Inquiries find that East 80 Bridge not past deadline

Contractor is not behind. Deadline for completion is not until April 1, 2008.

Wesley Hutchison has written a letter which says that the length of time it is taking to build the East 80 bridge is not caused by lack of effort. "I work there and we work rain or shine and the contract is very different from what people think," he said, and it is a different kind of bridge."

Mr. Hutchison was unavailable at the time of this post, but we expect to hear from him later.

Gas Price Drumbeat quickens: Mayor, CJE taking action

COMMENTARY and NEWS.

Columbia Mayor Pat Bell and Adair County CJE Ann Melton have tried diplomacy. Now they're getting hard-nosed to bring fairness in gasoline pricing to Adair County. New supply source likely.
By Ed Waggener

It's been months since readers started sending a barrage of complaints about the gas price differential charged in Columbia, KY. The letters, from activist Gerald and others, just asked "Why?"

After Mayor Pat Bell usually gets action with diplomacy. His letters to distributors supplying Columbia, KY, didn't get the desired behavior, but it got an answer to "Why?": The distributors charge higher prices here because they don't have discount competitors and because they can.
