The message is clear here, let's put "Christ" back in Christmas where it belongs! Thank you, Lorie, for your strong stance on an issue that shouldn't have to be.

I have to say AMEN to your courage, as a physician, to voice your opinion on a such a controversial subject. Your view is shared and wouldn't it be nice if we did remember that it is He who has the final say. When that day comes, will it be technology that gets us to heaven? Don't think so.

Temp or not, there's a thing called WORK ETHIC...something that's gone by the wayside in this country. It's sad that company's can get what they want out of their employees and then treat them like they don't even matter in the end. "Hey, work this last shift for us, and then at the end of the day, we're going to say 'See Ya'"...
Didde/Modine lay offs, more power to you all to find a decent job that will help you get by in this world :)

Perhaps Menu Personnel should reconsider those that they're laying off. They want to boot those that are dependable, hard workers and keep those that are "temps" to save them money. Well, as we all know, the slackers that they'll keep will end up costing them more money in the long run. Very poor management decisions from this company in the last year. Sad for Emporia, can any business last????

I, like hogan77, no longer live in Emporia. Ten years ago, while going to college there, Emporia was a decent place. My family still lives there and I'm appauled at the stories I hear from them about illegals and the new "population" that has taken over. Even when I visit, you might think you're visiting another country, b/c all you hear is everything BUT English!
With all the businesses/manufacturers closing in the last years, it's so sad to think that Tyson is causing such havoc on this once peaceful place, by wanting to employ those that aren't even natives???? Not only will Emporians be plagued by potential disaster, but think of what the rest of America will soon become. I will encourage my family to attend the meetings, and if nothing comes of that, I will encourage them to leave Emporia. After all, what have they got to lose?
I used to wear my ESU attire with pride, but after reading all the chaos that is going on there, I will probably think twice about it now.
The posts that say people are being racist, bigots or whatever, are blind. It's not about color, race, religion, it's about what they believe in. I'm tired of the race card being pulled all the time, there is such a thing as reverse discrimination, and I see it all the time!
I hope your city commissioners really HEAR and LISTEN to what the community is saying. Instead of focusing on the menial $104,000 grant, how about grants that would help those displaced by being layed off, those single parents that are barely making it, and those retired americans that have worked their butts off, only to have to go back to work again b/c they can't afford their medications???? Seems simple to me. Good luck!
