There is always a face behind those who write. They are just like everyone else that you come into contact in daily life, with the exception that they choose to write or blog on just about anything. Much like introducing yourself to someone you meet at your favorite restaurant or simply out and about at the mall or what have you, I haven’t formally introduced myself to you.

When we look at benefits and pay of elected officials, of course, there are going to be many thoughts engaged in the debate as to whether these benefits are needed or not. Generally heard are the fact that compensation needs to be made for sacrificing time and for attracting quality candidates. However, when we look from the outside in, we tend to quash those reasonings and go right to the point that public service is just that….service.

If you haven’t read today’s article, “GM’s Spring Hill workers worry,” http://tinyurl.com/cnmk4w, take a look at it when you get a chance. Forget about the elections this week for just a moment, a response to this issue is needed from all here in Spring Hill. Isn’t it time for all sides here in the city and the state, for that matter, to unite together and protect our neighbor?

We are well into the election campaign swing. Don’t forget, early voting is until the 4th of April and the main election is on the 9th. Let your voice be heard as you cast your vote for Mayor and Alderman for Ward 1 through 4.

Election 2009 is just about upon us. There are so many candidates vying for the opportunity to represent the electorate. Some familiar and some new faces wanted to get their voices heard by you in a series of two forums over the past two weeks. The question must be asked who was effective or who [...]
