Today's Opinions

Last week, I covered my first Marion County Board of Education meeting since December. Since then, I have written stories about activities and individuals in the school system.
But going to meetings is always a little different.
Normally, meetings are fairly routine, and in general, members of the public only come to meetings when they have a specific issue in mind.
Last week’s meeting was unusual for me. The room was relatively crowded, with 30 to 40 people in attendance by my own estimate.

I enjoyed the great article on skateboarding! I asked the city council for a skateboard park approximately six years ago, when they had money to build something. Their reply was it was too dangerous, so they built a disc golf course. I don't think it's used very much.
