It appears the reporting on the May 9 County Council meeting was heavily one-sided and clouded by what could be personal political biases, slanted in a way which veils the truth to anyone who wasn’t in attendance at the proceedings. The story on the decision of County Council to defund the Community Liaison Department serves […]

I would like to provide some background information in relation to the article about the Fairfield County Library’s budget request. While it is true that there is millage assessed specifically for library services, in fact the library cannot access any of those funds without a vote of County Council. This policy was put in place […]

You can imagine my outrage at reading your well-written article of May 6 on the VA scam. I spent 20 years on active duty in the Army, retiring in November 1980. My time included two tours in Viet Nam (1966-67, and 1970-71), and I made 34 military parachute jumps. My left shoulder was jerked from […]

The D.C.A. was founded by Bruce Wadsworth because one of our dear community members and friends was murdered. There was about 75-plus individuals to attend the meeting. It […]

First I want to thank everyone for all the support! I learned great respect for the law and the importance of serving others from an early age. I’m a family man that understands the importance of providing a haven for children to learn and play and for the senior citizens to feel safe. I reflect […]
