxation
    I always enjoy the opinion columns and make it a point to read Rory and Bill's weekly installments. Bill is someone that I rarely agree with. Last week, we were informed about the problem with drywall from China, and yes, it is a serious problem, but it's an almost 10-year-old problem. Then Bill goes on to tell us about wages and how poorly we are doing. Well, I would like to give you a different opinion on what's going on.
  • A poor time to seek tax increase
    As most Americans today, and particularly those of us in Highland County, I am greatly concerned about our financial situation, and the dim prospects for improvement. With our local 19 percent unemployment rate, this would seem to be a very poor time to ask for more taxes from us.
  • Sheriff's office commended for quick action
    I want to express my sincere appreciation for the hard work and professionalism shown once again by the Highland County Sheriff's Office.
