Thinks other efforts might get better results than tax recall John Ford writes: Jon (Halsey), I agree and support your position all the way. I just think that your time would be better served to petition the government to have a peaceful demonstration on the square to which you could invite the media and some state officials or do any number of other things that could bring light upon the situation. Only then will things get done. I hope that I didn't give the wrong impression and imply that nothing should be done, it does my heart good to see the effort. I just think that even if you win...you lose. P.S. Is this an election year for state officials? If so I would bet money that someone in frankfort would just love to ride in here and save the day for all you taxpayers, or should I say voting taxpayers. Voting is the only leverage a taxpayer has and if you can't get any satisfaction then vote against them. - John FordComments re article 53763 Many are missing point on Hospital Tax 2012-08-16 12:06:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

FFA more important to son than football Kim Bryant writes: My son is a junior and a member of FFA. It is teaching him life skills and things about farming that will be very useful to him, as he plans on farming when he gets out of school. I realize that ACHS might need another foreign language teacher, but not at the expense of our agriculture students. FFA is as important to my son as football is to an athlete. He should not have something taken away from him that he has been a part of for the last three years. There has to be a better way. - Kim BryantComments re article 53755 Adair FFA student urges turnout in support of third Ag teacher 2012-08-16 04:40:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
