  • Letter: Historic solution to a historic problem

    Congress has an opportunity this week to make a historic decision that would permanently change the culture of spending in Washington. Our nearly $15 trillion of accumulated debt is a threat to our nation's economic recovery, our national security and the welfare of future generations. 

    We have already succeeded in changing the debate in Washington from "How much can we spend?" to "How much can we cut?" Now, we must go even further and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment.

  • Letter: Providing health care at home

    More than 11 million Americans receive home delivered health care from home health providers. In their honor, I would like to join the National Association for Home Care and Hospice in celebrating November as National Home Care Month. My focus is to increase awareness in both the community and among health care professionals, to educate on the criteria and indicators for home care utilization and to express gratitude for business we have and will receive.

    Get out and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 8, for Gov. Steve Beshear. Please do not take this election for granted. The polls may show the governor leading but what really counts are the votes tallied on election night.

  • Letter: County judge supports Beshear

    During the past four years as the economy has tanked, jobs have disappeared, and  everyone has had to tighten their belts, Marion County has fared far better than  many other communities.

    The assistance provided by Frankfort --  the Governors' Office, Department for  Local Government, and our legislators has been extremely beneficial to the citizens  of Marion County.

  • Postal leaders should take a pay cut

    Since I'm told that Marion County has 10 post offices counting the main post office, how does the management decide which one to close?

    Since the Bradfordsville Post Office has been picked to close because of its dwindling income, isn't there a way to solve this post office issue?

    It can't be income. The Bradfordsville income for 2011 is higher than the year of 2010.

    If the USPS needs to cut a large amount of overspending, why not stop Saturday deliveries?
