Late last week, my daughter spoke out against hatred.

Morgan County has eight elected officials, seven are paid 100% of their pay while one, the Morgan County Treasurer, only receives 74% of her pay.

If some people have their way, very soon there may be a new addition to your hometown — drone aircraft!  What?  Here?! YES!  Some are considering legislation to permit drone aircraft to fly over American hometowns, neighborhoods and private property to spy on and gather all kinds of intelligence information on private American citizens, where they go, who they associate with and every detail of your private life.

I have so many memory snapshots from Saturday, April 28. A young mother pushing a stroller with twins. A husband walking with his wife, gallantly carrying her purse as she used two hands to hold aloft a sign that read “Stop the Violence Against Women.”

The budget reports are public information, however you have to dig past the smoke and mirrors to find the true story. I have studied these reports for the years of 2010 and 2011 with 2011 being just slightly less.
I ask that this publication serves as a request to the mayor and board to also look into and correct this ongoing drain on the budget.

As a parent of a high school senior, we are gearing up for the final event prior to graduation — the High School Prom.

I am writing about a suggested safety improvement for the Key Largo area that I feel would increase traffic safety at the Key Largo intersection, and possibly benefit the economy of Osage Beach.

I am not a terrorist.

I am full of righteous fury at those responsible for selling the public trust like another commodity, traded for cents on the dollar.

In response to Mr. Reeve’s Lake View “People with guns kill people” as printed in the April 30 Edition  of the Lake Sun Leader:

I appreciate your view, I really do. Unfortunately, as with most Liberal arguments, yours is completely emotional with no regard to facts or thinking beyond your Utopian Ideals.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the Keystone XL project in the news or local media. The poll numbers for this project show most Americans are for the pipeline, but is the Keystone XL pipeline good for us?

I would like to respond to Mr. Broekemeier’s letter to the editor regarding James Bryant, who is a candidate for office. Mr. Broekemeier states that he is an open-minded democrat but the casual reader will quickly conclude that his mind is open only to the democrat talking points calculated to bash anyone who does not share his Liberal point of view.

Mr. Reeve likes to write an opinion but somehow the facts get a little muddy.

I am writing in response to an opinion piece that you recently published from my liberal brother, Eric Reeve. It was headlined, "People With Guns Kill People."

In your April 30 edition, there was a letter to the editor by Eric Reeve.  He claims to be "The Lake Liberal" and I suppose he may be right, for there wasn't one new thought in his entire piece!  The total lack of common sense seemed to drip from almost every word!

Most part time lake residents face this dilemma when they come down after the winter break and see their yards full of leaves.

There have been only a few times over the years that I have succumbed to the urge to write a letter to the editor, but sometimes I just have to yield.

In response to the many articles concerning social issues that are plaguing our society today, though entertaining, must be taken with the understanding that many anomalies exist, thus causing problems to an already complicated social structure.

It seems like we are, at every turn, fighting off government intrusion from the federal, state and local level.

To all those who hope, wish, demand that the Tea Party go away, get over it!

   I just read the headline article about the serious accidents that have occurred at Key Largo Road's entrance onto the new Highway 54 and the proposals to help the situation.
