The events of this year have led to significant increases in traffic to news publisher websites, as Americans look to local journalists to inform them about […]
Letter: Vote For America
October 1, 2020 By
I know that many people keep their political views to themselves and just go and vote, but, due to my experience, I think I have the duty to share my opinion. I risked my life and escaped from a socialist dictatorial regime because of political reasons. I had to wait two years for the US […]

This Nov. 3, Fairfield voters will be casting one especially critical vote that will either move Fairfield forward or doom it to stagnation for years. It’s the Penny Sales Tax vote.

Letter: Fairfield Needs WWTP Now
October 1, 2020 By
This letter is to endorse the approval of a new waste-water treatment plant in Fairfield County near Ridgeway.

Letter: Fairfield Needs Penny Tax

Letter: Former Mayor Enraged at Current Councilmen
July 30, 2020 By
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in your vote last night! I just don’t get it, $5000 for the year (little over $400/month) to house the cultural groups and the chamber. Not to mention the “Visitor Center” component! We have squandered so much more money on other things in the past, just look […]
