A couple of the Fairfield County Council members have remarked that the ads I ran in The Voice (Oct. 24 and Oct. 31) were all lies. I have with me the FOI information from the Fairfield County administration to repudiate the comments of the council members about the ads. What was a lie? The Deputy Administrator […]

So let it be written. So let it be done! That’s how Yul Brynner said it in “The Ten Commandments.” It’s actually not that hard to believe that the greater majority of Fairfield voters came out and voted in almost record numbers. What does it say when you win three out of the four incumbent seats? One of […]

Bravo to the Mayor and members of the Blythewood Town Council for ending the costly proposal to erect another building at Doko Park so a private enterprise could establish a restaurant. As the motion to ditch the project said, it was “not in the best interest of the people . . . to incur, directly […]

Ms. Vokaty, Thank you so much for the delicious hot chocolate recipe in this week’s Independent Voice. It was perfect for this cold, wet, windy November day. Best of all, it was so simple to prepare and with ingredients that most people already have on hand. I didn’t have whole milk but did have skim and […]

The distrust of our current County Council was sown, Mrs. Kinley, not by concerned citizens shining light on the facts, but by the actions of our current Council, like the shady $24 million bond issuance, week-long taxpayer-funded resort vacations for 3-day conferences, taxpayer money in lieu of excessive health insurance, undocumented expenses, free college education for […]

This was done by choice as we wanted to live in a small town (specifically the place where my wife, her parents and grandparents lived in). Fairfield County was not the same place it had been all those years ago. It seems to have changed and not necessarily in a […]

Take the politics out of the 6th Circuit Solicitor’s race and it is nothing more than a job interview. You are the interviewers for that job and the candidates are presenting their resumes. If it were a job interview, who would you hire? I have over 12 years of handling major criminal cases throughout our […]

I support Marion Robinson for Fairfield County Council District 5. It is time that we bring Transparency, Accountability, and Trust back in to the County Government. Under the direction of our Current leadership in District 5, we have created higher taxes and more County employees. If we continue this trend and the amount of money […]

When I read Councilman Brown’s and Mayor Gaddy’s endorsement Of Councilman Sanders’ candidacy for County Council District 7, I thought to myself: “Isn’t this just more of the same?” Over the course of the past year and a half, we have come to understand how poorly we have been served by our sitting Council members. […]

Mikel Trapp (District 3) said that some people in his district are Republican Tea Party members. I am not a Republican or a Tea Party person. But I will tell you that I am a taxpayer and have been for 54 years. No politician can buy me or my vote with gifts that Mr. Trapp […]
