Chromebooks for Casey: We're just $200 away from match total There was one donation yesterday, but it was a big help: With just $200 more today, the match total for an additional $500 donation will be reached. Maybe a hero will do that. Or several small donors will chip for a big kickoff for the weekend. Just a little way to go to get the 30 laptops on their way! Patty Jones writes: Where we stand right now..... Make your donation now at Chromebooks for Casey. Is there a hero out there who wants to kickstart the drive by donating $200 this morning - before breakfast - which would mean, with the matching funds, an additional $700 for the drive? Wow! What a giving opportunity. It's really like a $3,500 gift: with the money, $500 laptops will be purchased for just $99 each. If $200 is too big, what about $84 to put the drive over $2,000? Whatever you give, any amount will be appreciated. - CM 2013-04-12 06:33:55 | Comments | Printable version

Keep an open mind, both ways, but be aware that events are moving quickly and it may be out of citizens hands in a short time. At CM we'll do our best to get the facts on the costs, the tax breaks, the incentives, and to help weigh the benefits and the downside. We'd like to know both sides of the controversy. -ED WAGGENER By Ed Waggener CM Commentary Now is the time to do your own research and decide whether the effort by the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Board's to bring what is believed to be - they still won't say publicly what it is - a chicken feed plant to the Green River Commerce Park.
