  • No transparency for stormwater group

        Editor:
        On Monday, April 30, a group of hard-working citizens converged on the county building for public comment regarding stormwater pollution. They were brought together by a shady organization called Stop Stormwater Utility Association (SSUA).
        This organization does not appear on the Secretary of State’s web site, although they are raising money and engaging in political activity.

  • Stormwater issue isn’t about the environment; it’s about what’s right

       Editor:
        In response to Mr. Dan Stapleton’s letter, all of us that are opposing this “tax-fee” that has been placed on our properties in unincorporated Adams County are with you.
        We all want clean water to drink, we all want healthy wildlife and healthy streams and rivers. The problem is the fact that we the people were never given the chance to vote or even have a say in this new stormwater utilties “tax-fee.”

  • Help protect our Adams County water and keep it clean

        Editor:
        Healthy water equals healthy people. We can’t take clean water for granted, especially since stormwater poses a threat. When a car is washed in a driveway, the soap, dirt and oil end up in the nearest creek where kids hang out or pets take a drink.

  • Too much from the left on the opinion pages

        Editor:
        Your newspaper carries, on a regular basis, the opinions written by Donald Kaul of Ann Arbor, Mich.
        It is not clear why you would regularly feature a columnist who may represent your views, but not the views of the majority of your readers. He continually attacks anyone who does not hold his far-left, liberal views.

  • New gun ban won’t work

        Dear Politicians:
        As you consider pending legislation in response to the recent tragedies at Aurora and Newtown, please keep the following thoughts in mind.
        Reinstating the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban would be a mistake. It didn’t work last time, why would anyone think it will work this time?
        There were nearly twice as many mass killings while the ban was in effect than after it expired.

  • Stormwater fee fiasco a disgrace to the county

        Dear Adams County Commissioners,
        I am embarrassed and ashamed to live in a county that would treat its own  residents this way.
        A self-created stormwater fee of $80 per year is a disgrace. How can you, the board of commissioners justify imposing a fee of this magnitude on its own residents without asking for a vote on this tax?

  • Vote no on 1A

    Editor:
        As a citizen, voter and former county commissioner, I don’t approve of the voters/taxpayers of Adams County getting deceived into thinking that five commissioners are going to make the county run any better, and that a different method of commissioner selection is needed to ensure representation, just because the county is growing. And that five commissioners are going to be less susceptible to misbehavior.

  • A long road of recovery ahead of us

    Editor:
        It took FDR at least eight years to get us out of the Great Depression. In fact, the only thing that really ended the Great Depression was WWII.
        Why do the American people feel that PresidentObama should have made much more progress in restoring our economy, when he inherited the worst mess since the Great Depression and has gotten no help from the Republicans in Congress?

  • Sidewalks save lives

    On Aug. 28, we lost another young person to a tragic hit-and-run accident. Shane Hale, 19, was hit near 120th and Peoria on Saturday night and left in a ditch to die. A passerby found his body and called for help, but Shane did not make it. I live less than half a block from where this happened and yet did not hear or see anything.
