Take a load off

Commission decides entrance monuments will be built
“In my opinion beautification is part of infrastructure,” Julie Johnson said.

“I believe we need to improve our community,” Jim Kessler said. “I think it shows a sign of stability and that we’re proud of our community. We are progressive and doing things to move ahead.”
Stability? Jobs, busy storefronts, and growth are REAL signs of stability. Jim, you never have been in touch with the community. Time for a change.

Don't forget to shovel
The editors would never admit it, but I think they enjoy stirring the pot and causing an uproar on their website.
